Now I can answer.

I strongly suspect the latter, he's done nothing so far to convince me otherwise. He already disrespected Facchetti (probably unknowingly, but ignorance in this case pisses me off almost as much as if he had done it intentionally). I'll give him time I guess, but I'm not very optimistic about my opinion of him changing. Though he has done one thing right & that's get rid of Branca.
On a related note, there's rumors he's going to sell DC United to fix our debt.
