Welcome back to the Bayou City Soccer Podcast. Joined by Edson Ochoa, we're talking about the night-and-day difference in roster spending since Ted Segal took over as majority owner. We've seen record transfer fees, one after another, and it's clear there's real ambition on the soccer side of the Houston Dynamo now. That part finally feels like it's moving in the right direction.But while the team on the field is clearly improving, the rest of the club still feels stuck. Marketing, community engagement, rewarding loyal fans, and honestly just understanding how big and passionate the soccer community is in Houston — all of that feels like it's missing or being ignored.And that's what makes this so frustrating. Houston is about to host the biggest soccer event in the world with the World Cup coming here, and yet it feels like the club is completely missing the moment. Somewhere along the line, the front office just doesn't seem to get Houston or its soccer culture, and that disconnect is only hurting the fanbase in the long run.-All that and much more in this episode!-We invite you to follow us at Bayou City Soccer!-BayouCitySoccer.net-@BayouCitySoccer on Facebook, IG, and Twitter-Hit us up using our hashtag #AskBCS-Hosts:@rudysegura3 on Twitter@crisputallaz on Twitter-Again, BayouCitySoccer.net for everything!
