Hyndman and Ricchetti (Rags Gardner, RII)

Causing headaches for FC Dallas for the second straight of season is the continued request by Pablo Ricchetti to receive the larger contract he says he was promised when he signed with Dallas. Ricchetti has recently requested a trade to the LA Galaxy or a release so he can join a team in Mexico. FCD head coach Schellas Hyndman says he’s not pleased by Ricchetti’s most recent move. “It’s kind of tough for anybody in any working environment to walk into an office and say I’m demanding a new contract and a new salary. In our culture, that is not received very well. As a coach, I’m disappointed because this was a player that I stood by and supported completely.”
