Agree. There is a pre-2014 vs post-2014 delineation for MU - FIJItiger MU

- 7/2 17:57:03

The delineation for MU shouldn’t be 2014 - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/2 18:04:47

Diamond Drake would have fired him after 3 years - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/2 10:58:15

Probably. Definitely wouldn't have hired him in the first - Diamond Dave MU
