Out with the old SBI, in with the new SBI (My farewell)

Good morning everybody. It is time to let you all know about the changes to Soccer By Ives that I have hinted about for months.

I am leaving the Herald News after 10 years at the paper in order to devote myself to launching and running a soccer news website that readers from all over the country, and American soccer fans all over the world, can come to for the best mix of news and analysis around. www.soccerbyives.net will be that site.

My plan is to make the new SoccerByIves a one-stop shop for all your soccer news needs. Curious about European transfers? Wondering who the next MLS coaching hire will be or whether a rumored trade is actually happening? Interested in hearing other people's opinions on the big soccer news of the day? You will find all of these elements on the new SBI just as you found them on the old SBI, only with more content on a wider range of topics.

www.soccerbyives.net launches live today, January 2, so you can feel free to change your bookmarks to the new site immediately.

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions you can contact me at soccerbyives@gmail.com. In the meantime, I look forward to seeing you at the new SBI.

Good luck Ives! I agree with everyone's sentiments that it will be a great success. I go to your site at least once a day to get caught up on soccer news. Happy New Year!

I think your site is what soccer needs, since here in the USA there is very little coverage.
