spliff Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 today an insider told me that Thunder coach Duncan Wilde has resigned yesterday. I don't know the reason, but after I have asked a Hamilton player, it seems like that this is no rumor any longer. Anyone other informations?

thunderguy Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 The Thunder owner brought in 5 players from Croatia without asking/telling the coaching staff. The coaches objections were not heeded and they resigned. This is not the first meddling from the owner. A new coach appeared at yesterday's practice. Unfortunately he can't speak a word of English. Players are jumping ship in droves... pity, Duncan had put together a good team that was playing very well. The undefeated record is in real jeopardy now.

thunderguy Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 I'm only guessing but perhaps he wants to make sure there are no shots on goal! His keeper son hasn't received very many positive reviews on this board over the past couple of years. After all it is his money and he can do whatever he wants with it! Unfortunately he's taken a contender and destroyed the chemistry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spliff Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 Don't forget, he needs the fans ! I just don't take it anymore, and I will not visit one more game this season. The owner can f... around with his coaches but not with me ! cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderguy Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 Maybe he could have put some of that money into the website. The latest news item is a month old. The mascot contest pop-up was over a week ago and still it appears. The history, league stats and scoring stats are no where to be found. It's a great start to a site but it needs hourly, or at the very least daily, updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spliff Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 I tell you something. I really like the team, but I don't like the management and owner. They screwed two good coaches in less than 12 month. They will never ever have the success like Ottawa, Montreal Impact or Vancouver. Now I hope Ottawa will make it again ! cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamiltonfan Posted July 20, 2003 Author Share Posted July 20, 2003 I wouldn't blame the the owner yet. You dont no, this players might be really good and might help the Thunder win the rogers cup. spliff just wondering how is the owner f++++++ you www.cpsl.ca www.hamiltonthunder.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spliff Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 Hey Hello, I know a couple of the players. The owner is not just f..... me, believe me. I am also a soccer fan and I thought something realy good is comming up in Hamilton. Than all that bull.... in the last two years. And now I am dissapointed. Don't get me wrong. It is not the team or the players. The problem is the owner's interest. HIS SON . That's why he transfered the players from croatia, to assure that his son is looking great in net. He gives a s.... about the success of Hamilton. That's why he is f...... with me and all the other fans of the team! cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderguy Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 Nah, I'm not an insider. I just know several of the players and keep my ears open and ask the occasional question. I'm prepared to give the owner a chance though. There was a lot of depth in the Hamilton squad. Halberto Harris, who didn't even make the Hamilton bench became the starting striker with Toronto Croatia a couple of weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luis_Rancagua Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 After today's performance by the women's National Squad in Ottawa, there is no doubt in my mind that Ottawa Wizards will be the next Canadian city in the A-League by 2005. This is without a doubt as a result of today's attendance at Frank Clair Stadium for women's soccer. If I am correct, this game was almost a major sell-out. From here, the city of Ottawa, the amateur soccer associations, along with business in the area will surely push for the idea of establishing an A-League franchise in the nation's capital. In fact, this is how Edmonton were able to establish an A-League club so quickly as a result of the women's Youth World-Cup event last year. This does not mean that I have given-up on Hamilton. No. Absolutely not. In fact, I still have hope for Hamilton's entry into the A-league. I wouldn't be surprised that both Ottawa and Hamilton achieve entry into the A-League at the same time by 2005. I do think that 2005 is a crucial year for Canadian A-League soccer. I am hoping that, aside from Hamilton and Ottawa, other cities such as Winnipeg, Quebec City, Windsor, and Victoria send application to the A-League for 2005.

hamiltonfan Posted July 21, 2003 Author Share Posted July 21, 2003 In ottawa there is no where to play is there??alos hamilton as gotten more fans a CPSL games then Ottawa has this year. www.cpsl.ca www.hamiltonthunder.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luis_Rancagua Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Let's remember one thing hello. Ottawa managed to stage an International game that brought a huge following to the stands at Frank Clair Stadium. This gives a major boost to the Ottawa A-League organizing committee. Business and the city politicians will surely give the thumbs-up by backing an Ottawa A-League bid. Just remember that this is how Edmonton won an A-League bid within a 1 year period.

Luis_Rancagua Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 I would classified in this case the Ottawa Wizards as being the organizing committee. It is their organization that's pushing for entry into the A-League. But in order to do so, the club needs support from the city, business in the area, etc...
