Until now I have at least given the Hartrells credit for putting their money in to keep a team alive in Toronto but maybe it would be better if they were not there. Of course there is always the chance Toronto would have no team at all but in end effect maybe the "impact" of the Hartrell's on Toronto is to hold the USL franchise rights of the city thus preventing a more competent owner with vision from establishing a team there.

Thanks GL, that's better.

As far as I can tell, all these players have been traded to the Impact by the club since 1997 - three times for future considerations. Bah.

Yeah Daniel but we send our "superstars" to you guys and you send us your bench players, then we give them playing time, make them lose 30-40 pounds and ship em back for you guys ready to ship to Sweeden for a big paycheque.

Arango, Taty, and Francois are the only players we actually have gotten from the Impact. The rest were guys were not in contract. So in other words, rejects. Arango played five minutes (literally) in his seasonw with you, Francois stinks, and Taty isnt bad. Thats one good pickup.

You are correct but blame your owner.

What a joke Bruno and his band of idiots ... why dont the Lynx just die now.. they are never ever going to compete for anything and really are just ripping off the the handfull of fans they have. The Toronto Lynx fans should just boycot the games or bring in banners saying MLS NOW get this Bruno Hattrel head case out of soccer.

What the hell is this? Did they really put an exclamation point at the end of that sentence, or did you add this on as a joke?

Lynx fans are supposed to be excited about that?
