Contrary to previous reports, Johnson says Saputo has been wonderful to deal with. Mentions that there will probably be friendlies with the Impact next year. Poz, Reda and Pellerud are also interviewed. http://www.fan590.com/features/hotaudio.jsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 quote:Originally posted by Jamit What else is he going to say? But yeah, it is a great show. Mo Johnson seems pretty honest in his interviews and not afraid to express his opinion. I think if things weren't going well in the negotiations he would say some along the lines that we are having trouble coming to an agreement. Based on past interviews with Johnson if he is saying that Saputo is wonderful to deal with I take him at his word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnipeg Fury Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I'm glad to hear Sutton will play in MLS, whether it be TO or another club. As much as I like and respect the Montreal organization, this will be a good move for Sutton and Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeta Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Very interesting show as far as I'm concearned. Missed it previously. Still no Sutton announcement but an announcement could (hopefully) just be a question of media timing. Seems like friendly matchs, and their gate revenue, have become part of the transfer fees for players/coachs in Canada. Not a bad thing, eh? Oooh. Bob got a full broadside in on Even, and the CSA in general once or twice there. Ha, got to love this guy even if you disagree. Great fun. Very good show and this one at least, a required listen for all Voyageurs who've got 3/4s of an hour to spare. P.S. No commercials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact have made an announcement - www.canadakicks.com Just a little addition- Spokesmen for Toronto FC said the club would have no comment on the story today but a press conference is being scheduled, likely on Friday, to announce a player signing.

Calgary Boomer Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 It's a good signing all around. The Impact get some cash, and they'll now be searching for a new number 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RealGooner Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Sutton was at the Pub Crawl at Scallywags last night with Reda, Buddle and Posniak. That was confirmation of his signing for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
