Johnnie Monster Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 Maybe you'll get an answer when you actually attend a Whitecaps game instead of trolling here to push your rather bizarre agenda of misinformation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Boy Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 So if this contingency rumour does indeed become true does this mean that 2 teams will still be selected for 2011? Will Philly re-enter their bid? Do Vancouver and Portland become the front runners? Or will it be one east and one west with either Vancouver/Portland and Miami getting the nod? So many questions.

Guest Jeffery S. Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 At a Barça press conference yesterday on the subject they confirmed that they were not putting up a cent of the 40 million franchise fee, it was all Claure (who they say is the wealthiest "hispanic" in the States). Barça was going to put their "know how" into the franchise, basically run it, and use it to strengthen their brand and market identity in North America. They could not answer if the team would have the Barcelona or Barça name present, or the team colours. The proposal has come in for criticism by ex board members who argue that it is a risk for the Barça brand and does not add anything positive to the club, is not in line with its basic philosophy. I personally don't think those are the real risks: the real worry is if the franchise can be successful establishing a solid fan base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is MLS will take every franchise willing to pay the fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPjr Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 ^ if i had to guess, I'd suggest there will be announcements in about 3-4 weeks (whenever MLS types gather in St. Louis for their "Superdraft") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piltdownman Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 My guess is they are waiting to see if Portland can get their stadium improvements approved. I think they will find out in early March if the city will give them the money or not. My guess is they have a 'Plan A' and 'Plan B' in the days that follow city council making that decision.

Calgary Boomer Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 ^Yes, weeks ago. Interesting they chose St Louis for the MLS Superdraft. Hard to imagine they'd be there and announce that St Louis is NOT one of the 4 accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
