I don't think either, them as the reservist league or what you seem to be implying, is at all likely. BTW just curious for your thoughts on the recent concerns about the seeming lack of anyone in the pipeline to take over for Guzan and Howard. It seems there is a fair bit on concern over the way MLS handle goalkeepers and how they're trained in the US system. Is it well placed or is it being overblown?

There's been a fair bit of media and fan concern over the state of the USMNT goalkeeping picture as it seems there is no heir to the current top choices (who are all well over 30). The recent crop of MLS guys seem to some to be more error prone than they were in the past to truly step into the role. It's causing some to question if the overall approach the US has for keepers is working or not. It relates mainly because of yourself and a few others here who are pro-CPL as semi-part of the MLS system. So I'm just wondering if for you and the other's thoughts on this issue. Personally, I think it's being overblown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackTheBlizzard Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I don't know why we are going down this particular tangent so instead of going any further why don't we play rock and roll all over the former Yugoslavia: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid at least has spirit Anyways there was a brief blurb about the CPL today in the Brandon Sun. "....The soon-to-be-announced Canadian Premier League is expected to be sanctioned by the CSA as a domestic Division 1 league...." Not really news (no mention of sources so might just be the writer was reading on here) but I think it's the first non-soccer outlet to say the level of the league. The article is mainly about L1O and its grads. http://www.brandonsun.com/sports/breaking-news/league-1-kicks-off-ontario-soccer-season-offering-a-chance-to-rise-up-the-ranks-420755663.html?thx=y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Isnt this the guy that does the look at canada lose to "insert small country here" and look there are no fans watching, type of articles in the past?? I guess any kind of a soccer story that gets picked up and goes nationally is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is good, knows his stuff, and occasionally comments on this forum I believe. Not the guy you are thinking of. I remember the article you seem to be referencing, but don't remember who wrote it. It definitely wasn't someone as knowledgeable as Davidson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baulderdash77 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Halifax city council has killed several stadium deals in the past but they have all asked for public money. I think since SEA is putting up their own cash it would be difficult politically for Halifax city council to nix this deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansem Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Interesting scenario to think about regarding the 3 Canadian Clubs: It's year 2032 MLS capped their max teams at 32 teams Rich multi billionaires wants to join MLS but no spots are available except buying existing franchises They are all viable Hypothetical, Bill Gates (net worth $81B), Jeff Bezos (net worth $67B) and Mark Zuckerberg (net worth $55B) or anyone else in the ballpark are adamant to own a club. They offer Toronto-Montreal-Vancouver over $500M to buy and move them to the US With their expansion fees being between $10M to $35M initially, they could make a huge return The 3 clubs counters with : more cash + retaining their brands and identity. They sell for an insane amount of money They turn around and pay a much smaller expansion fee and uses their retained brands and Identities to join CPL If you're an owner, do you do it? How much would it take for you to sell and start over in CPL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
