shermanator Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Looks like Montagliani is about to have a lot more lira, if you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ref Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 The man has dreams of grandeur, I must say. Hope he gets the backing from the rest of the Concacaf members. Wish him luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigi riva Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Getting the backing form some Concacaf members will not be easy, especially the Carabean zone I think most of those member's are still very loyal to the Old regime even though m embers of that old regime are in deep trouble and may see Jail time.

Lou Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 I think Montagliani is unlikely to win. Gordon Derrick, the current Caribbean Football Union President has also announced his candidacy. Derrick is most likely to win, in my opinion.

Lou Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 UNCAF are supporting Montagliani: So that's 7 votes. Presumably, Canada, Mexico and USA will support him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SthMelbRed Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 With Victor banking the 10 non-Caribbean votes, it'll be interesting to see how the other 31 votes break down. I'd be surprised if the USA-based Grenadan gets any votes. If the other Caribbean candidates split the region's votes somewhat evenly, Vic would only need to pick up a few more votes to get over the line.

1zzurri Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 7 votes, probably 9 or 10 is looking good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob.notenboom Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Are the US and Mexico votes that solid for Mont Vic? Although he's been working on the CSA-USSF relationship (apparently), it's a pretty complicated one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigi riva Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I am confident the Vic will get the votes form Mexico, The U.S. and the rest of Central America. But the Key is trying to get the Caribbean Nations on his side Especially nations Like Jamaica, and Trinidad . Who are the major Power Brokers in that Region.

baulderdash77 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 The 10 non CFU votes are very key. The CFU are very well aware that a lot of then vote buying has come from their area. Part of the corruption happens when you give tiny countries with very little wealth 3x as much power from a voting perspective compared to the power and money of the federation. Suddenly as they vote in a block that power becomes a magnet for vote buying. They also know that their voting block is tenuous at best. Without the financial support of the US their programs will not have any funding. They won't go against the US on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 If he presides the region then he'll spend less time dealing with specifically Canadian problems, don't you think? I mean, it may even be considered a conflict of interest if the CSA president defends Canadian equality in MLS or pushes for a Canadian league that could challenge US-based structures. Because otherwise, if you are arguing him being Concacaf president will benefit Canada on a sporting level or for getting international tournaments, you are basically saying he will be perpetuating the old corrupt system whereby power broking reaps benefits for your specific personal or national interests rather than the general good. Imagine a scenario where, maybe, Concacaf reffing will be better for us; however good at first sight that may be, it would also demonstrate that the system is as biased as ever, only then in our favour instead of against us.

Unnamed Trialist Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I'll go a step further: how can the guy presiding the only major CONCACAF nation unable to organize a national league pretend to be competent enough to take on a post of this stature? First, do your job competently and diligently, not just going with the flow; then, go off and raise your game, but not before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SthMelbRed Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 There are hundreds of reasons why Canada doesn't have a national football league. Placing the blame on Victor Montagliani for that, especially by someone who's been around as long as you have, is quite poor. By all accounts, the CSA has been on the right track since Vic became President, with enormous progress both on and off the pitch. There are no credible reports that he's been involved in the types of corruption that have plagued CONCACAF since the beginning of time. Having him as President would be a positive for Canada merely by removing the kind of crap that we've been on the wrong end of for too long. I don't believe that you're daft enough to think that creating a fair and level playing field, something that has been lacking for so long in CONCACAF, could be construed as a mark against Canada or Victor Montagliani. It makes me wonder if there's some other motivation for your unfairly disparaging comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 Rodrigues didn't get enough votes to qualify. Rodrigues believes that the favourite for the new presidency is Montagliani who “NAFU, UNCAF (the north and central American sub regions) and specific CFU supporters have quietly and efficiently put in a position to be the next President”. http://www.insideworldfootball.com/2016/03/17/rodrigues-exits-concacaf-race-issues-warning-caribbean/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackTheBlizzard Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Hope he gets the job, if only because some of his actions at the CSA level have appeared to me to be political moves rather than an attempt to genuinely push things forward. Some of the points he is raising actually make more sense on a concerted CONCACAF sort of level, so his talents might be better suited to the confederation level. For example, small Carribean islands will never have strong standalone professional leagues, but collectively they might be able to make it work like they do in cricket, if people think outside the box in narrow national association terms as Canada has traditionally done.
