Or was he just a passenger on the Victor’s ride. In my view I think he did jack... 2026 was victor’s baby. Also I truly believe the Americans needed Mexico and Canada to get the votes. Remember the Americans were hated on because of Trump during the vote. Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialK Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Mark Cohon made 500,000 a year ( 4 year deal) at the CFL. So I would think that would be the starting price for a solid executive to be president of the national governing body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the Americans were hated on because of Trump during the vote. Well Vic left in 2016 and the vote was in 2018. Regardless of whether you think you can accurately assess the mindset of all voting members Reed plaid a major part in negotiating the right to host. You can be critical but acknowledge the obvious otherwise you just come off as you normally do, like a troll.

That's the executive who is paid to run the CSA. President is technically a voluntary governance role who hires and fires the Chief Executive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ref Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 18 hours ago, SpecialK said: I would love to see Mark Cohon come in and run the CSA. He would be amazing. He’s a great business man, understands what the fans want and cares. What he did for the CFL was huge. also I would love to see some former players join the board of Directors like Karina LeBlanc , Carmelina Moscato or Julian de Guzman, Dwayne De Rosario or Craig Forrest. DeRo foundation seems to be doing amazing work. Isn't Jason De Vos part of the board or am I mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigzTFC Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) Just so we are clear the President and Board of Directors are volunteers https://www.canadasoccer.com/about-landing-page/board-of-directors/ Board of Directors The Board of Directors of Canada Soccer consists of a combination of elected and appointed members representing all facets of soccer in Canada who serve on a volunteer basis to guide the organization’s strategic objectives.

cronaldo7 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I know Nick from my time at McMaster (I was a Commerce student, he was head of the Commerce Faculty). This was about 14 years ago. We played intramural soccer together as well. He was highly competitive and had an incredible amount of energy. Just a great guy all around and I think we’re getting a guy with lots of charisma and enthusiasm. Unnamed Trialist and gator 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious did he not play for the McMaster university team, I remember him being a very good player, I think he was a striker from my days in coaching youth and men’s soccer and remembering him as a player.

gator Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I have hope that Bontis will be a very good choice as president, he has been involved with soccer for a long time at many different levels and obviously has a very strong business background! He has a son who has been involved with the TFC Academy set up as well and he has played the game himself, Nick also showed up to a couple of our Barton Street Battalion meetings before the CPL ever existed, a good choice IMHO! deschamp86, MM3/MM2/MM and baulderdash77 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a professor and ran the faculty. We were playing recreational football within the school. I'd assume he was in his 40's at that time.

Canada: Let's sell the idea of buying a franchise in the neighbor's women's championship to private investors. 7 hours ago, SthMelbRed said: If we can get an NWSL club in Vancouver or Toronto, and get a core of the CWNT playing together for that club, it'd be a great advantage for our ladies on the international stage. Wasn't that what was supposed to happen when we entered MLS? Roster Rules? At the end of the day, NWSL, just like MLS sets the rules, not us A clause that move said team to a Canadian league once it launches? If those questions were answered with a few "lessons learned" - I'll be the first one celebrating a NWSL club, otherwise you can't be surprised that going the same route as we did with MLS for the women wouldn't worry some fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
