Gordon Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Obligatory "Suck it" post: Back in 2005, when MLS in Toronto was announced, I was vocal in my opposition to t he move. Even believing that there would be more value from MLS than was actually delivered, I did not think the obstacles MLS would pose to the development of a Canadian league was worth it. You know the reasons, as they were parroted back as to why CAnPL can't work by the folk who believe a Canadian league will never work. I believed, as I still do, that Canada wa stripe for a league in the decade, and was not at all surprised, although saddened, to watch a brach plant league capitalize instead. The one counter argument that I had to grudgingly concede was the absence of owners willing to step into the breach. To which my reply was, maybe not now, but what about in a decade? Well, here we are... I took a lot of abuse at the time - from a handful, by no means the majority - with some even feeling that private messages through Big Soccer (not available on this site) were an appropriate vehicle by which to make particularly nasty observations as to my intelligence, birthright and my apparently striking resemblance to body parts normally associated with procreation and/or bowel movements. This league has yet to play a game and has only two confirmed teams, but I think it now obvious that it's gonna happen. And it will be successful overall.

Ricketts has clearly torn off his jersey in disgust, and is trying to help Edwards remove his since he obviously shares the disdain for it. For the purposes of this thread, I don't think it could be any clearer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuillermoDelQuarto Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I wouldn't say this TFC post is directed at CPL, but I also don't think they're upset that Ricketts is lighting it up and Edwards is playing well, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shermanator Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 BOOM! Sources seconds ago confirm to me that Hamilton's first CPL manager will be none other than Hamilton Steelers and Hamilton Academical legend, COLIN MILLER! Miller was excited to make the move "I thought I might as well go for the Hamilton trifecta as a player, player-manager and now manager of Hamilton". It is also expected that Miller will sign Brazillian 5th division sensation Paulinho. When asked about Paulinho, Miller stated "Based on his YouTube videos, I'm absolutely certain this kid will be a start in the league." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Drunk thought while packing for my 2 day trip to Montreal: Someone involved with CPL should hire Kevin Hartman to run an academy. He's experienced and it would be a big fuck you to not only steal an academy director from the club but also to the league as he's their #1 appearance leader.

He's experienced and it would be a big fuck you to not only steal an academy director from the club but also to the league as he's their #1 appearance leader. He is currently head of the LA Galaxy girls academy, and has two young daughters playing there. He also turned down a position within the FC Dallas academy (which would have been an amazing stepping stone) to move back to LA. It would probably take a rather large sum of money to pry him from California. But I agree, all-time great MLSer with experience in two of the most successful academies in MLS? Sign me up.
