Meanwhile TFC II got their asses handed to them in USL while TFC III was a very good L1O team. For the last time (just speaking about me personally), if you want to follow Canadian soccer, post about Canadian soccer. If you are just here to push your anti-American agenda (as all evidence points to thus far), push off. Ignore is a wonderful feature on this Board. I suggest you add him to that.

Watchmen Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Is the CPL commissioner still doing his "biweekly discussions" or was that a one-off dealing with the Ottawa situation and it never actually happened again? I never check the CPL website, but never seem to see any mention of them here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackTheBlizzard Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 21 hours ago, Rocket Robin said: ... http://www.rocketrobinsoccerintoronto.com/apsl12.htm interesting story that these Toronto team owners had to support the sick franchises in Houston and Atlanta during their run... The possibility that is also mentioned of an MLS team in Toronto playing at the Rogers Centre at launch that seems to have unravelled the Rockets ownership group is a forgotten footnote in Canadian soccer history but Alan Rothenberg visited Toronto several times to try to make it happen. He also negotiated with the Saputos in a Montreal context, but they steered clear as they didn't like the businessplan. Dale Barnes used to always have the ins8ide scoop on that.

PhillyJawn-guy Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Simple. Just demand the 3 teams move to CPL within a time frame or the CSA pull their sanctioning. Canada is getting a real league so there is NO NEED to continue to be part of that gimmicky pile of raw sewage that the rest of the soccer world ridicule. Wake up, guys. Canada DOES NOT need MLS; CPL will be better quality and more respected! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillyJawn-guy Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) With CPL up and running, does Canada still need MLS?

rob.notenboom Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 In an interview on the CanPL app, Jeff Paulus confirmed that his squad will be 22 or 23 players. FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Guess it could be worse if true. We all hoped for more but maybe this is realistic and more sustainable long term while the league gets off the ground. That said, I've lost track of the amount or times the people in the know have confirmed the salary cap. shamrock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopherbashi Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Honestly, the most interesting part about that tweet for me is "will very likely be". The season's only four months away; you'd think they'd know what the salary cap "will definitely be" by this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I presume will very likely is more with regards to Duane not being sure or not 'technically' being allowed to spill the beans on this versus the cap not being set. I don't see them signing players without first setting a cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpursFlu Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) I think it woild be tough to define a salary cap when your still working thru all your major revenue streams I havent seen a single sponsorship deal, media, season tickets etc etc Its probably a moving target at the moment so why set an exact number. Especially before the transfer window when a majority have moves and higher paid players will start to enter the picture Edited December 11, 2018 by SpursFlu toontownman and Bbeto 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If accurate, the obvious question is whether this number includes the coaching and front office staff or not given that would explain why some people say $500k and others $750k.
