Just to be clear, that was all tongue-in-cheek. Just saying, be careful what you ask for. I’m a believer in leveraging technology, but cautiously. Officiating decisions should be immediate and permanent. Perhaps the answer is, like basketball, get more officials on the field. PS: For those that watched the Man City - Spurs game today, perfect example. Why the hell is a PK being called 30+ seconds after the referee allowed play to continue? If technology isn’t helping refs make those decisions live, then put more refs on the pitch or let the damn game go. Sorry, rant over. And totally off topic.

BuzzAndSting Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 He goes on to say it’s not or he doesn’t know of anything related to the following; - not salary cap - not women’s league related - not the schedule - not a new sponsor - not V cup - not Quebec City or Laval - not a signing - not a coach - not Roma related The only thing it seems it could be is a One Soccer channel. Or that he doesn’t even know what it is, just that it’s a big thing coming. IAmPappy, ted, Winnipeg Fury and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Mediapro had a hand in brokering the Atlético deal, and they recently bought rights for the French league and, as announced last year, CPL will be shown on their French channels (as filler content, clearly), we should not be surprised if they have also brokered some kind of deal with a French club and CPL.

Ozzie_the_parrot Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Only other one I can come up with is playoffs, if that doesn't fall under schedule. On expansion K/W, Saskatoon and Fraser valley don't seem to be excluded as possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red card Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Nef replied in twitter thread he doesn't know anything about a tv deal.

I'm writing about this so yes, MediaPro did help making this happen by introducing CPL to Atletico Madrid owners right after the MediaPro deal was done in Barcelona. Madrid was interested in an expansion into CPL for months but it took the Fury folding to pull the trigger with Jeff Hunt. Very possible that the same was done with a French club...like Lyon Unnamed Trialist and IAmPappy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaFan123 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 One thing he did let slip was that we shouldn't expect a Women's league until at least 2026. Not that it's a big surprise ... personally I'd be more surprised at a women's league than promotion-relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzAndSting Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Looks like Nef has deleted the tweet. So either it was nothing and he felt bad for trolling or it was something so big he was told to kill it. ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Fuck TSN. They picked up the XFL but arent interested in the CPL. The might have some sort of gentleman's agreement with the MLS to be fair. Best case scenario for me is growing that relationship with CBC and getting w game of the week live every week on CBC tv and a soccer night in canada weekly show. CBC reaches more people than TSN or Sportsnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 ^^^This. A GAME EVERY WEEK. Regular, so people know....like super soccer saturday in the olden times.....every weekend a game with Forrest and Sharman doing a 30min weekly show/primer before hand. How much would they have to pay Onesoccer for that?? Stouffvillain, NVsoccer, Zem and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy just loves to grasp at straws. This project has always been about the love for the international game. That quote about Atleti joining and embracing the international soccer community is nothing new. BuzzAndSting, Bison44 and ted 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stouffvillain Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Clanachan is on the latest Footy Prime Podcast with Sharman, Dichio and Dunfield. A lot of good dicussion on the league here and insight into the mind of the league. Foreign ownership, broadcasting, loans and more is discussed. I don't see it on Youtube yet but it's on Spotify, iTunes etc. right now. CDNFootballer, Bison44, CANMNT_SUPERFAN and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie_the_parrot Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 https://northerntribune.ca/canadian-premier-league-mls-loans-2020/ ...In our first season, some teams had some players come on loan from some of the MLS teams in Canada. We’re seeing the same thing happening here again with the second season, that’s already there. We’re trying to establish some standards around it, because what you don’t want is players being pulled back early, you’d like to keep them for the season. If they pull them back, maybe potentially they’d keep them at that point in time, because you can’t have them in-and-out, because you’d start to establish a different type of league, and that’s not what we’re after. We’re working through it with the owners... DrummingInMySleep and johnyb 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeta Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Season long loans or bust. Simple as that. Oh, and by season I mean playing season, the calender year.
