yothat2 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 This international rule is stupid. Have 25 - 35 year old internationals is good for the league Better locker room, can provide guidance and leadership, international exp With this rule..just becoming an MLS next CDNFootballer, NVsoccer and Cheeta 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeta Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I get the theory, its a selling league right, but age limiting quality does feel a bit counter-productive. Coddling. Not helping your developing assets any by making things easier on them. Whatever improves the field of play improves development. Doesn't seem that complicated to my mind. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I don't think I've weighed in on the playoff debate. I don't understand the people saying this devalues the season. First off, there will be a trophy for the season winners starting this year. There will be a Champions League spot for the league winner this year. Secondly, the advantage from 5th to 4th to 3rd to 2nd to 1st is bigger than any other year, with the exception of the playoff cut-off line I suppose. Sure, the 5th place team gets in the playoffs now, but they need to win 4 straight away games to win it all. The 4th place team needs to win a home game, then 3 straight away games to win it all. The 3rd place team needs to win a home game, then 2 straight away games. 1st and 2nd get a second chance if they lose their first game. They only need to win 2 games in a row to win the title, and they are allowed to lose their first game. If you are in 5th there is motivation to move to 4th. If you are in 4th there is motivation to move into 3rd, etc. It's a bit different, but honestly I got used to this type of page playoff from watching curling with my dad. I got over the quirkiness of that 20 years ago. dyslexic nam, johnyb, MtlMario and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 As for the salary cap increase, it just gives me a good feeling. Team minimum increased by 15% Team maximum increased by 21% Technical staff minimum increased by 21% As for the U23 rule for internationals, I don't like it, just because it's over prescriptive. If one team thinks it's more beneficial to have experience from their internationals, fine. If another thinks it's more beneficial to have young internationals for selling them later, fine. I don't feel really strongly about it, but fewer roster rules for me is generally better. Domestic quotas I am on board for, and I'm OK with youth player requirements for domestics, but other than that I don't need more rules. I'm OK with a salary cap for now since the league is still precarious, but in general I don't like them (I wish the NHL and MLS would get rid of theirs).

Ozzie_the_parrot Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 My guess would be David Norman Jr because no work permit would be needed and it would explain why he didn't sign with Vancouver FC. NVsoccer and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie_the_parrot Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Would be a strange timing where transfer windows are concerned for a player currently under contract to a CanPL club, but if its someone who was already out of contract as a free agent during the last transfer window in England back in January my understanding is that they can still be signed by a League 2 club outside the window. Think that applies to Norman but not the two you mention but we'll see what happens though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aird25 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I'm not sure how I'd feel about this. Even with only their operations in Canada I feel they may be stretching themselves too thin already. There seems to have been a drop off in focus towards Pacific recently. Particularly in off the field activities. https://northerntribune.ca/huddersfield-town-takeover-sixfive-sports-speculation/ Goal_Kick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The initial investment was great and I'm extremely thankful for it, but it seems to have been reigned in a couple notches. I understand the group has big ambitions, but the Vancouver team seems to have pulled resources from Pacific already, and I'm scared to think what buying a Championship club across the pond might do.

Boominbooty Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 They’ve been actively looking at clubs to purchase in Europe to a. Make money and b. Create a pathway for their Victoria and Vancouver players. I understand they have looked at England, Austria and I believe Portugual. Covid hammered a lot of clubs and so there are plenty of owners happy to sell at a reasonable price.

Atlantic Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Starlight have billions of dollars in real estate. How much they have in cash is hard to say but I don’t think owning an EFL Championship side is out of the realm of possible. Also got to factor in Shillington has deep pockets Ansem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
