I say Ottawa embrace their partnership with l'Impact, embrace their identity as total outsiders, and focus on absolutely crushing CanPL teams in the V-Cup. Totally digging this vibe of league villain. It shouldn’t be a Fury vs the CPL. Everyone should want the league to succeed. It’s what is needed and best for soccer in this country. But it has to happen naturally and the league needs to be run properly. At this point it doesn’t look like that it is viable. Really hope it doesn’t completely flop.

Ottawafan74 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I hope it does become a strong league. But at this point I’ve heard it’s in complete disarray. The league should have waited another year. Doubt the Fury would be eager to jump into the CPL if it flounders.

Despite having signed partnerships with major kit maker, one of the largest car company’s in the world and a very successful media partner?

I've followed the Fury since their W-league and PDL days but feel they have completely screwed this one up. I’ve followed them just as long, in fact going back before that when Stu was coaching the women who eventually made up the W-league with South Nepean. Watched them play Pica’s boys team when they were national champs because they had nobody to play... hence they became the Fury. And I don’t think they screwed this up. CONCACAF and it’s leader created this mess. Bbeto, Ansem and BuzzAndSting 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A league in disarray would have repulsed Volkswagon and MEDIAPRO. Let's say for a fraction of a second I believe 10% of what you're saying and that CPL people have no clue what they are doing...their sponsor do and befor they put their brand next to yours, they do their due diligence, twice in regard to a new Canadian league.

Ottawafan74 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 USL isn’t booting them out and CONCACAF won’t try and force them again in the future. So if the CPL is crapping the bed, what’s their incentive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
