But we seem to have conflicting info here with what @Unnamed Trialist is saying. Again, i would find it odd that someone would buy a ticket in advance and wait for a refund knowing that there is chance that you might not get a full refund. or even when you will get a refund. I guess it comes down to what is meant by "no deal for families". All I know is that the family member I sat beside on the flight down didn't have a negative thing to say about the situation and the feedback after the fact was that the families thought the CSA went above and beyond in accommodating them. That's my recollection. johnyb and Sal333 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my recollection. can confirm, as im reasonably close with a family of a player who was on the roster, CSA was very accommodating and covered a large majority of costs johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You believe so hard as a kid, its magical and you'll run through walls for Santa Herdman.....then your stupid cousin explains its your Dad who buys the presents and Santa is fishing around for a job with NZ and the illusion is gone, the magical brotherhood just isnt the same. You dont hate Santa or your Dad, but that special thing you had is just a boring old normal trip to walmart for presents. Its not the magical thing you thought it was and next time you sit on his lap at the mall you dont buy his phony HO HO HO routine anymore. Your analogy is somewhat complex but I think it might explain the spoiled milk and hard cookies that are always out around my place at the holidays. gator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how you and I differ: as soon as someone sits down next to me on a plane I turn to them and say "So tell me, how much do you make per annum?"

There are plenty of fans on this board that aren't related to any of the players and considered the opportunity of going to Qatar to be an unmissable event. I'm sure family members with their son, brother, or husband playing in the World Cup thought it was unmissable as well, even if they had to pay their way. Doesn't sound odd at all to me, even if they would be miffed at not getting it paid by the CSA. dyslexic nam and red card 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, well, back there in steerage we play a slightly different game. Job, no-job. No job. No job. Hospitality industry. Construction grunt. No job. Pensioner. Medical transfer. Student.

Unnamed Trialist Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 The CSA made an initial offer for family tickets and travel, which wasn't accepted. The strike cited needing a "comprehensive friends and family package". But no such deal was formalized before traveling. Most family and friends advanced everything, pending the CSA deal. Which was? If a dad or brother or wife was the one designated to benefit from the CSA minimum and flew happily to Qatar, which is what some are saying they think maybe happened, it doesn't negate the fact that most, all except the minimum, fronted everything or close to everything.

Without a deal you’d have to think families paid their way, maybe hotels were more straightforward . They had their own section in the Canada house and I assume enjoyed free access food and drinks.

gator Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Click bait and it worked, I will say there is zero chance Leeds who are in a relegation battle take a chance on a coach who is unproven at the club level, too much $$$ at risk here! narduch, johnyb, Greatest Cockney Rip Off and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) He rejected Leeds because his daughter sang that "you're such a loser dad" song to him and he saw the light.

There is evidence Ancellotti was trying to get Herdman a job in England so Carlo could take John's job back in Vancouver. Mind you most if not all of this evidence I made up.

dyslexic nam Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I just don’t understand the sort of hyperbolic responses to the mere idea. Most people who mentioned Ancelotti weren’t marching in the streets to get Herdman ousted. And it isn’t like people thought it was a given that we could ever attract him. It was merely an idea, fueled in part by CA’s own comments, and in part by Herdman’s recent dalliance with NZ. The concept on its face doesn’t appear entirely ludicrous - at least to me. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo would semi retire to Vancouver for a million a year and the CMNT. Retire in the sense of pulling back from club football. dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJB Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I was just looking at our list of managers for no good reason, and I think that Herdman is - or is on the verge of becoming - our longest serving manager. canuckgbp, johnyb and narduch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
