All the way up to Henry with Forge....several clubs need upgrades at keeper badly. Yup. Henry basically cost Forge a trip to Champions League last year against Arcahaie. I think Canada has bad depth at the keeper position in general. Even at the national team level the drop off is massive after the top 2 guys.

toontownman Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Interested to see how many of these guys end up playing in the proposed D2/D3 if it ends up happening next year. Seems some of the ex CPL players have joined L1 sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget if that was at the end of last season or the one before. That would fit with this and with the Faths not having been heard from in media quote terms for a very long time. You could say much the same for Carlo Baldassarra & the Greenpark Group where York United are concerned but I guess they were low profile even in year one.

Ansem Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Unlikely that CPL allows a club to fold - the league would most likely operate it until they can sell it. Plenty of examples such as CFL recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_M Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 said it over and over in the last few years that they needed new ownership...in the end fath simply walks away...another headache for the league...need someone who is willing to WORK and develop this club on and off the field...there should be good candidates out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of examples such as CFL recently A league operated club/franchise is exactly what Thomas Nef says has happened and he's got a reasonable track record and is from Edmonton so is likely to have very good contacts there. Wouldn't find that scenario at all surprising given the disappointing crowd levels for FCE after the 2000+ (?) season ticket pledges to save the team but still a bit concerning if groups can walk away this early despite the stated 10 year commitment made at launch. Can only assume any offer from OEG was viewed as too low for a share in CSB if this info is accurate, because even $1 would probably be a bargain to take it off their hands right now if it was only FCE that was involved.

Ozzie_the_parrot Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) I doubt it's information that the league would want in the public domain so vehement denials are not surprising. This would have been a lot more difficult to dismiss if the denial came from David Clanachan & co though. We have no way of knowing for sure either way at this point basically. This is where we would need our soccer journalists to ask the question directly to the people that matter during conference calls related to the playoffs but that's probably not a good move if they want to maintain access.

TheDoon Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 FCE needs a new stadium and in a new location. It doesn’t have to be anything crazy but it needs to be in an area with a younger demographic with disposable income. There needs to be an injection of something new here.

TheDoon Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Seems like these smaller teams likely see a benefit in merging their resources and talent to save costs. One advertising and marketing group, HR, event group etc. I don’t see how or where OEG is in any of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
