poll needs an option in question 2 that correlates with not wanting bontis fired, as it is only options on question 2 assume you want him fired from question 1.

Great point ! I missed that ! Sorry I honestly don’t know how to edit, if I could.

If you want Nick Bontis as President- vote someone else and add his name to the comments 

[Tim Pinos]

We need a proper manager not a hack.  

[SpecialK]

Scott Mitchell- head of the CSB and Hamilton T-Cats

Craig Forrest- CSA Player Legend

Ralph Krueger - Former Chairman - Southampton FC - former NHL and International Head Coach- Member, Global Agenda Council on New Models of Leadership, World economic forum

Karen Brady - Vice Chair of West Ham United FC - UK House of Lords, wife of former CSA player Paul Peschisolido

Mark Cohon - Former CFL commissioner ( arguably one of the best) - former McDonald’s Canada executive, chairman of the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences

Think the bigger issue than Bontis may be that they gave Cochrane the paid General Secretary position. That is a fucking joke. 

I'm still on team #BontisOut

For me I want someone who has a vision and plan, someone who can relate with the players and work with them, someone who knows business and the media. 
i do believe the President position needs to be a paid position. They are head of Sports Organization. The number ? I don’t know

I think Mark Cohon or Ralph would perfect for the role

Mark- he helped Grow the CFL - got the TSN tv deal, guided the CFL through 2 labour negotiations. He worked with sports marketing at the NBA. Was at Macdonalds. He’s great with the media. But not a soccer guy that we know of.
 

Ralph - he knows how to handle players, becoming a chairman of a premier league team, ran it for 5 years. Understands European football. Part of World economic form- smart guy, understand business and football business

President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho

[Stryker911]

In the future I would think Atiba simply for the respect everyone has for him, but maybe just as a board member not the president.

Will throw out another name. Tesho Akindele. He is a respected MLS veteran and was a sought after dual. He has also completed a degree in engineering, and I believe is working on a masters degree in finance. He is likely looking for career opportunities once he is retired from soccer.

Not sure who to think of as an adequate replacement. I think some of the names brought up are interesting, but a lot of them I look at as lacking the wholistic set of qualifications needed to be a good federation president. They may be good at one angle but lacking in another.

One candidate that could be an interesting one could be someone like John Chayka, former Arizona Coyotes GM who most recently has been involved in trying to purchase Saint-Ettiene in Ligue 1 and Standard Liege before that. Before some shady things occurred with the Coyotes, he was widely regarded as a unique mind due to his innovative thought processes and use of analytics. He's young enough that he could serve for some time, he has experience in management, and clearly has an interest in soccer.

300 views and around 35 votes. Come on guys and girls. It’s not the Ontario election here. It’s more important!!! It’s the CSA gong show people !!! Get your vote in !

Zero love for a Karen - interesting 

[Wippersuna]

A lot of West Ham fans would love you to take Karen Brady but I’m not sure that’s a ringing endorsement.

You left out noted soccer genius and top forum ban-hammer-magnet, Robert.

Very interesting he did sign all the big names to TFC. 

[Rougeisthecolour]

I have been thinking for sometime that Ralph Krueger could be a good fit.
