Watchmen Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 1 hour ago, Aird25 said: Why not? He started the vast majority of their games he was available for Because he's shown no progress over a number of years and isn't close to the main roster. If your point is WFC2 might miss him, sure. Maybe. But organizationally they won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie_the_parrot Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 ...which is probably why they are happy to loan him out to that pygmy thing over in Langley. The optics of taking a Next Pro player on loan kind of begs the question why this glorified crew couldn't just have been a Whitecaps affiliate in the first place and maybe that's the point of the exercise where the Whitecaps are concerned.

Big_M Posted August 4, 2023 Author Share Posted August 4, 2023 so is he the staff member who was rumored to have left after a bust up with ghotbi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie_the_parrot Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Think that's a safe assumption. Ghotbi probably wanted to be able to hire his own staff rather than have the likes of Gage and Neely around who are part of a Canadian soccer good old boys network and would not necessarily be loyal to him as somebody coming in from outside once the going got tough. Nothing unusual there. In Europe, it's normal for top managers to have a complete staff that follow them from club to club so they are surrounded by people they trust.

Watchmen Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 And when you have a record of 3-4-10, you have to back that manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpursFlu Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) I really hope they change the name to Valley FC Valley Eagles sounds amazing People seem to slag off what they see on TV. But keep in mind they have stands down each side line when other teams either don't have 2 stands or leave one side empty. So people get pushed together. Trust me, if you're at the game it feels like a pretty solid little atmosphere. They would definitely like to do a bit better but lets get real. The team is in last place and had a couple embarrassing results. I think 3k is a very achievable sweet spot for now Edited August 7, 2023 by SpursFlu Tigers, RJB and jonovision 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah but they already go that V thing going which really works. As someone who lives here I think its great. Fraser Valley sounds a bit too technical Just get rid of the Vancouver.

BearcatSA Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 In the article, Friend somewhat alludes to stuff that have talked about with posts about the competition for the summer recreation and entertainment dollar in this particular economy. I will get down before season's end to watch a match in Langley to see for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
