El Hombre Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Fun lineup to start the season. Will tune in to see Saliba and any of those kids on the bench. Glad ZBG is getting some time. Kadenge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree but Saliba didn’t look like a replacement for Mihailovic and they generated little offence when he was on the first half. Rea did better but didn’t seem to have the same flow to them as last year. That being said, they had about 5 or 6 quality chances that on another day they would have popped a couple in. They probably outchanced miami even if miami overall had the better of the play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Rea and Choiniere came on they moved to a 3-4-1-2 with Rea in the "Mihailovic" role Perhaps. But Saliba was much farther forward than the other 2. Also, Mihailovic quite often played a similar role and only rarely played the role that Rea played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearcatSA Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Bad midfield turnover on the second goal (Choinière?). I also thought Pantemis should have been able to catch that cross instead of going for the flashy punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffian Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Looks like Pantemis could be out for an extended period of time.

Ansem Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 CF Montreal thinking of leaving Stade Saputo and build somewhere else because they view the status quo as "unviable" and the survival of the club depends on upgrading the venue or building a new one He wouldn't mind investing $100M in the current stadium but he doesn't own the stadium and doesn't want to pay municipal taxes on it. Also I heard that should the club move, the club would have to pay back the city portion of the stadium upgrades. Another drawback would be that Montreal would have 2 empty stadiums at Parc olympique... narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time its the club president Gabriel Gervais saying this. They aren't going to get a better deal. The city is willing to approve expanding Stade Saputo as their approval would be required but rezoning the area and stop collecting taxes just won't happen. He can stay, upgrade ($100M) and keep losing "lots" of money (over $12M on average) or build somewhere else a stadium that he would fully own and control or do nothing which could lead to Joey selling (keep losing money) Looks like downtown "Bassin Peel" isn't an option Edited March 9, 2023 by Ansem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bunch of this is just CF Montreal whining. On the municipal taxes, however - do they pay all the tax? Because normally it is the owner who pays the municipal taxes, not the renter. I get that the rent is set to reflect the reality of tax, but if CF Montreal is only one tenant, they shouldn't be responsible for all the taxes. They may have a point on that particular issue.

Saputo shared the info a few years back and it was over a million/year, closer to two. He got swindled by the city, and you can be sure the city will block any oppurtunity he finds to build elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red card Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) Peladeau was announced as the new owner of the Als with a press conference today. The 61-year-old was asked if he would be open to collaborating with CF Montreal, the city’s Major League Soccer franchise, and their ownership on a joint new stadium effort. He replied that he and the Saputo Family, who owns the soccer team, have a good relationship, and he’s open to having discussions. Or given CFM isn't on TVA Sports anymore and the CFL contract isn't up for renewal till 2025, he could be open to owning a Quebec CPL club & then show CPL on TVA. He owns 2 QMJHL teams. https://3downnation.com/2023/03/10/pierre-karl-peladeau-has-deep-pockets-with-new-vision-for-montreal-alouettes/ Edited March 11, 2023 by red card narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the money and loves his soccer...he could use the IMPACT name again to generate interest. He would also be able to move players between Balogna, CF Montreal and the CPL Montreal team.

An Observer Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 They lost 2-0 but definitely have improved all 3 matches. They dominated possession and controlled much of the game. They just need to be more clinical in the final 3rd. I expect that will come with greater familiarity as quite a few changes up top. Rea was better this match, especially in the first half. Shaffleburg had a brilliant finish to get his second. gator and toontownman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
