Most goes to Macron and retailer which could go the club if bought from their shop. Otherwise, monies would come from Macron if they made payments to be CPL's kit supplier and league HQ distributes an allocation to each club. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to remember that Adidas would pay a huge sum to have that deal, and then you have shirt sponsors. I think it is 90 million pounds a year for 10 years. Then your shirt sponsor is paying over 50 million pound a year. If you have a premium player then you will end up selling that shirt to the fans and the relatively small % is multiplied accordingly. It'd be fun to know which shirt is the best selling in the history of the CPL, club, and player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacific always has great deals for season ticket holders on their kits. 2024 kits are 50% off for season ticket holders...whereas Vancouver FC only offers season ticket holders 10% off. In addition, a 2023 kit was included with my Pacific season seat purchase this year. NVsoccer and Unnamed Trialist 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more CPL jerseys on backs the better for everyone. johnyb, Unnamed Trialist, jdheid and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillOnFire Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Steffen Yeates.... good little player, looked pretty dangerous against Valour. What do PFC fans think of him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_twelve Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I liked the progress he made over the course of last season. He played a lot of minutes but being the 4th midfielder on the team after Aparicio/Young/Toussaint he never really made a spot in the middle his own (even played outside right every now and then when Pacific went with a 4-4-2). As seen in the Valour game there were a few plays where he just didn't quite link up with Sellouf so a bit more polish will go a long way but I suppose you can say that about most CPL players. I think he's good enough to be a regular starter playing beside Young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's grown on me. I prefer him over Bahous or Lamothe right now, but I also want to see more of Reid and Tirco who have seen far to little of the field in my opinion Edited April 23 by Aird25 StillOnFire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red card Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Friend tells Times-Colonist that the club isn't for sale: “We did not make this investment to disappear.” “Soccer people in this country have screamed for years of the need for a national pro league,” said Friend. “Then right from the start there was negativity around it.” “We need investment in Canadian soccer like CSB. It is the catalyst to growth in this country. There have been a lot of misinformed people talking about it and we have not had the opportunity to defend it.” "Our league has never been healthier and is studying expansion strategies and new markets. It’s like any business. That [$125 million] represents a lot of investment that has laid this foundation, where none existed before.” The journalist may be reading this forum as he writes: The transition from local, amateur regional leagues to a proper Canadian soccer pyramid like other nations have has been painful to some in Canadian soccer who simply can’t accept the change. https://www.timescolonist.com/sports/pacific-fc-co-owner-insists-club-not-for-sale-and-defends-csb-deal-8605412 narduch, NVsoccer, yomurphy1 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie_the_parrot Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) Usual bizarre narrative that pretends MLS, FC Edmonton and the Ottawa Fury didn't already exist in Canada and that CanPL's business model represented the only possible approach for proceeding further from there. How exactly have they not had an opportunity to defend the CSB deal? Edited April 27 by Ozzie_the_parrot longlugan and Aird25 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_M Posted Tuesday at 04:31 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 04:31 PM (edited) https://pacificfc.canpl.ca/article/pacific-fc-and-bundesligas-vfl-bochum-announce-exclusive-partnership This pioneering partnership will span all aspects of the two club’s operations including potential for player transfers, player and coach development, and business and youth programming. On the football side, the clubs will meet regularly to collaborate on player development, scouting and recruitment. The partnership enables each club with the potential of using player loans to enrich player experience, both culturally and on the pitch. The knowledge and experience sharing includes coaching staff as well as innovation and technology that lead to enhanced player performance. Front office staff from both clubs will participate in shared industry knowledge across several areas including fan culture, matchday experience and marketing and public relations strategies. Like Pacific FC, Bochum has robust female and male youth programs. The partnership between the clubs represents an international opportunity for VI Wave players to go abroad, or players from Bochum, located in Western Germany, to come to Vancouver Island and attend Pacific FC’s The Football Academy at Shawnigan Lake. Both clubs will seek to create joint football events, such as football academies or school camps in support of players from both countries. The clubs will transfer their know-how in talent development to optimize the development processes in the youth sector.

Dominic94 Posted Tuesday at 04:37 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:37 PM This is going to be very good for Pacific. The battle for Talent in the area has just gotten more intense, but it’s for the best. If Bochum bring a player over over it’s because they are good. The Dallas and Bayern partnership really helped Dallas thrive on the academy side, I can see Pacific thriving now too.

Aird25 Posted Tuesday at 04:52 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:52 PM Cool partnership. Bochum have a link to a Japanese club as well. It's interesting that they mention the academy/youth development programs. Hopefully this leads to some good opportunities for local talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
