FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Toronto – The Toronto Argonauts Football Club has issued the following statement following receipt of the CFL’s Feasibility Study on BMO Field:

“We would like to thank the Board of Governors of the Canadian Football League for authorizing a feasibility study on the potential of BMO Field as a home for the Toronto Argonauts. We accept the study’s main finding that while BMO Field is a fine facility, our unique brand of Canadian football could not be played there in its current state. In particular, extensive field measurements performed by a surveyor have indicated BMO field cannot adequately accommodate our game.

Our focus is now squarely on providing great game day entertainment in 2010 for our fans at Rogers Centre, a place we have been proud to call home for two decades. It is a first-class facility with state of the art media facilities, locker room facilities and technology. Our season ticket holders remain happy with Rogers Centre and its accessibility to the downtown core, as well as its indoor option in inclement weather. Rogers Centre is able to house our existing fan base and provides opportunity for future growth.

Our ownership now plans to reflect on its future over the holiday season and does not anticipate any further announcements until the New Year.”

NEW YORK (December 15, 2009) – The USA Bid Committee to bring the FIFA World Cup™ to the United States in 2018 or 2022 hosted members of its board (http://www.ussoccer.com/News/Federation-Services/2009/12/USA-Bid-Committee-Board-of-Directors-Meet-In-NYC-at-MLS-Headquarters.aspx) of directors today for a meeting at Major League Soccer headquarters in New York City.

U.S. Soccer President Sunil Gulati and USA Bid Committee Executive Director David Downs presided over the meeting to discuss the progress of the campaign and develop plans for the final year leading into the decision by FIFA on the host countries for the two World Cups at stake in December 2010.

“The meeting marks an important milestone for our bid as we now start the second and final stage of our bid campaign,” said Sunil Gulati, the Chairman of the USA Bid Committee and President of U.S. Soccer. “We are honored to have the ongoing support of our Board of Directors and thankful so many could take the time to meet with us today and engage in constructive dialogue about our bid. The diversity and talent gathered both in the room and on the phone will energize us as we move into the next stage of the bid process.”

Holden had already met face-to-face with Garber, who's trying to keep him from going to Europe. It was not a surprise to me.

SSG, shes mouth watering, i would wrap her and the east indian girl from yesterday around me and i would be the meat:hump:


Holden, who the f*** is Holden?:rolleyes:


Quick question, is Guevara, Robinson and Vitti holding up at a church in Toronto or what? are they leaving or not?

[deltox]

well it means he will play in MLS during the regular season...he will still go to europe in the offseason..



this also means the LA now offically have 2 DP's

You never know ... MLS simply makes the rules up as they go. Ruiz, Donovan and someone else (maybe Eddie Johnson?) all had inflated contracts over the regular max but they were grandfathered in under the salary cap.

Let's hope this means 2nd dp for everyone or at least more cap space.

Ben Rycroft has tweeted that Amado is gone:

The Honduran guy at my work just laughed at me - 'ya the Amado deal was done two days ago' - http://ow.ly/MPyv (http://ow.ly/MPyv)

According to him it's a loan-to-own deal - he is allowed to come back for MLS season but returns there when contract up here.

Toronto FC just confirmed the Amado Guevara departure to me - they will be issuing a statement shortly.
