Don't expect any kind of official announcement now about anything until March 10th. They never announce anything early.

Be patient.

I think it's safe to assume that has been pushed back.

Just to jump in on the Jozy discussion ...

I love him too, for everything he is and everything he's done, but at this point I really feel he should retire. It would be the noble thing to do.

Hope so. Though if he commits to the US internationally, I could see him trying for a big overseas contract.

The home kit is okay - though I've always hated monochrome versions of crests, and I always will.

The purple one is hideous.

Sweet. Finally.

Now we just need the date for the Can Champ final.

At least we have some actual decent rumours to discuss!

Well, hopefully they've got a bunch of unannounced stuff lined up already.

Maybe in a vacuum, but under threat of lockout, and where the league is bleeding revenue, it seems pretty good to me.

'Flat' for two years is a million times better than 'nothing.'

How would everyone feel if this year was a rebuild and it was all 'play the kids' to see who can be sold on?

I think the players came out of this pretty well – I mean, I don't even see what MLS gained from this deal other than 2 extra years of stability.

Looks like an armchair from 1963.

At this point maybe best to play it the weekend before MLS starts. That would give both teams time to prepare.

I love it. More games, more money, bigger squads, more competition.

BRING IT ON.

That's actually a good point. I hadn't considered that.

Sure, but every other team is doing something. We've done literally nothing other than downgrade our coach.

This is absolutely the worst off-season ever.

This has definitely been the quietest off-season I can think of.

Unfortunately you're probably right.

So is Rafa Benitez now.

Gee, if only we'd waited even longer! lol

Right.

This Ali bashing is getting a bit ridiculous. I'm not thrilled about Armas either, but we all saw that they were going after Blanc and then Viera. Armas, the third choice, is clearly,...

This doesn't make a lot of sense. Who said it would be for free?

They shared the Island Games with CBC, so obviously they were able to find some sort of financial arrangement that made sense for...

Yes, but they could have shared it like they did the Island Games with CBC.

Yeah, they should have played it in Hartford. They could have put it on TSN. I assume it would have drawn at least 100k viewers. Get some sponsorship. Would've been better than nothing.

Patrick Mullins is the new Rance Mulliniks.

Change my mind.
