British media blistering it's palms over rumours that Liverpool's Steven Gerrard is coming to Toronto. Multiple sources.
I hope it's not true. Not because I don't like Gerrard, although, by Gawd, he does look tired and jaded.
No, I dislike the idea that expectations will once again be kicked into unrealistic levels. And the cynic in me sees this as a convenient mechanism to justify raising ticket prices. A more sensible but less glamorous signing would not generate the buzz-driven leverage MLSE need to bump ticket prices.
Does this have something to do with why stadium construction has made such little visible progress?
