Argos to BMO decision - Wednesday, May 20th

[GabrielHurl]

Babcock is coming to Toronto?

There's a press conference coming around 2:30 to 3pm

8 years deal

[OgtheDim]

And this news just got buried......

[barticusz]

A portion of the south stand is just going to be switched to a retractable stand.. not removed. That's what I understood. Same with North.

[billyfly]

Babcock to Leafs done. WOW

[TorontoFC6fan]

Yeah, Toronto is a joke. Not like Buffalo.

at lest the mad to the final in our life time.. when was the last time the leafs made it to the finals ?






I blame the leaf fans as much as i blame the management for supporting this GARBAGE!!!!

[TFC07]

I don't get this ownership deal? So Larry and Bell own Argos, but they're using MLSE resources?

[TorontoFC6fan]

It doesn't matter who coaches the leafs.. MLSE will still call the shots which will result in the team being crap..don't worry i'll be here to say i told you so.

[Red CB Toronto]

I don't get this ownership deal? So Larry and Bell own Argos, but they're using MLSE resources?

They would be providing management services.

[Areathrasher]

That is absolute hilarity

[TFC07]

They would be providing management services.

So what does mean exactly?

[GabrielHurl]

ticketing, merchandising, marketing etc

[TorontoFC6fan]

For the leafs to be good they have to do a complete rebuild and stop putting band aid's on the roster to make a quick buck .. They will never do a complete rebuild because they don't want to lose money.. This is why the leafs will for ever suck!!! where are they going to get that star player/ players ? you think they wanna sign here ? the leafs have tank and draft them..

[OgtheDim]

ticketing, merchandising, marketing etc

For a fee.

And less of a priority then MLSE properties.


I think the Rock do that, don't they?


Oh, and stop talking about the Leafs........

Interesting.

Yeah - I think they do - Brian Cooper was on with McCown last week and he outlined what those roles would be

[TFC Cityboy]

and conveniently the whole story gets buried . Man those fuckers at mlse are good

[carnifex2005]

For a fee.

Less of a priority? With a majority of the owners owning the property, I doubt it.

[billyfly]

Leafs leafs leafs leafs

[kwhisperer]

Leafs leafs leafs leafs

If TFC had any pride, they'd make the playoffs just to spite 'em!

[TorontoFC6fan]

That is why they sign Babcock for 8 years.

It doesn't matter who the coach is if he doesn't have the talent ? Are they tanking for talent ? no.. you guys think bobcock will magically make players without the ability become good.. A good coach is useful if he has the talent. This team doesn't have talent and i don't see how that will magically change when star players don't want to play here.. the leafs had good coaches in the past and How did that work out ? you have to have the talent! you think jose mourinho can magically make our national team into world cup contenders.. get real! they need to tank and stack up on high draft picks. tank for Matthews or puljujarvi and build from there. MLSE will add a couple players use the bobcock hype to sell tickets and the Leafs will be in the same position. .. The LEAFS have the most delusional fan base sports! I used to be a huge leaf fan until i woke up and smell the roses. MLSE IS NOT GOOD FOR SPORTS IN THIS CITY.

Less of a priority? With a majority of the owners owning the property, I doubt it.

Note who gets more air time tonight.

In MLSE land, it will be priority wise:

Leafs first

Leafs second

Raptors 3rd

TFC 4th

Marlies 5th

Argos 6th

[Red CB Toronto]

Babcock press conference scheduled for 11 a.m. tomorrow at the Air Canada Centre.

[OgtheDim]

This pretty much sums up what happened there

Matt Galloway ‏@mattgallowaycbc 20s20 seconds ago Argos: "Thank you for coming. Today we announce an historic..."
Leafs: "Ahem..."

Room empties.

It was ever thus.

I wonder if Babcock will be GM as well?

[Initial B]

This page just shows the power the Leafs have over Toronto. Hardly any mention of TFC or the Argos, which is the whole point of this thread! On a TFC message board!!

Believe it or not, but Raptors might become 2nd priority for MLSE because new TV money coming from US network.
