[flatpicker]

borrrrrrrrrrrrring!!!

Saputo the mafia is not going to get a MLS team, period! Eugene M will get one in Ottawa before Saputo. Montreal can stay in a shite league.

Hey thats all here say


Saputo makes the best bococini I must say

The Saputo bid has issues, but unless you have a link or evidence, the above comment is a smear.

The main issues are (i) the Expos, and (ii) the fact that it's not Saputo the company, but one of the sons of the controlling shareholder, who is bidding. It's unknown what Joey's personal net worth is, but he's not Mark Cuban in terms of his ability to underwrite this thing. George Gillett, that's different.

Nash is joining ownership group, Vancouver is applying for MLS.

That's it? That's the announcement? What a waste of a press conference! Thank you Mr. Obvious!

[GrimsbyTown]

So that means yesterday as Steve Nash passed by outside the stadium, I should have filled his ear with some "Who are ya's!!, or some "This is OUR house! blasts".

lol

Its all good and well that you are Canadian and play BB for Canada, but you are not playing on the MNT, AND you are part owner of a Canadian rival team...

Haha .... exactly what I expected. Not surprising though. Could not have been anything else.

Vancouver just updated their website with the headline Bring MLS to Vancouver at the top of their page with an article included confirming their intention to bid.

Should be a slam-dunk: they have thundersticks

[Jack]

Thundersticks....

Someone please shoot me.

I ain't digging up the link, I'm about to go eat, but when Montreal submitted their expansion proposal they didn't quite offer the asking price for initial franchise fees.

With all these cities chomping at the bit for two spots, such negotiating tactics may bite Saputo in the ass.

Saw Steve Nash in Garber's box for the game. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

Ha Ha, don't knock 'em.

I had a great time with them when they handed them out last year.
