Usually when you say something someone says is inaccurate you would point out what is accurate so the rest of us will know. Since you decided to just lay out a vague statement on how business operates I figure you know about as much on this expansion as the rest of us do on how Manning & Curtis will address our roster issues.
Well to go back on topic regarding this, if MLSE are in fact planning on BMO expansion then the absolute dumbest move in a city like Toronto is to sell off the stars and run cheap for the next 3-4 years so attendance can drop like it did in 2011/12. And then expand the stadium. Unless of course they're feeling nostalgic about the 'roll back to year one prices' campaign.
The RPB message board is imploding into civil war. The TFC front office needs to get out ahead of this Jozy/Giovinco thing before we kill each other.
Curtis drove NYRB's transition away from DPs and towards the academy. What exactly happened at the end is a mystery.

The manager of that club, hired a month ago, is the longtime Iceland MNT coach who is a dentist. He had apparently been talking to the Whitecaps...
He is the 18th manager in 8 years.

Google translate version of the Vasquez picture article
So he's there until June 2020 it seemsAl Arabi announced today that it has signed striker Victor Vasquez of the Canadian club, who plays in the American league for a season and a half to support the first team of football club in the next phase. The player signed the contract to join the Arab this evening, in the presence of His Excellency Sheikh Khalifa bin Hamad bin Jabor al-Thani, president of the club. Vasquez began his career at FC Barcelona before moving between Belgium, Mexico and North America. Vázquez, 32, played in Barcelona's youth teams between 1998 and 2005 and was promoted to the second reserve team in 2005 and then the first runner-up in 2006 before joining the club between 2008 and 2010. He then moved to Bruges (2011-2015) and Mexico's Cruz Azul (2016) And the Canadian Toronto Co-League (2017).

It matters if he had the desire to be president and oversee the whole team's operations. With the new stadium and wealthy ownership it's almost like a new team and it will be all his to control and they weren't bad to begin with. There's a solid base there. Doesn't hurt that it just happens to be within driving distance from his house either.
If its only for 18 months,VV can retire and decide where he wants to coach - there with Xavi, in Belgium, in Spain or even here. I would not be surprised if Vasquez eventually comes back for a year or two some time next decade.
It's funny because I see people ragging on the situation and implying that leaving Toronto and going to Columbus as if it's a step down. He's a president of an MLS club, one that is about to build a stadium and one that has more history of success than us. Their pockets may not be as deep, but it's still a better role than what he had in Toronto. He's the top guy and he's doing it close to home. Seems like a good career move to me.
