Richie potentially on the move. Curious to know which clubs have been in contact with him.

I feel he needs to give Europe another crack. Hard to believe how little opportunity Forest gave him.

Agreed. Hopefully he finds a place that needs him. Nottingham bought a whole new team in the summer and never really gave him a shot.

I haven't been watching this season, but someone claiming Richie is our MVP up to this point is very telling.

 

[robertmac43]

Well this is brutal.

 

[Tuggy]

Yeah sucks we won't see them...but this news is much worse. f***ing disaster...

 

[Satan]

jesus christ

 

[robertmac43]

Absolutely embarrassing... no wonder they are charging 60 to see our B team take on Guadeloupe..

What did they think would happen when they gave all of their assets to private interests in exchange of a quick cash influx?

 

[al secord]

What a nightmare

 

[robertmac43]

What annoys me the most is how this looks for future dual-nationals. Why would anyone commit their international future to Canada right now?

It's such a terrible look for this program that should be reaping the rewards of all the on field success.

Bontis and the board knew what would happen with that dirt cheap deal with the Canada Soccer Business, and most should be aware this was intentional. This is peak corruption happening in Canada, and this also occurs in other realms as well (telecom, energy, health care).

Now...Canadian soccer should absolutely be thriving in Canada. Enrollment has increased at the youth level, we have large stadiums that can be filled with people, and the women and mens national teams have enjoyed success (women have had success over the past 11 years). This is where ineptitude comes into play...Piss poor marketing and expensive tickets have led to crap attendance numbers and marquee friendlies and tournaments are not on cable TV. How the **** are you going to tap into the market if no one can watch these games???

 

[PanniniClaus]

I'm disgusted...

I would have liked to see Larin stay in one of the top 5 leagues. I guess the one bright side is he should be in immaculate form and confidence in Liga 2.

He'll be a great January transfer for them

Canada Soccer may need to explore bankruptcy as financial struggles mount

John Herdman encouraged Canada Soccer to "find solutions" as the organization admitted to having serious financial issues on Monday.

Well game today, not as excited as I once was with the recent news and the fact that this game does nothing for our FIFA points.

I'll get more fired up a game time. Should be a good test as I thought Guadeloupe were the best of the qualifiers.

I hope Herdman goes with an intriguing lineup. Mix in some of the younger players.

 

[robertmac43]

If anyone needs some supporter section tickets today's end me a quick dm

 

[Tuggy]

We've got some debuts tonight.

 

[PanniniClaus]

We've got some debuts tonight.

Happy to have some debuts for sure. Seeing Cavallini lead the line does not warm my heart. I love Junny so happy anytime he takes the pitch.

3 4 3 I assume.

Hoilett/Cavallini/Millar

Bombito/Osorio/Ahmed/Laryea

Miller/Vitoria/Tug McGraw

 

[Tuggy]

Lol come on...

 

[luiginb]

Lol come on...

Is Guadeloupe even FIFA sanctioned? haha

No.
