what the f*** is this shit?

I'd love to stop working and just watch sports all day, but the apple tv+ sub won't pay for itself, so I won't be watching.

Did he ask for a trade too?

I think the day is coming. It's gotta be depressing as hell managing CFMTL.

Not surprised. Sounds like there has been enough meddling from Joey and he's had enough. He probably had no issue with Choiniere's ask but Joey said no and that was the final straw.

CF Typical

 

[Scandale du Jour]

f***ing Impact. You can change the name, but you cannot change the clownish owner.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Saw it coming. First you lose the best coach in NA for a few 100ks and now the same is happening with one of your best players.

I'm sure the fact Choinière asking for a trade is what caused the friction. We'll surely get more details, but my guess is OR was willing to acquiesce to the trade request, but Saputo/Gervais didn't want that to happen, particularly since Choinière is their best homegrown talent they've ever had. And Saputo/Gervais want to salvage that relationship.

I think Nancy leaving had more to do with Saputo than it did Renard.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Good freaking luck finding someone better Jesus H. Christ... George Steinbrenner at least had his entertaining moments here and there, we don't even have a fun egomaniac owner, we just got the worst parts of it.

It thought it was finally the drama-less year.

Impossible with Joey.

This team will eventually be relocated.

 

[Michelangelo]

lmao

Both have more to do with Saputo. Renard is on board with Choiniere’s demands. The budget is not flexible.

Renard is stuck with his mistakes. There’s no margin of error.

Saputo is making it very hard to keep rooting for the team.

 

[Andrei79]

I don't know why I follow this team. I fully regret buying tickets this season.

I'm indebted to Saputo for bringing professional soccer to Montreal and eventually having them enter the MLS. But it really sucks when you have expansion teams coming in one after the other for years now with owners willing to spend money, particularly in player personnel.

They also invest in big stadiums, but I'm not too jealous of that because I actually enjoy the intimacy of Saputo Stadium. But working under Joey is probably how Dorion felt working under Eugene Melnyk. You're working at a disadvantage because of the internal budget.

 

[Pure Laine]

f*** Joey Saputo, you f***ing cheap dumb f***, sell the f***ing team to someone who is a competent leader and is willing to invest.

 

[LPHabsFan]

Renard is stuck with his mistakes. There’s no margin of error.

I don't even think for Choiniere it's a budget thing because of the amount of money coming off the books after this year. I just think he feels that Quebecois players should be grateful for having the opportunity to play at home and should therefore be on super cheap contracts.

There's probably a large element of "You have a club option so screw you I'm not renegotiating".

 

[Pure Laine]

Like, I don't mind if we have an owner who isn't shelling out absurd amounts of money but f***, signing Choinière and operating at max salary cap is a minimum.
