Don't worry, me being the only one to believe one thing is a good sign as history shows...Funny that once again, you're alone in your make believe logic and you're the only one to tell me this.
The key word in that post was "up until now". Academies take time, there's no rushing things. Mathieu Chouinard was our 1st player EVER to got threw the whole thing and sign with the club. To cut spendings on the academy is to cut funds in the team's future potential succes, period. Why cut when your U-19, U-17 and U-15 teams are all dominating competition?
They have to invest for more for top quality coaches, not less. More and more kids play the sport now, so the curve of promotions to 1st team will go upwards in the next couple years.
Folding FC Montreal was also a very costly mistake. Guys like Meilleur, Choiniere brothers, LBG, Clement Bahiya, etc are spare parts in Ottawa and have minimal contact with Impact management.
If Saputo wants to talk about cutting spendings, stop overpaying marginal players year after year.
First I have no clue who the heck is Mathieu Chouinard? Our first player to what?? Get your facts right before saying anything and the funny part is you still got sheeps.
Academies don't cost much in all fairness, it's pointless to break it down like that because it's already set. I'm sure if Garde would come out and say that he was behind the idea of cutting funds for the academy to focus more on the Senior side you would all be bowing saying ',good move coach'
This team will need a reserve team at some point. I rather have a grrat team over a great academy. You can find extremely talented players anywhere in this province. Just gotta find scouts. Cutting a few millions wong stall players development. Can't be that naive. Back in the days there were no academies in MLS and you still had solid players. Next.
