Impact thread - Saputo n'est pas Briand Edition

[Pompeius Magnus]

f*** everything

 

[Paul Dipietro]

So... Valencia?

 

[HuGo Sham]

got an interesting take from Noel Butler yesterday. He said it's Briand's agent's fault for not negotiating with an understanding of how MLS works, and the 'back deal perks' that go on to enhance contracts

 

[Adam Michaels]

So no Briand, no Adi, it seems. No Legault, either. Valencia is recycled news from a month ago. No update on Acosta.

At least Fisher's and Diallo's returns will feel like summer mercato acquisitions. But we know they're not.

I still believe the team is on the right track. But if we look at this summer transfer window exclusively, unless something big comes along in the next 6 days, IMFC failed.

I think it's the most likely scenario. It doesn't absolve IMFC entirely. But from an outsider's point of view, it seems like it's Briand's agent's fault.

CB is arguably the only position where we do not need that much help. Unlike EVERYWHERE ELSE

IMFC were on a really good run. With additional help up front it could've been "storybook" (and yes I'm using past tense)

 

[Krnage]

come on IMFC.... we cant finish the season with Mancosu as stricker

 

[JunglePete]

So... Valencia?

Yes please,even if we know it'll never happen

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Gosh, at this point, NDS should organize open try-outs for the striker job...

 

[Luigi Habs]

We were told during off season that it's difficult to convince good players from europe when they're in the middle of their season. We were told to wait for the summer.

Summer mercato closes in 6 days and there's no sign of any signature whatsoever.

Kill me now

Kill me now

Singing the company song, told to stfu by head cheese, we pay you, blablabla...No players? Rémi will make it his mission until the end of the season to show off the lack of talent and depth like he did earlier on. And I take bets that he and his staff will quit after all is said and done.

Bush league team owner that should sell to a conglomerate. Only way this oeganisation will survive.

Disgraceful.

 

[Stanley Cup]

Classic IMFC. Mancosu as main striker for a whole season, bahaha.

 

[Luigi Habs]

Why is IMFC communication department absolutely terrible?

They announce Briand is coming to sign before making sure it’s actually done.

Then they declare that he won’t sign but a replacement will be announced soon. And now they’re preparing us for no signing.

Never seen such incompetence.

Don't blame the messenger. In this case, the press release was vetted by someone. I don't blame the comms people. I blame management.

That's surely how you establish a solid long term relationship with your supporters, makes them wanna cheer for you even when you're absolute garbage.

IMFC should bring back the FC Montreal for the Canadian Premier league

 

[Skip Bayless]

I don't think CPL wants that. FC Montréal was a huge failure in USL, nobody went to see the games even when free.

 

[Adam Michaels]

I would be fully on board with this. Everything points to Ottawa Fury FC leaving USL and joining CanPL. For all we know, IMFC may still continue a partnership with them.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Looks like a good turnout downtown to meet some of the players. Fanni and Piette are there.
