Perhaps CONCACAF's decision isn't based solely on Ottawa's situation, but simply on reasonable interpretation of the rules. In all honesty, CPL's existence does terminate the 'exceptional circumstance' which allowed Ottawa to compete in the USL in the first place. I don't see any way around that.
Maybe that's why the Fury made such a concerted effort to slight CPLs budget. An apparent gulf in salaries could be used as an argument for exceptional circumstances

This makes the decision to not join CPL in the first place that much more baffling. I just don’t get it

Why Vancouver over Europe?
I watch Vancouver, and I’d like to see more of him. I know many worry about players developing in MLS, but I’m selfish and want to watch our players play. Also, I think he’d make a perfect replacement for Davies, and he’d get a real chance to up his stock in Vancouver. I think it would be good for the player, the club, and the fans.

I'd bring him to Vancouver on loan.

It would be great to have Montgomery in Victoria, but I imagine he’ll try his luck in MLS

Surely he’s trolling the board and doesn’t actually believe what he’s saying. He’s incredibly committed, but completely unreasonable. I wish everyone would stop engaging him

Going forward I’m guessing he’ll be played in whatever position he ends up playing with Bayern. It would be bold of Herdman to do otherwise

Aird is having himself a brilliant season btw. Albeit, as a midfielder, in the Scottish Championship.

Not a clue. Anyone we talked to was being very cagey. Rob Friend seemed to have some names on his mind and I think James Merriman did too. I couldn't pick a player to save my life, which is why I don't coach. LOL
Everyone seemed surprised by the number of international attendees. I was hoping the coaches might have let more slip behind the scenes.

Friend, Simpson, and Silberbauer all have experience at high levels of the sport. There's no guarantee that will translate into on field success, but for me they appear to have a leg up in that department. I don't think that's any less important than early membership numbers, as on field success is the surest way to sell tickets.

I think they're setting up to be a weaker team in the league on a permanent basis
That's an incredibly bold prediction.

‘Hope’ is not related to stadium approval in Sask at all. Stadium solution is sorted.
Would you care to elaborate?

If it's a choice, I'd be happy if we focused our efforts on the footballing side of things. Winning is the best advertisement.

To me, this is just a trend. Pacific & York9 excluded, maybe, aren't we seeing development coaches across the league? I think that's a good thing, and likely speaks to the 1.0 era being about catching those kids who were falling (or not falling) through the cracks of our system.
Our assistant, James Merriman, has been very involved with development in BC.

Just check out this depth from M-CF! (Some players listed twice as they are versatile)
CF: Cavallini, Larin, David, Ricketts, AJH, Akindele, Hamilton
W: Hoilett, Davies, Tabla, Millar, Edwards, Akindele, Fisk, Telfer
AM: Osorio, Arfield, Tabla, Chapman
M: Arfield, Piette, MAK, Tiebert, Osorio, Wotherspoon, Fraiser
I am sure that I missed some guys like Hutch for example. It is crazy how we have guys playing in decent leagues like Wotherspoon and he isn’t a shoo-in starter, not to mention not even getting subbed in against USVI.
Sneaky Ben Fisk addition.

This.... Ive been watching every Cardiff game, because of Hoilett.... And my God does he doing a lot of tracking back. I've barely seen him get on the attack, so it's definitely something he could do.
Cardiff give up so much possession. He's had to do a ton of defending this season.

With Tabla in the mix, our best 11 and formation is now totally up in the air. Its a versatile team with many moving parts. I can't wait for the Gold Cup. With this team, and our deep bench, anything is possible.
-------------Cavallini----Larin
-----------------------Tabla
Davies------Atiba-----Arfield-----Hoilett
------DeJong----Henry----Jakovic
----------------------Borjan
I think Osorio has earned the start until Tabla can take it from him

Davies is our star. Let's get him as many goals, assists and caps as we can. Promote the kid. That's how the game will grow.

How burned would you say that bridge is now?
I only speak for myself but I’ve gone from cheering for them from afar, to hoping the CPL owners target their players and fans.

3 caps and 3 goals. I sure hope more than a couple hundred Canadians have heard of him.
