Game vs Dallas is the game that confirmed we're not making the playoffs.

I say we play the rest of the season with AJH and Crépeau starting. Can't possibly do worse than Mancosu and Bush, and they can actually get better
I just read some quotes from what Joey said at the recent event for the season ticket holders, about the team finances, not willing to invest more in players because of game attendance, and the need to be intelligent and efficient with our spending...
What a hypocrite. Its not like he never filled the Stade before by investing in a major DP. And its not like his team is playing in a way that fans will rush to the Stade right now.
People can put the numbers up, our spending is not efficient at all. A huge chunk of our salary cap is wasted on the bench... Oduro, Camara, Bernardello, Cabrera... (not adding Romero because circumstances).
With the poor season we're having, and no more Drogba effect, I think attendance this season has been pretty decent.
Judging from my computer screen at least the SS always seems to be pretty crowded. Market wise there has to be quite a few places that are in worse shape than Montreal is.
As soon as it gets cooler outside, the Stadium will be empty unless we are on a run.
With some of the big spenders power house in the east (Toronto, Atlanta, NYCFC, Orlando), if they keep this mindset of not being willing to invest to compete doing the playoff will be hard. You don't have to be as crazy as them, but you at least need to be willing to spend when your team need improvement to be competitive.
Especially with a bad staff and no real scouting team. They are making it hard on themselves by badly managing their assets. So they don't spend money and the money they spent is not done in an intelligent manner.
The team often play like they are not coached at all. The team is all about the individual effort of 2-3 entertaining players.
So they basically brand themselves as an amateur cheap ass team who is getting further behind other teams every year and hope that people throw their cash at them. Even if the tickets price is low if the overall product on the field is not there and plausible chance to win is not there it makes it hard to bring more consumers in.

You see reading this is depressing as hell because it's totally on point. I've said years ago how others teams spend money and while the gap at the time between big bucks team and the cheap ones was small, things WILL definitely changed.
Wtf? He just expects people to waste their money on a **** team giving up 2 goals in the last 15?
What kind of logic is : we're not spending any money because people don't go to our games? If you're not happy with your attendance, change your formula. What a brat... He'll be the reason why IMFC will turn into the next Charlotte Bobcats.
And if you look at the current top 4 teams in East : Toronto, Chicago, NYCFC and Atlanta. We already know about Toronto, NYCFC and Atlanta but Chicago used to be a cheap team and they learned quickly that in order to be a contender you have to spend.
So Reasons why IMFC sucks
1. Cheap FO
2. Clueless/bad staff members
3. Delusional FO
4. Expensive gears
5. No scouting ressources
6. All these are very easy to improve but refuse to do so.
The only thing im looking forward to every game is Frederic Lord's humor.
Saw Desantis at Rockland mall and told me there is a big player coming soon. Hope it's true

This guy?
I don't know how legit this dude is but he's saying that the Impact offered $2.7M for Nazareno Solis. No idea who this player is.
