Are these quotes suggesting the previous Cap’s regime was corrupt? Corruption in soccer?

Yes, that the former manager and his agent connection had a vested interest in steering Davies toward one offer rather than another (that would have been more lucrative for the team).

The team is losing on and off the field. They might be in for a big fall in attendance.

Took me 7 years to lose interest in the Whitecaps FC. Loved watching the USL Whitecaps. Organization had more heart and Swanguard bred a more intimate environment. The owners right now do not give a shit about success or quality. The time to win was when they had Davies and they f***ing blew. Bottom 4 in payroll last season in the MLS with Davies. ****ing idiots.

I wonder if the owner pulled the pin on this team when his downtime waterfront stadium deal didn’t go through?

Some news. No further moves expected on the Caps front. Expectation this will be a "transition year" and they will be looking to build towards developing the squad for the 2020 season.

Disregard GlassCity post. I hated Robbo and his tactics but the decision to sell Davies to Bayren was made with the organizations approval along with Soccer Canada as they all felt and knew he could develop with Bayren over PSG (would have been disastrous to his development).

Does the player get any say in his transfer?

Yeah they do but a player will rarely refuse a transfer.

They got lucky by having Seattle and the Galaxy at home back to back. This way they'll get good attendance because of their opponents and spin it like they're still relevant in this city.

As long as Bobby Lenarduzzi is apart of this franchise in any way, shape, or form, I'll continue to boycott. He's clearly one of the most incompetent executives in the league.

I can’t believe that I’m apathetic towards my favorite sports team of all time

Had season tix at Swangard and was a die hard caps MLS supporter

Fire Dos Santos and start spending some of the Davies money as mandated by Don Garber

I see Garbers point in the Caps needing to spend big on a Euro DP, caps might just be one of the worst road draws in the League.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Garber should fine these asshats if they don't spend the money on actual talent by a certain date.

Forces them to not pocket the money an invest in the on-field product.

Larin reportedly has the Caps interested.

Would look nice up top as a target man with Montero in behind him as a 2nd striker. Canadian is always a plus, as well.

 

[crobro]

The whitecaps according to Croatian radio are targeting Alan Halilovic

Pretty decent player

This would be good.

That would be fantastic. I’m very pleased with how MDS is handling this. He’s being frugal but also sensible.

Caps given a PK, highly debatable lol but they deserve one after the past few games issues.

But the player tried to be fancy with a chip. It didn’t work and was saved.

Early candidate for worst PK of the MLS season. You know it's bad when the keeper dives prematurely, has a moment to look behind him, and scoop the ball off the ground without breaking a sweat.

Perplexing decision by Adnan. I almost wonder if he stubbed his foot in the turf prior to connecting to the ball.

 

[TruKnyte]

This Whitecaps team is bad, like really bad. Could see them going winless.

Funny thing is that a player has more chance of scoring a goal when he goes down the middle rather either side. He just miskicked it.

Depressing to be a Vancouver sports fan right now.

 

[trellaine201]

This team can’t score.

 

[polarbearcub]

Absolutely shameful that the caps have not spent their Davies money on a star dp. Man.., the white caps would be so much bigger it only they would spend money.

It’s time for bobby to go . What a disaster of a franchise

 

[EpochLink]

This team can’t score nor win a lick.
Holy shit, this team is trending downwards...

They need new ownership

Hit the post scores more and he got no game.
