OT: Montreal Alouettes Thread

[Pompeius Magnus]

The organization is definitely due for some good news.

 

[Michelangelo]

Maybe they’re moving the team to Halifax?

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Official new owners apparently.

They just said that they may announce by Friday the hiring of a GM and a President. But he also said that it may be next week.



When asked about the language, he said it is a unique consideration with this market, but he's interviewed francophone and anglophone candidates.

Stern is there. Spiegel wasn't in attendance.

When asked why they chose to purchase the Als and not the Argos, who are also for sale. And them being from Ontario.

Stern said "I will say this and hope it isn't taken the wrong way, but the Argos suck."

He won me over with that one.

Stern has a sense of humor.

The owner of the Tiger Cats is there. Stern thanked him for being there and helping him with this whole process, particularly calming him for today's press conference.

He then asked him for a favor, and asked him if the Als can have their draft picks back.

When asked why Spiegel isn't there, Stern said he isn't there for family reasons.

He was also asked if they will be present or more in the background and silent. He said they will be silent and let the guys who run the football team do their jobs. He says that's how it should be.

Great seeing this, for the culture.

 

[Skip Bayless]

I don't like Ontario people running my team. No sir, no.

 

[Karma Police]

I like his demeanor

Who'd you have in mind?

He's been successful in both the CFL as Grey Cup winning coach with the Esks and made the Carabins a good team that could challenge Laval. speaks the language.

he destroyed the Eskimos before getting fired but like you said after what he did with the Carabins, he deserves a 2nd chances. Danny McManus and Jean-Marc Edme would have been better candidates personally
