Why Not in Great White North???
Every week I'm listening to several radio shows in Montreal and TV shows in North America and everybody is saying that MLS should expand to soccer-traditional cities such as Montreal, St.Louis, Miami and others.
Speaking about Montreal, several sources are telling me that Mr.Saputo, who is the owner of USL's Montreal Impact is desperate to get into MLS but would love to get another financial force into his side. Here comes George Gillett, owner of Liverpool F.C. and the Montreal Canadiens.
But the question I'm asking myself, wouldn't it be safe to create a Canadian Premier League in concert with the Canadian Soccer Association to help develop the sport in the country, instead of putting all the money into a league that is not even based in Canada???
With teams in Montreal ,Quebec City,Vancouver's USL side, Ottawa, London, Halifax, Niagara and other cities in Canada and even Toronto FC coming into the group, it could be possible to put all the money into a league that could help built a powerhouse in the Concacaf region like the MLS did it with the US soccer federation.
With the creation of the CPL, the possibility of more entrances in the CONCACAF Champions League for Canada is something that could be attracting for canadian teams because it could represent more money, media coverage and sponsorships opportunities.
With a league in Canada, it means more canadian players plying their trades in Europe and around the world would come there and gain more money if there's a respectable salary echelon. It also means that several young players instead of going to Europe, they could stay close to their families and still perform at a great level and practice the sport that they love.
So I'm throwing you guys the idea it is to you to discuss it. Send me your comments, so we could debate it.
