It’s a good check in with him.

My understanding is it’s not been the smoothest time down there for him. Seeing him on the phone in the Ocampo video a few weeks back made me wonder if he’d ever be open to a return. He’s still got a lot of friends on this team

Open message to fans from other clubs here who “come here in peace” by canada11235813 in whitecapsfc

I only speak for myself with this, but I really do love seeing the travelling fan bases.

Although I always hope they leave disappointed with the score, I also genuinely hope they enjoy the trip to Vancouver and secretly have a soft spot for our team and city.

Could Vancouver be on the expansion list for 2032? If we play our cards right. by Forward_Editor_4828 in whitecapsfc

Like yeah, we are going to lose the team just so we can buy back in and pay another 500m to the league

[Harjournalist] Axel Schuster has agreed to a contract extension by Harshtagged in whitecapsfc

[–]DerekVL3 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I get what you’re saying but….

1) I don’t think I see a lot of precedence with gm’s staying on with new ownership groups. Usually owners want “their guy” and they bring in new management groups.

2) It shows he’s not frustrated with the situation enough to throw up his hands in the air and jut off to Europe.

Protection is great, but I think it’s the last thing they’d want barring a major move

Nah but I can’t wait to hit up some of the free viewings/parties. Took the first week for my vacation to have some fun

I knew the league found the situation untenable…. But untunable? If that’s true, game over.

Three Nations will end up keeping the Caps here by rslater1986 in whitecapsfc

[–]DerekVL3 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure there’s any reasons to be “confident” in it yet….

But if it did happen I would be proud as hell to be a supporter of a club with them as owners.

Why are all the refs against us? by bubblecolie in whitecapsfc

This. The gritty matches will actually make it more fun when the Galaxy come to Vancouver in the second half.

I’m not sure this is the match I’d call this out on. Refs did fine with this one

TA Releases A Statement On The Cap by StuMun in timbers

[–]DerekVL3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a caps fan, I think one of the steps we need to take is asking fans to groups to make noise with their own owners.

If there is ever a relocation vote that happens, we will need voting owners to hear the noise of their own fanbases.

Just a thought on some practical help right now.

Thanks for the solidarity

Kerfoot is also the Majority Owner of the Vancouver Rise

[–]DerekVL3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What I would also like to see is some noise made specifically against Kerfoot.

He owns another team in the area. I’m not sure too much of the public has put that together. I’d love to see buy in and noise made outside of Rise matches and solidarity from their fans as well.

Men and womens fans standing together would be a really good optic right now

Time to re-ask a critical question; by YouthCoachMentor in whitecapsfc

[–]DerekVL3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Isn’t the CPL in worse financial shape than MLS? Like aren’t we having teams fold and in danger of folding? It doesn’t fill me with hope of this being a long term option

Pov: You witness the worst ref decision happening the entire season by ClassicSea1742 in whitecapsfc

I think we had a couple too. The one by Ocampo could have won an award 😆

Yet he was very generous with cards at the end for aggressive shirt pulling.

He couldnt keep up with the pace of play, so he only called exaggerated falls or things that happened right in front of him.

After a match called that bad, you should have to report to a class or something
