Jer15 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Interesting tidbit of the MLSnet article:TORONTO -- Major League Soccer Board of Governors approved expanding by two teams by 2011, MLS Commissioner Don Garber announced following Thursday's Board of Governors meeting in Toronto.Well that makes perfect sense.The commish, Don Garber, was on the soccer show and prime time sports on Toronto's Fan 590 (sports station...as you can guess) and he was stressing how he wanted to see what kinda of interest the candidate cities would generate from sponsers as well as what kind of TV deals they could get.He obviously wouldn't come right out and say it but the 4 markets he mentioned a number of times were Montreal, Vancouver, St. Louis, and Ottawa.I can't see why he's so interested in Ottawa, they have enough trouble trying to get a CFL team back for good. Also, Montreal's owner (Mr. Saputo) was on cbc and said that he'd move the Impact right into MLS as they are now, and just try to add a few more players to the mix. Just a side fact I found to be interesting because I don't believe that's how Seattle is doing it, or am I incorrect?

Just a side fact I found to be interesting because I don't believe that's how Seattle is doing it, or am I incorrect?I guess it all depends who the owners are. If the Saputo family ends up with the MLS right for Montreal, you can be sure that they'll take the best elements from the current Impact team and get others to fill up the vacant spots on the roster.

If the MLS does go to Montreal, I don't think there would be any other owner. He owns the stadium too, so on the off chance another owner comes in I can see him blocking use of his stadium out of spite.

They are 2 different teams with 2 different ownership groups (or owners).What Mr. Saputo was saying is he'd literally just move the Impact from USL 1st division to the MLS.

But they are considered two separate entities. (Which will make things very interesting for the 09-10 CCL should the current Sounders win the US Open Cup this year.)
