TIWIT Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 English is definitely the language of international sports. A Russian and a Brazilian talking to a Japanese referee, all of it in English. Although everyone seems to pick up the naughty words of other languages pretty fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as Brazilians would when they left Brazil for anywhere bar Portugal and a handful of African countries. Indeed, it is a modern Latin. That does not make Latin easy.

Id normally give an opinion on our players when they sign for someone else and I know he didn't play a lot of games for Fax but I genuinley can not remember a single game he played in for us.

welshmagpie Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Matty Fozard signed, always rated the lad. Hardworking, versatile and a very good skill set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No superstars, all good hardworking players with decent talent. No veterans either, these are players who will all be around in the game for quite a few years.

Agreed, clever recruitment that shouldn’t require immediate turnover to spend a few years becoming competitive in the championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottawa winning promotion at 1st opportunity would be one in the eye for them especially if New York turn up the year after. How much money is paid for winning promotion? Anyone know?

Think it's champions up with the next 4 in a play off to join them, so 2 promotion spots. Going to be a very competitive top of that league.

LeytherRob Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Ottowa seem to be at least building a more mid table Championship team as opposed to TW going straight for top end championship/bottom end SL quality, if they've been sensible they shouldn't be paying a great deal for any of those signed so far either but I guess we'll find out further down the road.

LeytherRob Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 9 minutes ago, SL17 said: They won’t be going for part-time wages. The bonus being full time. Yes but there are definitely different levels of full time. You can build a full time team capable of breezing league 1 and competing comfortably in the championship that comes way under the salary cap if you are smart about it. I would be that Salford are spending less this year doing well than in SL than Toronto did in year 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 21 minutes ago, SL17 said: The one thing Salford show as an example is they compete. I don’t know their budget and can’t comment on that. But I’ll guarantee it’s less than Ottawa. Possibly so, but I bet Salford would want a bigger budget and if they could have one they would, so why wouldn’t Ottawa make use of it if it’s available?
