Luc Poirier: «Tu veux faire quoi, une tour à condos sur le terrain du stade?», lance JiC

Jean-Charles Lajoie expresses skepticism about Luc Poirier's interest in purchasing CF Montréal, suggesting that the current ownership under the Saputo family should publicly announce their departure from soccer in Montreal. He believes that this would allow local businesspeople to step forward and show their willingness to buy the team. Lajoie argues that the Saputo family should acknowledge the end of their era in soccer while respecting the team's history in the city.

The discussion shifts to the challenges faced by CF Montréal, particularly regarding the team's stadium, which lacks heated turf, making it unsuitable for winter play. Lajoie highlights the financial implications of upgrading the stadium, noting that it would require a significant investment. He also mentions the potential for other cities, like Detroit, to attract soccer franchises, suggesting that the Saputo family's connections within the MLS could lead to a scenario where they retain a stake in the team even if it moves.

Lajoie emphasizes the need for local investors to consider the purchase of CF Montréal, pointing out that several prominent figures have the financial capacity to keep the team in the city. He warns against a narrow-minded approach that could lead to the loss of the franchise, similar to past failures with other sports teams in Montreal. The conversation concludes with Lajoie reflecting on the team's future, indicating that significant changes could occur within the next few years if current trends continue.
