Too little, too late?

Despite a new CEO, it's business as usual for the Canadian Soccer Association

I have a lot of questions this week, but I don't have too many answers.

We'll start with the biggie. I'm more than a little bewildered that the Canadian Soccer Association targeted March 31st to name Canada’s new men’s coach, only to move it back three weeks because several board members were unavailable for a meeting.

That doesn't sit right. They'd agreed upon the date, then suddenly they can't find the time to approve the most important decision this organization will make this year. It’s already way too late.

They need to adopt the Toronto FC slogan "All for One," because it seems the CSA is still heading in several directions at the same time with too many conflicting agendas spoiling the plot—which means they're going nowhere. A little birdie also tells me the new CEO is a businessman, and not a soccer guy. I think I like that.
