What's sad about the whole situation is the Fury did amazing things in their first 2 years. They got big crowds, made the NASL finals and looked like they would be the next Whitecaps or Impact.
But then OSEG looked at the balance sheet and panicked.
They gutted their squad (despite the players publicly begging ownership to keep it together), dropped their academy, moved to USL (paying another expansion fee) as a cost cutting measure and then continued to cut until they had gutted their fanbase and squad to bare bones.
CPL will be back in Ottawa in time and it will be done right the next time around.
