And I thought from the articles back at the time, that Concacaf expected the CSA to sort it all out as it was a Canadian only matter, and when they stayed deliberately silent, Concacaf had no choice but to step in and sort it out last minute. Sounds like they've stepped in again and reminded Fury about what they want, and that's a Canadian pro team, to play in a Canadian pro league and the USL probably could care less either way.
CSA (though they had to do it quietly, given the CPL and backlash it would get for going against the good of the game in Canada) lost/got out politicked to Concacaf, is what that read like, so Pugh is taking his Fury and their ball and going home.
It really is rich to hear a CSA board member lament "politics" as the reason he didn't get his way for his team. No desire for the supposed mandate of the organization he works for and collects a cheque for, in growing Canadian soccer, it's all about his interests. Politics makes that organization go round and 90% of its day to day happenings are strictly to do with handing and dealing with internal political battles.
His sob story riccochet about the big bad CPL giving him a ransom note is about as hollow as Forge's Microwaveable Plate Championship.
