Women aren't impressed. Nor should they be.

A stop gap PR move as Bontis moves to CONCACAF, and predictably the CSA aims to fix the situation by putting a female as Interim President.

The women see right through that smokescreen, saying that both national teams have been negotiating in the dark because the CSA isn't giving them numbers, and, this about the new President.

As impressive as Charmaine Crooks is as an athlete and a Canadian, from the women’s national team’s perspective she represents the 'old guard' on the board. She was on the board when it approved the Canada Soccer Business deal in 2018, and she has always appeared to the players to be closely allied with Nick Bontis. Unfortunately in the decade she has spent on the board, the players have seen nothing to suggest that she was working to promote the women’s national team’s interests," the statement said.
