As losses pile up, CF Montréal pledges rebuild in open letter to fans
As CF Montréal languishes at the bottom of the Major League Soccer standings, the club says it is entering a rebuild. Montreal has a 3-15-6 record in MLS play — for 15 points in 24 games — and dropped out of the Canadian Championship with a quarterfinal loss to lower-tier Forge FC of the Canadian Premier League in a bleak season. In an open letter to fans Wednesday morning, Montreal's executives acknowledged the team's shortcomings and stated the club would begin a new chapter rooted in ambition, pride and winning. "We share your dissatisfaction with the Club's results, and it is our responsibility to build a winning team that we can all be proud of," says the letter. "That is why we have decided to undertake a rebuild and launch a new chapter at CF Montréal. A chapter based on ambition and pride." President and CEO Gabriel Gervais, managing director of recruitment and sporting methodology Luca Saputo and managing director of academy strategy and roster management Simon Saputo signed the letter. It did not specify any tangible changes coming but did say supporters would see concrete steps toward that goal in the upcoming transfer windows. The MLS summer window opens Thursday.
