Have the Ottawa Renegades have new management yet? 

Post#1 » by HDMAVS760CA » Sat Apr 21, 2007 10:51 pm

Last year I was checking out their site & found out that because of no more ownership or something, the Renegades suspended operations for the 2006 season. Any news on them returning yet? 1 reason I want them 2 come back cause they have the best logo in the CFL & i've bought a few things of them. Mainly caps. Ida bought more but I had 2 spend money on other stuff :( .
Its kinda best that I don't watch them play cause last time I did in 2004, I cursed them. They had a 3-0 record & they finally were on a cable channel I had at the time so I chose 2 watch the game. They got stomped like grapes at a wine making factory :( & they haven't been the same since. But it would be great if they made a comeback & win the Grey cup.

The Renegades went out mainly because of poor management (not to mention lack of fan support), so I doubt they'd rush into anything at this point. It could (and most likely will) be a few years before they get back into the CFL. Another possibility is that they decide Ottawa is a football wasteland and don't even bother bringing the team back at all

Has there been any talk about putting franchises in other cities? Like in Quebec City, Thunder Bay, or Halifax,Novia Scotia.

Too bad that can't happen in american sports. Cause there's a lotta terrible management there, some teams should be contracted cause they're that bad.

There was talk of a Halifax team for a while which I think was originally geared towards expansion in 2008-2010. However the failure of the Renegades probably set future expansion back a few years

The talks about Ottawa getting a new team have died down and I do not see them getting another team any time soon.
