Almost a month since my last update, and a lot of changes. The first was Paul Dalglish coming in as coach/manager, (yes he is related to Kenny Dalglish he is his son). Paul has been coaching/managing in the USA for a number of years.
We now have 18 players, 3 goalies, 6 defenders, 6 midfielders and 3 forwards. 7 new players have been signed, the latest is englishman James Bailey who last season was a team mate of Connor Hourihane at Barnsley, he left them and went to Indian club FC Pune City coached by David Platt.
The schedule came out yesterday and Fury's first game will be on April 3 a repeat of last years championship final against NY Cosmos, there will a 32 game schedule this year as 3 new teams have come into the league and 2 teams folded.
Pre-season training will start in February, all will be indoors as the Ottawa area will be covered in snow and ice, usually they will organise a few exhibition games in indoor facilities and play a few outdoor games in NY state at outdoor facilities in mid march, and then move their pre-season training down to Florida for the last 2 weeks before the opening game. Unfortunately this is not fair as the teams in Florida are already in training and in fact have already started playing exhibition games.
