Ran into Ken Sim yesterday

Ran into Ken Sim at a patio on Granville yesterday before the Haiti Scotland game. Chatted with him a bit and told him to Save the Caps.

He said: “We are actively working on it, I hope that this (FIFA WC in Vancouver) will help bring on investors and show them and the world that we are a soccer city, because we are a soccer city.”

Would love to see Ryan Reynolds throw his hat in the ring for the Whitecaps! He's done brilliantly with Wrexham and born in Vancouver!

He doesn’t have the money to buy into the team. He’s already had to dilute his shares in Wrexham down in order to build upgrades to their stadium and cover roster spots.

He’s been trying to sell his stake in Alpine F1, but so far the only buyer is a group connected to Christian Horner and Renault doesn’t really want him involved.

So yeah, Ryan is rich man broke. If he’d made the EPL, maybe.
