I'm sure Ghouse must have just left a "Tiger Woods type Voice Message" for Diaz.... something like:
"Hey it's Ghouse, can you please not tell anybody I pay you. Reedie is outing me..."
So basically your denying that you payed players for this season, but not that you payed them in previous ones? That's what it seems like.Maybe with the promise to the players that "when things pick up again" they will be payed again?? Just a thought.

Guys, there is a story breaking out of Burnaby...I don't have all the details but apparently Admir Salihovic may be getting paid as well...$1000 a month was the number.
Also, and I can't reveal this source, but I just got a phone call from someone in Mission that says they are 99% sure that Habil Otieno is on the pay roll too.
Not sure what to make of all this just yet but hopefully Ghouse will go into hiding.

Diaz Kambere told me before the start of this season that he was not going to sign with us because he was being paid by ACBC...I believe the amount was either $1300 or $1600 per month...not sure if that was before or after taxes

Ghouse,
I am sorry to hear about your personal and private life including details of your current financial situation.
I only think it makes sense that you join forces with the VMSL Premier teams to try and ensure that the BCPL does not go into effect next year. I don't think you or your club can handle the added financial commitment.

Wow...looks like numbertenhamburgler has quite the man crush on Ghouse!!!!
Now, the question is, hamburgler, are you the giver, or the taker?
Judging by your posts you sound like the taker!!!!
You prick ...I have no bank account no credit cards and no cable TV. All taken from me.
I have only what I have to get by with .
I cannot afford to fix my car so im driveing around with no windshield wipers and rims that the center pieces have been stolen and it looks getto.
My mother in law washes the team kits.
Anything else you need to know about me.
So maybe just maybe I love soccer and want whats best for the game and team I love.
Maybe my friends play for me because they get what I am trying to do and just maybe they like me.
Oh and if a guy on my team wants new yellow sox they pay $10 each for them and I run over to North American Sports and pay my bill with it as they have let me put shti on account.
You want me to post my doctors reports and Letters from Revenue Canada and the Banks Lawyers. Or better yet why dont I bring them to your next game and paper your car with them.
You who gets your soccer club to pay your players to coach the kids so guys will play for you...Dont think we dont all know your sweet little setup.

Sorry to hear about your personal life. But you come on here day after day saying it is not about the money to join the BC Premier League. Your own players have continued to say they are getting paid and laugh about it. Now you come on here trying to defend your finanical irresponsibilites.
You can't continue to lie. If you were so broke...last year you spend $10-30K on the brazil team that came here when nobody picked them up from the airport (I forgot the exact number you stated...i am sure it is on this site still). Funny how it is easy to fork out that cash and now you are so broke. Yet you said you are a great promoter and marketer..yet you are bankrupct....you are done numerous events...yet the ACBC summer tournament failed and your businesses supposely failed.....oh wait...i get it you are "taking the piss". Don't insult ppl's intelligence on this site.
There is nothing wrong with you paying for players but please don't continue to lie time and time again.

Millar ,because I have the utmost respect for you and I am friends with Rob I believe you are not pisstakeing me when asking your question.
Firstoff I agree with alot of what you are saying and I believe you are credible enough that your opinion is sound and should be listened to by all. I may not agree with it all but it is valid.
To answer your question.
I do believe the FVSL is moveing in the right direction. But for what I see as total Improvement and to better soccer even more so, we need to all be together. The whole Province. Yes even the Interior.
I am glad you asked this question because...
Let me back up a bit... As you said above we have Lawyers ,Accountants Regs, Businessmen all who could be doing a part.
Well my first profession and the one which I did so well at and how I bought my house from was as a Promoter.
Id like to think it was something I did very very well at because of the success I had doing it. SummerLove Festival 30'000 fans at $60 a ticket for 10 years. Took 4 of those years to get to those huge numbers.
WakeWest the Canadian National WakeBoard Championships in False Creek 35'000 fans.And Televised. I was the host on TSN for the Canadian version of the Big Air X games and owned the Festival that went along with it (WinterLove) 3 years. Various other huge events and small. I also had my own radio show for 3 years on 96.1 fm here in Vancouver which was fairchild radio...It was called the GSPOT..Laugh it up. It was the way I sold out my events. Dont by adds buy the show. And host it.
I was the tour director for the Lollapalooza 3rd tour and road manager for the Last Scorpians and Alice Cooper tour. Actually that came first before all the other stuff. What I learnt there showed me how to promote to the masses.
My point is I know a thing or 3 about how to market events. Sports, Music its all the same and I have done them all. With huge success.
I Know if we all get on the same page and unite all Sr mens soccer. The best soccer below the WhiteCaps, we have a marketable product.
But we need everyone together on the same page.
The older historic clubs with the newer clubs with personality.
The reason this year is so important is because the MLS is comeing and we need to ride the media wave.
We need teams from out of town so the promoters and media have an angle to promote. Derby games are the best but not every week...They need to be special so they can be hyped. A derby game every week loses interest, it doesnt build it.
In this new division or league, I know if done right we could elevate the popularity of soccer to where we really do get fans and with fans comes TV (shaw), they have been doing great with the Giants games. With fans you bring Sponcors.
Sponsors means money.
It all will happen if we get this puppy off the ground and just before the MLS, not after it. Soccer will be very popular very soon and we either are involved or we miss our chance.
TFC has a reserve team playing in the CSL and they have local TV coverage. Same shti different pile. Not to mention the CSL has a fan base.
Ya I know we need to put this down on paper and have a plan, I have heard that...But it just took you all 8 months to get together for 1 meeting. A plan like what you all are talking about will take way to long and its really not needed to just get the division up and running. All the details can be worked out as we move forward.
And for anyone who doubts any of this...I have had doubters for every event I have ever had...Whos going to pay to show up to watch Wakeboarding at FalseCreek...35 thousand did and the TV trucks rolled right in with them.
When I quote the move field of dreams and say 'build it and they will come'...I mean it.
people will come if the games are promoted right. If we have good venders and bevys. Playing double header games at a few of the good little stadiums with the right promotion...Its a no brainer.
Press will eat it up.
But you need the teams from out of town to do it. To make it all work we need everyone Together.
NOW is the time and not later.
Or we just continue down this path we have now...nothing wagered nothing gained...
Whats the worst that could happen....we go back to where we are now??
Where is my place in all this...right next to anyone and everyone else. At the games watchin footy.
Will I step forward and help..you bet i will ,as should everyone.
The opportunity is here now...Lets not waist it.
Bash me all you want...I make things happen and I dont stop till its finnished. Nothing can stop us if we really want to do something.
Dont be a hater..Jump on board..leave your legacy.
Your kids will say..my dad did that.
