MONTREAL - Joey Saputo, owner of Club de Foot Montréal, threatened the Montreal supporters group 1642 Montreal with changing the name of the Team again and disbanding the supporters group after they issued a complaint about egregious ticket pricing for the upcoming Miami home game.
“I did it once, and I’ll do it again,” stated Saputo in a call with the Montreal supporters groups. “I’ll rename this team the Montreal Clowns and ban every single one of you from attending the game if you complain again.”
Sources say that the fans were simply upset that the team was charging $449 plus taxes for a single ticket in their supporters group section for the Miami game, however that did not stop Saputo from claiming foul.
“You are all trying to sabotage me! I built all this! ME! I’ll name this team the Montreal Saputos! I’ll do it! I’ll bury you like I did UM02.”
The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Saputo removes the fleur-de-lis from the crest in retribution.
