So last month Montreal put in a bid for a new MLS franchise in 2011. Then last Friday we got word from MLS commissioner Donald U. Garber that Montreal had withdrawn their bid. A little later we got clarification from MLS that the bid had been rejected. Yesterday in Montreal bidder Joey Saputo of the USL First Division Montreal Impact said he had not withdrawn the bid, and was caught off guard that MLS would make that wild announcement, so he had a press conference to state his case. The Montreal Gazette was there. It turns out they never even bid the full $40 million the league set as the minimum. He thinks it's too much. Why did he bid then? Oops. Guess that ended your bid right there buddy.
