Memo from Portland Timbers owner Merritt Paulson dated Oct. 7, 2008: “Today, on behalf of the greatest soccer fans in America, we submitted our formal application to bring Major League Soccer to Portland.

Two of the men leading MLS expansion charges get the ink from their local papers today. Québécois dairy tycoon and Montréal Impact owner Joey Saputo has an enjoyable Q&A in the Montréal Gazette , while Portland Timbers impresario Merritt Paulson reveals loads of revenue and attendance related dirt on the Rose City club. I find it interesting that all these young, rich guys are hot under the collar...
In a final flurry of very ruffled feathers, the Cary-based Carolina RailHawks flap into a doubleheader against the Charleston Battery and Portland Timbers in USL-1's final regular season weekend. The stakes are high, as anything less than six points will snare no better than an 8th-place finish for the sophomore 'Hawks. In addition to winning two in two, they only make the playoffs if Atlanta and Minnesota...

According to MLStoPortland.com, the plan to renovate PGE Park includes: Modification [...]
Portland Timbers owner Merritt Paulson held a press conference this morning formally announcing his MLS intentions and I for one am solidly behind him. Not that my opinion carries any weight in the real world but there you go. Also, I enjoy pandering to the Timbers Army constituency (hey, Seattle loves Ives so I'm not too concerned about upsetting Jet City). Anyway, they've launched an official website...

Just a couple new moves to mention on this list. I will try to get this updated as much as I can before the transfer window closes here in the coming days (August 15 I believe). I still expect a couple more moves either by trades or signing. As always feel free to let me know [...]
