VANCOUVER—Vancouver Whitecaps CEO and Sporting Director Axel Schuster is choosing to remain hopeful about the club’s future in Canada, despite the swirling concerns and rumors about relocation.
“I am concerned,” Schuster told reporters in an hour-long roundtable on Wednesday, following reports of an offer from Grant Gustavson, the son of Kentucky billionaire Tamara Gustavson, which includes the intention of moving the club to Las Vegas. “That doesn’t mean that I’m not also hopeful that we will find the solution. I understand that everyone is concerned, but no one has to think that something is already done.”
