Whitecaps put right building blocks in place
I used to love playing Monopoly as a kid.
There was a certain satisfaction to be gained from the slow, methodical acquisition of assets, and you could almost sense the moment when your holdings would put you out in front for the long haul.
You didn’t need to have the most expensive properties on the board; Boardwalk and Park Place would certainly net you a bundle of cash now and again, but they couldn’t be relied on to be winners on every trip around the board.
A more balanced portfolio was always a better strategy, and with the right properties in your stable, you were virtually assured of being successful.
In very much the same way, the Vancouver Whitecaps are slowly acquiring a collection of assets that will increase their chance of success when they join Major League Soccer in 2011.
