Coach Jesper Sørensen saw the “emotional” support as a “show of love from the fans to the team, to the players and to all of us.” The coach emphasized: “It’s a strong message.” Especially since it is a topic that also concerns the players. A move by the club would also mean a move for them. “We have known for some time that the club is for sale,” said defender Tristan Blackmon. “We don’t have too much influence on how the overall situation develops in terms of the future of the team – whether it stays or not.”
The fan protest surrounding the 3-1 home win against Colorado was a clear plea for staying in Vancouver. In addition to expressions of dissatisfaction, it could also be crucial for the future of the club whether the fans follow Müller’s wishes. “It would be nice if the lower tier was completely full at every home game, not just almost full,” said the German recently. This was the case against Colorado, 27,589 fans streamed into the stadium.
