I'd personally hope the Als and Impact can reach an agreement, but Saputo does need to be concerned about alienating his fanbase. He already made a lot of people upset changing the name; further disregard for their views could lead a lot of people to throw their hands up and walk away. It's a dangerous prospect in a city that only really cares about the Canadiens.
