Are these brothers that far removed from Montreal? I did not know that.
I know they still have more local roots than Wethenhall had but in order to re-energize the franchise optimally you really need someone who is well plugged in to business, the media and even showbizz.
Nothing against the Lenkovs but the Éric Lapointe group would probably have been more optimal for that.
And before anyone asks, not just because they're francophones. Remember that the previous Alouettes renaissance was masterfully orchestrated by Larry Smith - who was extremely well connected locally.
