FC Cincinnati News Release
MLS released a statement yesterday from Dan Courtemanche, Executive Vice President, Communications. The complete statement is below.
"Although we have not finalized any agreements and all of the finalist markets remain under consideration, we have made the most progress in Cincinnati. Also, we continue to have discussions with Sacramento. We don't have, and don't need to have, a fixed deadline, and we will wait until all of the necessary elements are in place before selecting the next club. Whether the announcement is in a few weeks or a couple months is dependent on finalizing the details, but we do not anticipate that it will be an extended period of time."
