A quick rundown on the backgrounds of each:
Greg Kerfoot - a native of the Vancouver suburb of Burnaby, BC. Owner of USL Whitecaps, soccer mega-philanthropist, software billionaire.
Nash - hails from the provincial capital of Victoria, BC. NBA superstar, brother of Caps midfielder Martin Nash.
Jeff Mallet - also from Victoria. Former Yahoo CEO, part owner of San Francisco Giants.
Steve Luzco - a Vancouver native, present chairman & former CEO of Seagate Technology, part owner of Boston Celtics.
All four are local owners with ridiculously deep pockets. Vancouver could not ask for a better ownership group to keep the MLS dream alive for a club that has been such an important part of Canadian sports history.
