Paul Barber has stepped down as CEO of the Vancouver Whitecaps. The club announced today that he will be leaving his post in February, after just over two years on the job.
The move is a surprise. When Barber first arrived in Canada every indication was that he was here for the long haul. So far, there was no indication as to why he is leaving.
In a statement released by the club Barber said that he was proud to have been associated with the ‘Caps.

“I am delighted and honoured to have served one of North America's oldest and most famous soccer clubs and to have played a part in re-establishing the Whitecaps at the highest level of the game on this continent,” he said. “I would like to thank the club, my associates, our partners, and of course our fantastic supporters for a very rewarding experience in a great city. I will continue to be a proud ambassador for the club in the future.”
The club did not say anything other than to officially thank him for his time.
