Are you calling out Paul for this?



because I don't see how you can.

[billyfly]

Damn straight it did.

[wzhxvy]

Paul is busy getting advise/coaching from DC united about how to sign the deal with Real Madrid...he is busy...please leave him alone. Oh and he is trying to figure what piece of shit team he is going to bring for the first friendly...he might not have anything to do with tonight but he is part of the leadership team. And I am sorry to say, they have all failed.

The subtlty adds to the barb....but okay just for you...

They fuck around with the game against Real Madrid, you know the important stuff $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Meanwhile Rome is burning.

Supporters get upset (why isn't it included? why move a game since it'll hurt our chances, why expose our team to more games than necessary and run the risk of injuries...exhibit A O'Brien, R) the response we get is a twitter post from the director of business operations....

The sky is falling, the sky is falling.

[Carts]

Even Sportsnet got the tiebreaker wrong for this! Unless MLSE found a way to fudge the tourny for TV ratings - like the way they found a way to fudge our "friendly" tickets to me the "other friendly"...

FUCKSAKES! I'm sorry I'm bitter but this is bullshit...

Paul's tweet today: "Today's dilemma: do we pre order champagne for delivery to the TFC locker room? What's the protocol in a match like this? Discuss."

I understand the reference.

I thought you might be blaming Paul for the loss tonight, which would be ridiculous.

they just sent the champagne we paid for to vancouver's dressing room

[Naturegirl]

Paul, can you fire Mo......please

[MFG1]

here comes the summer of 08 again, and 07 to boot. three times a charm. Sickening.

[SoccMan]

Hey everything is going like usual based on the last two years, it's about this time of year where we go on a crazy losing streak where we set records for longest period without scoring a goal. We are already into setting the next goaless streak having already gone two games without a goal. Here we go again boys!

[Kickit09]

The sky is not falling in MLSE offices. More like champagne is flowing to celebrate the lucrative Real Madrid deal. Things could not be better at MLSE.

[ensco]

This thread should be about Anselmi, not Paul. He's Mo's boss.

What's been on Anselmi's mind the last few weeks?

Goosing the numbers, that's what.

MLSE could not give a shit about the Champions League. Can anyone confirm if it's the clubs that have to pay for airfares/accomodation for champion league games? if so, that would cost MLSE $$$$$$$$$$$ and they do not want to do that.

yeah but consider the revenue from 3 or 4 more home games plus a potential game at skydome

they have a lot to lose in not winning this cup

[jabbronies]

agreed. Playing more games = more money for sure.
This isn't an MLSE thing people...it's the on the field product

That's exactly right.

Fuck. Some people on this board are so stupid it hurts.

More Wins = More Money

It's as simple as that. If you want to know how to maximise revenue then that's how it's done. It's not rocket science.

[jabbronies]

The TV rights alone for the CONCACAF Games would've brought in a ton of $$$.

CONCACAF pays for the teams travel expenses.

Are you kidding? If that was the case then you blame every MLSE failure (Raptors, Leafs, TFC) on all the players that have once played for those teams? for fuck sakes this organization is not willing to spend the money and TAKE RISKS in order to bring in more money. So let me put it to you the way it REALLY is.

MORE WINS = MORE INVESTMENT FROM MLSE
MLSE = NOT WILLING TO MAKE THAT INVESTMENT AND TAKE THAT RISK

[rocker]

MLSE = NOT WILLING TO MAKE THAT INVESTMENT AND TAKE THAT RISK

all three teams have capped salary bills. MLS has the DP thing, so I can see that as perhaps an "investment" not done. But otherwise, there's no extra investment that needs to be made. It's about using money you have wisely.

Completely disagree. There are a lot of ways to spend money in a capped league in order to improve the quality of the team. We've had nothing but fuckheads who don't know how to manage for the past 10 years on all of MLSE's teams. They've finally signed Burke and Wilson over at leaf land after how long of mediocre crap? They signed Colangelo over at the Raptors but after how long of mediocre crap? now we sign two coaches in a row who had never been Head Coaches on TFC. No grass, No DP, No roof, a stadium that looks like it's built out of legos. I can keep going forever.

WHEN THE FUCK WILL WE GET PROVEN MANAGEMENT AROUND HERE? The yelling is not towards you Rocker :)

Not necessarily.

There is no salary cap on scouting and coaching. There is no salary cap on competent management.

Yup! LOL

I have the press release from the CSA from Monday - now today they have put out another that is UPDATED (aka the tiebreaker is changed)...

Also of note, there's a couple of people in the media that aren't too happy (one is in TV - guess what network LOL) because the CSA's "mistake" (aka the change made this morning) made them look foolish last night...

Its a mess...
