Not really, I know that was a semi-joke, but that's hardly what it means. :lol:

Typically it means he will advise on issues, tactics, signings, academy players, as well as being a face for the club.

I'm sure Danny understood the situation at hand. Someone had to go, it was either Danny or Robbo due to the salaries being guaranteed at this point in the season. Without Danny leaving, there is no JDG on the horizon. He loves the club, he did what was best in his mind for the club.

He was going to retire in 2 months anyway. We want to sign JDG correct? Without Danny leaving (or Robbo), it wasn't going to happen. It sucks we won't see him in a TFC kit at home one more time as a send off, but at the same time, it was a necessary move. I'm sure Danny see's it that way as well. Nobody wants to retire, hence athletes retiring multiple times, but since it was going to happen anyway, what's 2 months? Especially since he wasn't getting playing time anyway.

That would be true but only if JDG actually signs due to Dichio retiring. If that was going to be the case, why is JDG not here announcing his signing?

Then some would complain that his retirement announcement was over-shadowed by JDG's presence/signing

??? I don't get this whole side that everyone seems to be upset about.

Clearly most of these issues started happening around the same time the JDG/Gold Cup stuff came up.

JDG decided to sign for TFC. The league won't approve JDG until we have the required cap/allocation space available. Dichio or Robbo are the only two options we have for freeing up cap space at this point in the season. Dichio was going to retire ANYWAY in 2 months. Robbo has more left in the tank than Dichio. Dichio is the natural choice, unfortunately and I'm sure he knew full well of that which is why he didn't want to speak to the press when he was asked.

Now we wait for the league to approve JDG, and everything is back in place.

Danny leaves like he came. Always a class act, always wanting to do what is best for the team. This only reinforces my respect for him.

I don't really know what to makeof all this. I was so looking forward to Danny's last game at the home closer. I just know he would have done something amazing. Plus I still think he's the best forward we have at the club right now. I'd rather see them break Barrett's legs and put him on the injured roster for the rest f the season so we can sign sign JDG and let Danny play on.

On the other hand, it kind of makes sense if we are about to get JDG and need the cap space since DD was gone at the end of the season anyway. But with Danny being a legend and all, this is just wrong, it shouldn;t be this way.

I just can't accept it. Unless he was injured Danny should have been given the playing send off we all wanted. he's still the main man. I am stoked that he is now in a role with the club, we always wanted that, but man oh man am I ever destroyed about him not getting to play his way to the final game.

WE LOVE YOU DANNY!!!!

This may be so but where exactly is Robbo going to play in the midfield? He can't play on either wing. He can't play in any kind of attacking role and we have Sanyang, Cronin and now JDG who can be defending the middle of the field. Add Guevara to the mix and we have a pretty clogged midfield.

I would have let Robbo go now. Let Dichio play out the season and retire with style and fill the spots in the off season.

That's just me. I think Dichio and Robbo are/were playing their last season with TFC. If I had to choose one of them to play it out it would have been Dichio. I feel bad for the guy.

Shaugno - normally I would agree with you, it makes good sense. But because it's DICHIO, I want ot have my cake and eat it in this instance. I want him to play to the end of the season, get the last goal of the season in front of the south end (you know he would, you just know it) and then go into this coaching/amassador role. I am not prepared to give up either of thiose and be happy about it.

yes, it sucks that Danny isn't playing out the year, but he's making a personal sacrifice for the club - and that's why he's a true legend. A legend would fall on his own sword for the good of the club, and that's what danny is doing.

I wonder if Ambassador pays more than his current salary?

But he is also stopping whilst he is still a hero! So much better for his brand and the name of soccer in Toronto. This is a longer term stragegy for him, the club and footy as we know it.


Well then why not tell the truth? What is so bad about that? Because the FO wants to make it look like it was DD's choice rather than something he was told to do.

Some honesty coming out of TFC would be refreshing. JDG or not.

I think it was honest. I think he WANTS to stay here in Toronto and forsaking the last 3 games to do so isn't a massive sacrifice in his eyes. Of course he's sad, he's the face of TFC. That doesn't mean he's had his hand up his back and a pickle up his arse to force him to do it!?!?!?!?


Mo also said he has allocation money and could have bought(?) cap space.

Regardless, it will be interesting to see the dynamic between DD and CC when he gets more involved in coaching the first team.

Agreed

Agreed 100%.

That would leave a spot for Robbo.

And TBH - if all he has to do is win the ball back, make a 5 yard pass to JDG I am perfectly fine with him playing in the starting 11.

I can't seem to get the video going, which is probably a good thing.

I had no problem. Good video and good audio. I've never had any problems with their player.

I really cannot see CC surviving the season. Play off hoeps look dead, and even if we somehoe scrape in the team's performances under him have been shocking recently. He has a good enough squad, this is MLS, he's been in control of or around the first team for the better part of 2 seasons now. If he can't get some good football going now, he never will.

The hunt better be on for the next manager already. I'll support CC until the end of the season ebcause he is the coach, but he's made a royal screw up in his lmited use of Dichio and he can't get the side going.

I am usually against change, but I really think it's time to get a new permanent coach in place. If we do sign JDG, then with the current squad we could go places if everyone stays fit and the coach can get the team playing well. And it's a young team as well.

I am not so big on that.....

It should become a famous number that a player wears with honour.

Similar to #7 on Man Utd. (tell me if I am wrong Shags :p)

I agree...retiring numbers in football isn't something I admire or need.

Proper respect towards a player in ways he would really appreciate is better.

yeah, but what happens when someone like Cunningham comes in with
a whole lot of promise, and then totally fails to deliver. They would taint
the #9 and it would have less appeal for the next great players.

sorry al-mo, your point gets a fail.

I see your point, but I'm a little of two minds about it.

If it isn't retired, the next person to wear it has some huge expectations to live up to it. :scarf:

Agreed..don't retire the number 9. There's no place for that in football.

But the next player that wears it has a lot to live up to. It should be a number of honour.

Exactly and that's how it should be. Wear this JERSEY and the fucking number with a ton of PRIDE.

I don't agree with retiring numbers in soccer. Put a wall of fame up somewhere, o nthe press box perhaps, or on the front of the upper deck but retiring numbers .... no.

there's a whole lot of things in the MLS and Toronto that don't happen in the bigger world of football, and personally I'm all about starting new traditions. We don't do things in the old world way because we're not an old world team. Really, it should come down to Danny. If he thinks it's a nice thing, then retire the number. If he'd rather some future players puts the number on and carries on tradition, then that's cool too. I jsut don't like when people say we should or shouldn't do somethign because that's not how the rest of the world does it

"It could have been anyone that day, and God was looking down on me, and I was lucky enough to put the ball in the back of the net," Dichio said. "It wasn't a great goal by any means."

Humble and classy thing to say. Perfect example as to why he'll always be remembered as a team player and someone who should be a role model for the entire TFC squad and even some upper management within the organization.

Mo and some people within MLSE can learn a thing or two from this guy about class.
