The lack of information available on MoJo's time with us in Toronto is really poor:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mo_Johnston
On 22 August 2006, Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maple_Leaf_Sports_%26_Entertainment) (MLSE); owners of MLS club Toronto FC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto_FC), announced Johnston as Head Coach beginning their inaugural 2007 season (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Toronto_FC_season). Johnston has the dubious distinction of coaching Toronto FC through two records of futility: the MLS longest goalless streak at 824 minutes and the longest goalless streak to begin the season at 558 minutes.[citation needed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)] Before the start of the 2008 season (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Toronto_FC_season), it was announced that Johnston was moving upstairs to fill the role of Director of Football (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Director_of_Football), though he retained the title of manager, while John Carver (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Carver_%28footballer%29) took over coaching duties at the time.[11] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mo_Johnston#cite_note-Director-10)
Mo Johnston has earned himself the name "Trader Mo" because in the first half of the first season alone he had traded 9 players.[12] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mo_Johnston#cite_note-Trader-11) Throughout his MLS managerial career though, Johnston has developed a reputation of proficiency for drafting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MLS_SuperDraft) players, such as, Jozy Altidore (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jozy_Altidore), Marvell Wynne (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvell_Wynne_%28soccer%29), Maurice Edu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_Edu), Stefan Frei (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_Frei), O'Brian White (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O%27Brian_White), and Sam Cronin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Cronin), among others.[citation needed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)]
Apparently, in four years with Toronto he led a losing season, got a promotion, traded a bunch of guys and is a draft day wizard.
I know some are chomping at the bit to get back at Mo, consider this one possible way.
