Loving the facebook comments on the apology letter on TFC's Website: 12 pages and counting of negative reaction to the apology...pure gold.

Agreed.

And its proof that the anger and resentment towards TFC stretches a lot further than supporter's group message boards.

People aren't buying the apology nor the gesture of removing the CCL tickets.

So, what are the chances the deadline gets moved again and the MLS Cup tickets are also removed? I think if the renewals remain low it could happen.

yeah, the gesture by the club is pretty empty.
if they actually felt bad, they would do more, or lower ticket prices.
I think it would have already happened, but the precedent would be bad for their other clubs (leafs, raps)

They are STARTING to look for consultants now, to help with the GM search? What have they been doing since Sept. 14th when they dumped Mo & Preki? And why didn't they have a shortlist of consultants ready before that, as Mo was already on VERY thin ice?!

Read an absolutely brilliant quote in one of the articles:

"Apologies cost nothing, that's why we've been given one instead of any meaningful action."

By the way, I'm asking anyone who's commenting on the MLS, TFC, and various news sites to add: 'Price Freeze Now!' to any post, as that seems to be the most pressing issue people are having.

The deadline to renew has been pushed out one week to Oct 22nd.

The first payment is made on the date you call in to renew or process your renewal in the Account Manager.

I amazed how little discussion there has been on this board about the Gordon elbow to Cann in last Saturdays game. I understand that there are some other pressing issues around at the moment but one of our key players was intentionally assaulted and nobody is talking about it.
Now Gordon has been rightly suspended for what MLS admit should have been a red card incident. Terry Vaughn saw the incident and only issued a yellow. Should he not be suspended as well for complete incompetence?
5 out of 6 of the reports on the game posted here on Sunday didn't even mention the incident and it was not shown on any highlights. To me it was one of the worst premeditated assaults I have seen in soccer and the suspension should have been longer. It even borders on the criminal charges cases that sometimes happen (Marty McSorley, Todd Bertuzzi in Hockey). If you want to see it again it's now been posted on the mls site

Get back to work. But yeah, this place isnt really about footy right now is it? Bit strange. What surprises me, and I may be wrong, but wasnt the dude yellow carded? I thought the rules prohibited secondary punishment on fouls that had already been punished. I'm glad it happened, it all brought back thoughts of Iain Hume's horrible brain scar.

After viewing the video it's REALLy hard to say that it was a terrible "premeditated assault"...they came together and Gordon smacked him in the face...yes it should have been a red, and 2 games is enough of a punishment...

an actual real and meaningful gesture of appeasement?

Please watch it again. Cann is looking back at the ball as Gordon runs past him, looks at him and then forearms him in the face. To me it was a blatant, intentional, blind sided punch. They didn't "come together", Cann wasn't even looking at Gordon.
I know nobody wants to talk about what is happening on the pitch at the moment but I think Gordon is getting off easy because this was a meaningless game.

You're right on the precedent, but the other teams don't have a fan base quite like TFC. The TFC supports are much more vocal and organized than the other two. There is no Leaf 'Nation', just a bunch of independent people buying tickets and the like. They would never unit - too self interested.

Most won't buy any concessions and alot of us are season ticket holders so they already have our money.

Nice try though.
