saw a poll on tv with Brennan and Lalas included. I will kill myself if either one of these two are even considered for GM.

In his report of the game, Gareth Wheeler speculated that Barry McLean might be one of the consultants.

I hope that isn't the case.

Lalas put something in perspective in that article. As quickly as a team can drop in this league, they can just as quickly move up to the top of the rankings and have a culture of winning.

RSL did it. NYRB did it. Let's be fair, we were on the verge of it last season. We have a great core; all we need to do are fill the holes (as gaping as they may, its still possible), cut the waste (Garcia, Saric, Hscanovics, etc.), bring in quality young workmanlike players (the Gargans of the soccer world) and channel the locker room harmony into one of confidence and winning (I get the feeling the boys will be as happy with winning as we are).

As this season comes to a close, as people jump off the bandwagon, I can't help but be optimistic. I know I sound like an idiot, but starting with the draft, we truly could see TFC v2.0

Seconded.

He is the same consultant who brought us Marco Reda and Adam Braz.

Thanks Barry!

I fucking hope not, ill have lost all faith in everything if that is the case. As if we havent learned enough from dealing with this man through Mo.

I saw Barry McLean at half time walking around the pitch like he still owned the place. :facepalm:

Is this an old headline???


:scarf: = :deadhorse:

The reason we kept rebuilding was because Mo Johnston was scared to be fired at the end of every year, and he wasnt fired because the team wasn't going to be relegated or about to lose fan attendance. Who ever thought that TFC wouldn't make any changes in management until the fans turned on the team, you deserve a pat in the back because you know MLSE like a true fan who's suffered.

I have to agree. If you look at some of these clubs (especially the originals) who have been around for awhile they still have yet to win a Cup or any type of serious hardware. Here we are in our 4th season and some sound like the club is either folding or moving to another city.
I know our supporters are a very knowledgeable sort and have followed or grown up with English and European clubs all of their life, but this is still a new club in a very young league in which anything can happen. Hell, if the Red Bulls of New York can win the Western Conference title ANYTHING can happen.

Exactly. If RSL can go from squeaking into the playoffs to champion, anything is possible.

To me, the season is ending. There were good times and bad. But starting Sunday, its time to move on and focus on the the draft and the upcoming team. To those who choose not to renew, I really hope you find your way back in to the stands at least a few times next season. I just hope, for your guys' sake, you don't make a decision you'll ultimately regret.

Principles, disappointment and anger are all fair arguments, but to have season tickets from Day One only to drop them four years later... like I said, I just hope those who choose not to renew don't regret their decision.

It'll be the first off season without Mo. The FO has taken notice of our concerns and know they're being held accountable by us and the media. Really good things could come out of next season.
