From Paul B's twitter -- looks like The Coch isn't the permanent guy (good news for those worried he was the man going forward and who were concerned about his PR-heavy background/lack of experience):

Interesting manager candidates being considered. Good times ahead for TFC. 10 minutes ago (http://twitter.com/Paulbeirne/status/14433268124356610) via Twitter for iPhone (http://twitter.com/)

At least he would demand the best on the field.

Yeah but his tactical setup would be crap and he'd go through coaches faster than Mo went through players.

"Manager" could mean coach instead of "general manager."

They could mean a more european style of manager who does both roles, then put a strong staff around him, of which Earl, Jimmy et al would be a part.

Not to mention his cold weather strategies are shit.

My prediction: They keep one of the current guys in charge and make him GM, and Dichio is made field coach with brennan as his assistant. Unless a top level Euro coach is available, or an MLS experienced guy, really, does it make any difference who leads this team? It is early December and TFC has about 10 player spots to fill presumably by the time they open training camp in Jan or february. This sounds much like past seasons, so the real question remains, are the guys in charge at mlse competent? Do they know what they are doing, do they even care now that the bulk of season tickets are sold? This refrain goes on and on and on, hopefully the mediocrity that plagues the other mlse teams does not stick with TFC, but I am beginning to doubt this.

My prediction... your prediction will look ridiculous in just a few weeks.

Its a testimony to how much MoJo destroyed this club's fanbase that there are so many conspiracy theories floating around.

Yep. PB wouldn't tweet something like this, only to shuffle around guys we already have on the payroll.

Well, demand better, OR ELSE!

I would be fine with a respectable manager/coach who knows what they're doing, and maybe easing Brennan into a President type role, like Uli Hoeness was at Bayern. Yeah, he'll have a say, but in the end, it'll be the coach's team on the field, so they can build it.

Not worried about unpreparedness this time around to be honest. We've already seen the worst. Nothing can be worse than last year and the year before that, which were seasons of lost hopes, where we were at the brink and fell out slowly and surely.

...and the fact that his hiring would pretty much rule out the triumphant return of Adam Braz.

At least we would crush PSG, Standard Liege, Dynamo Minsk, Dynamo Kiev and PSV Eindhoven in surprise friendlies.

Agreed. I don't see any reason not to take this as the real deal. I honestly can't figure out who it might be, but I have a feeling that MLSE/TFC have learned from their previous mistake (ie: Mo).

Really?

People have been making fun of Hitler for decades.
Making light of his terrible deeds would be considered out of line,
But making jokes about the guy is fine by me.

I think you are being awfully sensitive for a robot.

Here ya go... a Wiki page about Hitler in popular culture:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler_in_popular_culture

Now... what were talking about here?

Maybe. It might have something to do with reading certain kinds of books leaving me with thoughts of crosses, row on row - stuff like that. My mind sometimes spends time in a dark place is all.
