My guess. Earl has the "GM" job which will no longer be called a "GM". Given all the moves he has made in the past month we have all speculated that Earl has taken on the role permanently and will not be moved but will not have the broad powers that Mo had. My guess is it will be an administrative role, essentially to manage the contract side of things.

I think they will be announcing the new coach. Considering the shitshow of the past couple of days and the promised "pre Christmas" announcement, I think this is the team deflecting negative news with more positive ones.

I am going to say Mariner for coach.

Looks like it's just a CSN update on their website not an announcement from TFC.

Nuvinho
12-29-2010, 02:00 PM
I think all that has happened the past few days, has made TFC FO push up their timelines to announce that Earl is remaining as GM. If they didn't respond this week, Earl's name would of been dragged to the mud more with him not being in charge and has no control over the DeRo saga, etc.

Perhaps a little farther than that. Mariner for coach and some (but not total) responsibility for player management alongside Earl.

I am sure MLSE (who are great at doing this) will "invent" positions. Whatever these positions are and their respective jobs, it will essentially be Earl taking care of contracts (like Mo was doing at the end of his days) and Mariner doing the roster management (like Preki was doing).

And for this we needed to wait 4 months.

So far, this is just a twatter post from a bunch of guys with a less than stellar record when it comes to breaking news. Not trying to dis too much here, but CSN/24th/ICF are always behind stories being broken by the Globe, etc.

I'm guessing they'll report something like "Mariner is in advanced talks to become TFC's new coach," which will be pretty much where we've been on this board.

In terms of a new GM, they may report that Earl's got the job permanently. Which, in case you've not been following, IS FUCKING SCARY.

http://www.thestar.com/news/article/905770--secrets-from-the-leafs-real-boss


Peddie is a lightning rod for Leaf and Raptors fans because, by his own admission, he is also accountable for gaffes that affected play on the ice and the hardwood.


“I wished I’d hired the two Brians earlier,” he said of Leafs’ GM Brian Burke and Raps’ GM Bryan Colangelo. “They represent experienced winners and I hired rookies at the GM level — and that’s not something you do in Toronto, not with franchises like the Toronto Maple Leafs.”
I like them well enough, but you can't have two rookies running the team (and yes, both Cochrane and Daso are rookies - if strictly by definition - because they haven't done it before)

And not even god knows what's going on with this club. No wonder the Leafs and Raps haven't won a damn thing. Can people of a city sue MLSE for negligence? The Leafs at least are basically a civic property, if they became the tenants of city hall and they totaled the place they'd be held responsible right? Who's seen Erin Brockovic? lol



Edit: And Parky, not only do they have to win in Vancouver but I'd suspect theyd need some SERIOUS gesture, like subsidizing a plane for fans before they get ANY good will behind this club again.

Richie Williams
current NYRB assistant?

I wouldn't mind him at all. i think he can get a lot out of his players, as evident by his two stints as interim head coach at NYRB

I'd prefer more experience, but no reason to disparage someone who has served the team well.


His track record of coaching is atrocious. He's part of the CSA crew.

Nothing served well there.

I tweeted Raycroft asking whats the deal, I'll let you guys know if he gets back to me. I included a message to Paul Beirne too. Unfair? Maybe. But so is being held hostage by our clubs best player on one hand and by our club on the other. I'm getting really really sick of this particular shit show.

Fuck this noise. i'm going to get a burrito. I've waited far too long for a competent GM and/or Coach at this club (several years now). Missing the announcement isn't going to harm me one bit.

This is really not the way I expected the off season to go. After the shambles last season ended and then the apology and the town halls and hiring the consultant it actually seemed for a moment or two like they were going to turn a corner.

Well, there's still time I guess....

Ya same. That's what makes all this so disheartening. If this turns into a disaster, I think we may be SOL in terms of hope until the team is sold. I hope the team can survive that long

How come our 'professional' media suck at covering TFC? I wish they had inside info and break stories like this one.


small fish, big pond.

after the Leafs, and general hockey news, all other sports are guppies.

I think TFC does get decent coverage - just for the wrong reasons

here we go:

http://www.canadiansoccernews.com/content.php?856-Earl-Cochrane-to-be-named-TFC-GM


Canadian Soccer News has learned that up until last week, Toronto FC's search for a General Manager wasn't going to fall very far from the tree.

Two sources, one a FIFA player agent with ties to Toronto FC and the other a respected member of the Toronto soccer community, confirmed to CSN that the next GM for Toronto FC had been slated to be the current Interim General Manager Earl Cochrane.

But now, the FIFA player agent says, that has changed in the last 24 hours.



"We had put forward a guy with former World Cup experience, and time at Manchester United and he hadn't gotten a sniff...We were told at the time that it was going to be Cochrane and a new coach who was coming in. That has changed in the last 24 hours. They're interviewing a new candidate with Cochrane now waiting in the wings."


The player agent indicated that he didn't think the Dwayne DeRosario situation was the only influencing factor in the shift in course, but suspected that it was a reason they were now taking a second look.

"They had someone express interest in taking a larger role just after Christmas and that is who they are currently negotiating with. Cochrane is still the first choice but they're hearing out the new candidate based on his experience and salary expectations."

The other source told CSN that prior to the latest candidate appearing, Cochrane's role as GM was going to be defined as more administrative - a president of sorts - and that the day-to-day operations and management of first team resources would be controlled by incoming coach Paul Mariner. Mariner is the current skipper of England's Plymouth Argyle and former assistant manager of the New England Revolution.

The agent, who declined to name the coach, stated that the choice to go with Cochrane was a financial one and that it was designed to free up more funds to be spent on the next manager of TFC.

Both stated that an announcement of both GM and coach is expected by mid-January at the latest and that they still thought Cochrane, despite the new suitor, would be the final choice.

CSN will continue to follow this story and will update as information becomes available.
