This is ML$E. You have to ask?

Let's just say their reputation isn't as the world's most generous employer. :p

Why do you say that? I'm no fan of corporate ownership but fact is MLSE is always rated as one of the top employers in the GTA. I don't think thats a fair statement you make.

Bgnewf and Armen have to fight for the death for the hearts and minds of the forum! Aaaand GO!


And oldtimer- I actually think MLSE pays its offield people really well. Look at the front offices of the Leafs/Raptors/TFC. All have at LEAST 1 assistant who in almost any other team would be the big boss (Nonis/3 or 4 others/Stefanski/Mariner/rongen. Plus they pay their marketing and sales people pretty well (they know where the moneys made). I'd expect it to be a pretty sweet gig. Good luck to both of you, hope one of you gets it.

This is the first round. the top 15 vote getters go through plus 35 others as chosen by TFC.

The second round is another round of voting I believe but here is the key thing as seen in the rules:

Toronto FC shall not be obligated to offer the Position to any Applicant. Toronto FC retains the right to offer the Position to any person via any application process.

For those that have voted for me thank you and I hope that you consider doing so again as the contest allows people to vote daily between now and March 2nd.

Many of you know me either personally of through my blog and simply put this is why I want this gig. I am stuck in a crap job that I am not happy in. TFC in the six odd years its been around has been the primary reason why everything outside of my work life is as great as it is. I met the girl of my dreams through TFC (Our first date was in section 113!) I frankly would not have met and call "friend" as many of you as I do without this team being around and if I can either give back to the TFC community or relate in some small way the passion I have for this club to others through this gig then I will be just about the happiest guy out there.

And if they want to pay me for the pleasure? All the better!

Actually OT is correct in this regard. It is well known in several industries that MLSE is an"entry-point" employer where you start your career to get experience but once you have it you move on to other employers to actually get paid.

weird because it was owned by the teachers pension fund which typically usually paid very competitive salaries (look at something like caddilac fairview)

I have friends and clients that are employees of MLSE and I have not heard anything particularly special about their benefits. Pretty much the same you'd get at any organization of their size in Toronto. As for how they treat employees, neither have I heard complaints or any particular praises. It does seem like a fun place to work but I get the feeling that has a lot to do with the very young average age of their workforce and the industry they are in.

OTP were major shareholders, not operators of the business beyond being on the board of directors. They do not get involved in employee relations or comp.

I have to agree with Roogsy.

I have a friend who used to work in the MLSE TV/Media/Web department and I have a friend who currently works there as well.

I know what both of them made in terms of salary and it is WELL BELOW industry standard. The only reason they both went there was to get sports experience. The benefits are not bad, but as Roogsy said, they are not better than similar sized companies in the GTA

That and the fact he could not spell some of the easiest words in the english language properly. tryna? really? You couldn't be bothered to write trying to? if this guy gets the job I will have a hard time trying to understand his articles on the team and would have to decipher the text. I do that already with FC Porto stuff why would I want to do that for an english football team? I want someone who can spell and write properly. we have a decent education system in Canada yet we churn out this crap. My generation is going to be the one that destroys the english language.

I have not gotten any spam since I started voting for Armen yesterday. and That just completely makes me rage lol. I don't mind using it if its for texting. However something professional like interviews and other scenarios it should be banned. when I was in high school, teachers would freak if they got an essay that had that type of language. I made a mistake of typing a word in the text format in an english essay once. It got a huge red circle and a giant question mark beside it. I learned my lesson after that. (Theres my story for you Oldtimer :D)

Also the fact he uses the Montreal name in there, makes a mistake on the title, and does not even have a Toronto FC jersey or mention anywhere. His application sounds like hes applying to play for Toronto fc not cover them. Just my to cents.

Yeah, and even referencing the Impact in the headline for his vote page is a sin. Not to mention the fact there's no indication he's ever stepped foot in BMO Field.

Thankfully the job is not guaranteed to the winner. This guy doesn't stand a chance once he gets past the initial voting.

But he takes the spot of probably a legitimate candidate....which is troubling. The process of a popularity contest is always flawed....but anyway....hopefully the 10 extra entries that MLSE pick will be taking solely based on reviewing ALL entries that have been submitted.

Sorry guys, but the "contest" is probably rigged:

http://www.canadiansoccernews.com/content.php?2829-Who-are-ya


Which brings us to the curious case of Stacey Anderson. Overnight, the pretty blond went from being buried deep down the list of entrants to standing alone at the front of the pack. Many of the candidates she flew past last night have spent four days developing networks of support and have been the subject of a great deal of discussion on Facebook and Twitter.

Anderson, meanwhile, has next to no social media presence. She has a Twitter account (https://twitter.com/#%21/staysay_)with just 24 followers. Her Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=503588387) does not list her followers, but outside of “liking” Toronto FC there is no mention of the club or contest in her timeline.

Additionally, a look through the #TFCDreamJob stream (https://twitter.com/#%21/search/tfcdreamjob)reveals no mentions of her. She is not being talked about by anyone. Considering the contest is supposed to measure social media engagement that’s a bit odd.

No one in the TFC supporters’ club community knows Anderson. Without evidence to suggest otherwise, it seems that no one in the extended community of TFC support knows her either. If we didn’t know any better we might think she was a bot!

All we do know about her is in her contest profile (http://apps.facebook.com/tfcdreamjob/contests/189938/voteable_entries/44485531). There we see a professional quality photograph that reveals a woman that is every bit the vision of a traditionally attractive, all-Canadian girl. So, she looks the part of a television presenter. On its own that might not raise many eyebrows, but then we see where she works.

At RealSports, the MLSE owned sports bar.

Asif & Jon - if you're reading this you know that you can't let this overnight contestant win, or it will shatter any legitimacy this contest had going for it.

maybe the contest isn't rigged, but the optics sure make it look like it was.

and what ever happened to contests that are not open to employees and family? If someone on the MLSE payroll wins this contest, your plan to engage the fans will backfire tragically.

Not sure why everyone is surprised that either the ML$E fix is in or that there are 'candidates' cheating. People should take everything this company (or any company) does with a grain of salt. It's all about money, you as a person mean less than nothing to them and their integrity is only important so long as they can use it to make more money.

(and yes, I am grumpy and bitter today)

I find it hard to believe that MLSE conspired with the people running this contest to make sure one of their BARTENDERS got the most votes. If they were going to rig it, the much easier route would be to make her one of the 10 hand-picked contestants.

But really, it's not like this girl is already working in a media capacity at MLSE. Her job right now has nothing to do with what the contest is for. Why would they rig it for a random bartender? You guys have some serious tin foil hats on.

Not that I am for or against this girl who has magicially jumped into the lead....but what would you be protesting or boycotting?

This is a contest run by TFC, but does the team on the field run this contest? Not sure what a boycott or protest would accomplish. If the contest is rigged, which I could care less...it doesn't change the 11 players on the field.....just my 2 cents

The contest started as a hunt for a TFC 'superfan' but has now quickly just become a case of 'who has the most facebook friends' (and pretty blond girls tend to have more facebook friends than us regular joes).


but really... who cares. The contest is filler. It's a side show. It's 99% irrelevant. It's a slow news day. It's way to get people talking on social media about TFC, but that in itself isn't very important.

Now back to the main topic: curry on top is way better, you get much more of the aroma that way.

It's kind of the point behind the contest to get a job with TFC's marketing department. Show how well you can market yourself through social media and TFC gets a ton of free hype in the process. (well almost free, they need to pay whoever came up with this idea and whatever they are going to pay the winner) The best personal marketers get into the running for the final round.

But I get your point, it's more of a popularity contest than anything.

If Armen had blonde hair, bigger boobs, and a rocking body I would vote for him. Sadly, all he has going for him are his writing skills, education, and personality. No chance in hell I'd vote for that guy. :D

I'm sure they are - with a bit hype thrown in. Note that the 5 most popular entries are selected to move on to phase 2 as well as 10 handpicked by TFC. TFC then have sole discretion to select the person to conduct actual interview and win the dream job.

The contest is marketing from TFC's perspective and gives an outsider a tiny shot to get the job...

ALL FOR ONE! As a Bartender at MLSE’s Real Sports Bar & Grill for the past to years, I’ve learned to eat, breathe & sleep sports!! Although I do quite enjoy all of MLSE’s sports teams, there is nothing like the feeling you get while at a TFC game. Sitting in the sun (or sometimes the rain!), chanting, stomping feet, sporting RED & of course my TFC scarf while sipping on a Carlesberg beer, I know it’s going to be a good day! The players are full of talent, the fans are loyal, the stands are full, flags are waving and horns are blowing, I want to be a part of this team!!

I keep asking about the horns...

and what bartender can't spell carlsberg??

she can't spell...she imagines hearing horns...lies about drinking carlsberg...but she's blonde with a fuller chest...so she's dominating the contest.
and i should add that she's already on the MLSE payroll.

Armen, Bobby, Tim, you never really had a chance.

edit, i see bobby has surged into the top 4.
he might pull it out.
Armen and Tim are both still respectable.
but i do think the game was rigged before it even started.

I am the first in line to rag on MLSE when it's appropriate, but I don't get the negativity in this marketing event, and yes it is a marketing event, surprise!

They could have simply hired someone without telling anyone and done it on their own. Instead they opened it up and made all of us participants.

And the bad side to that is they didn't do it exactly how we wanted it? What responsible corporation takes the hiring control away from themselves and gives it to the customer?

The people that I want to "know soccer" are the managers and playing staff. I could care less if Paul B and his peons are soccer literate or not.

I don't think you have to worry about splitting the vote: you can vote for two or more different people each day. E.g., vote for Bobby, Armen, & Tim each day. (Right?)

The way it works best is if you each get a couple of your FB friends to vote as well. I.e., I bet Fake Stacey has lots of FB "friends," and those "friends" have lots of other friends, etc. As mentioned, social media hype...

Hi folks:

I posted this on my Facebook wall earlier this evening and I thought that I would share it here. Hoping that some of you might see your way clear to casting a vote or two for me between now and Friday. Cheers:

I know that this TFC Dream Job Contest that you have been hearing so much about from me in the past days might strike you as perhaps really annoying considering you are hearing about it every single day. The reason I am on about this so much is that simply put this job would be an absolute amazing thing for me. It would make me just about the happiest guy you might ever know. You see I already have a wonderful woman, a brand new dog, a great home, the greatest family ever and countless people I can call "friend" in my life... and the only thing in my life that I think needs improving is my work life. Going to work, & actually getting paid by the very team that I love like no other and also having a chance to actually share the passion I have for this team and this sport with thousands of others would be an amazing honour. Now Friday at Noon the first stage of the contest closes. TFC will be choosing ten people to move onto the next stage along with the top five finishers. I am just outside the top fifteen now. Even if I don't get into the top 15 there are no guarantees but it might make my case a bit stronger if I finish strong. So between now and Friday at Noon Eastern Time (1:30 PM in NFLD!) I need you all to vote once per day if you can spare the time to help me move up the rankings. Here is the link: http://bit.ly/bgnewfTFC (http://bit.ly/bgnewfTFC)

Armen, sorry to see this. I should have warned earlier but I didnt want to be a prick. This is a PR move. I know MLSE's social media director, and hes for lack of a better word a greasy mother fucker who trades in peoples hopes. If they actually were looking for a qualified person there wouldn't be a contest, there wouldn't be votes, it wouldn't involve hyper public auditions and it wouldn't be on facebook. It'd be based on a track record, on qualifications and potential, the same way anyone would be hired for any job. Asif wasn't hired that way right? Hopefully they keep you guys who really applied, love TFC and have serious talent on file (like you and also bgnewf). My personal 2 cents is that you guys will be better able to pursue journalistic careers from outside the club than within, no matter what kind of awesome access they provide. If you guys keep writing and keep being entertaining and keep getting readers, you'll get where you want to go. Bill Simmons interviewed President Obama this week, anything is possible. If I see you at the CCL match I'll tell you a few success stories from the basketball blogesphere. It's amazing how talent and hard work pay off more than connections and inside info in the internet age. Entertainment and passion are worth so much more than access

When this person is going to be front and centre in a number of TFC presentations, both live, on TV and in the stadium, you simply don't want someone who is ignorant of the game. It will eventually drive us nuts the way that Lara bimbo creates instant click-offs the second she opens her ignorant, actress mouth on Sportsnet World

However we probably don't have any real influence in this decision. Of course the club will be taking the Mike Bossy draft day approach with this hiring.

The NY Islanders management were in a furious debate about who to draft first overall the year Mike Bossy was eligible. One top scout said another player had to be the pick because Bossy didn't show much defensive skill. Another scout piped up, 'We can teach defence, we can't teach a two-way player to pick corners the way Bossy can.' Four Stanley Cups later, the right decision was obviously made.

It shouldn't be hard to teach some ravishing, nouveau babe about the club's brief history, or simply spoon feed her lines to recite by rote. What the club can't teach is proud, perky heavers, a ripe, round rump and a tumbling, tousled mane of hair.

Pick your chick. It's style over substance every day of the week.

Tell us what makes you the best candidate for the TFC Dream Job:Since moving to Toronto in 2010, I have been a big fan of TFC. Watching a game at BMO field is something every Torontonian should experience…and I pass this message on religiously! Having lived in several different cities across Canada, I have an extensive social media group of friends. Many friends in different cities were not aware of Toronto FC; yet since the TFC Dream Job began, I have had continuous feedback regarding the team. I now have many friends that can’t wait to visit and see what this experience is all about! I am EXCITED that I have brought such attention to the team, in just entering a contest. I am confident that my contagious team spirit will speak volumes across this city…actually, across this country! I am ready to get in front of the camera and bring all of TFC’s amazing fans the latest and greatest info! My attached video will give you an introduction to just how fun, goofy and excitable I can be! Choose me for TFC’s next host…I promise to keep you entertained!!

This guys description is also quite funny because it is filled with so much incorrect information

bahahahaha. WOW you're right :picard:
Like.. that's just shameful that this guy has more votes than Bobby right now.

to anyone who hasn't read this:

"Marching down from Croc Rock. Chanting “TFC!” with thousands at the beautiful BMO Field. Booing David Beckham and the LA Galaxy. Watching Plata head the ball from the 18 yard box, perfectly placed in the corner of the net. The passion and joy that I share for the Toronto FC is certainly unmatched by any one else."

just popping in to say that i just watched that stacey chick's video. wow. two things - she's terrible and i can't handle her voice and that smile. and this is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too slick of a video for some random person to have done (no offense bobby - you have a great video..but her's looks like a big budget video)

I couldn't help but laugh at garys video. it felt like i was watching him do an interview with the owner of the football factory rather than convincing me why he should get my vote. I like bobbys video because it was simple to the point and it explained to me why I should vote for him.

Gary's video was just a trainwreck in my opinion hope he doesn't make it to the next round.

Since I have way too much time I watched all the finalists' videos,

I liked Dannielle Emanuele, Vincenzo Liburdi, Rachel Bonnetta, and Faizal Khamisa. They all seemed comfortable in front of a camera and most of them had at least some TFC knowledge. Faizal in particular looks like a dude who would post on this forum.

Loved the Bobby Brasz clip. Respect what he represents and comfortable that he's into the game and the club the way we are.

Liked Keaton Robbins clip. Straight up reporting of an event. Won't vote for him, but liked the honest approach.

Impressed with Krista Cellucci's skills. A bit raw in delivery, but clearly fit and knows the game from playing it. Only entrant to plant one under the bar from 30 yards out in a real game.

Alarmed at the number of applicants seeking refugee status from Windsor, Ont.

Otherwise, we have a make work project for broadcast industry strivers who clearly don't know TFC or the game at large but are willing to fake it as a stepping stone to bigger and better things. Nuh Uh. Not buying it.

Didn't find the very slick production behind a number of these videos to be convincing. The lighting in Stacy's video clearly a desperate attempt to overcome her unfortunate resemblance to Sarah Jessica Parker.

Thats such bullshit man. That stacy woman has no personality behind the camera I dont think she has what it takes to be a good reporter for tfc. Also her voice is quite annoying most of the time.

Also Found garys video hilarious especially after I saw his little blurb that didn't make sense. Plata scoring in the 18th min with a header? at bmo field. Was this guy even watching the game? and would I want someone who is careless taking are of the media stuff for TFC?

Looks like *gasp* MLSE wasn't fixing this competition so that a bartender who happens to be one of their hundreds of employees would get the most votes, despite the fact that the most votes doesn't mean you get the job.
(sorry, had to get that out there)

Good to see most of the final finalists seem to have at least some prior TFC knowledge. Go Bobby!

I don't think thats what she meant. To me it seems that she wants to go to the game with random fans and film it. Pretty much MLSE using supporters for advertisment again.

Bobby does some of the BMO aesthetics, basically behind the scenes things the fans would like.

He was the one who put Canada flags at BMO Field, and during the national anthem, for example.

sorry, but the social media skillz suck. I thought she was suppose to be interactive with the fans. When it was the final 15, I found 12 of the 15 on twitter. Sent all 12 tweets congratulating them (wanted to see if they were social with the fans and stuff)...10 of the 12 replied...you can guess who 1 of the 2 who didn't reply was (bobby was the first to reply...within about 5 seconds).

when it was down to the final 5, she was the only one not tweeting about the CCL/tfc games...until she got the job

so comes the question, is she really there for tfc? you have to question the motives thats all...hey but if she wants a supporters experience, she should get santos laguna game off and join us in 112/113; thats the biggest game left on our schedule this season
