Only other team in MLS who comes close to TFC in level of fail decides that enough is enough. Their president has good business resume, but their new director of soccer, Jose Luis Real, has pretty impressive resume, incl a stint as Chivas head coach and runner up in Copa Libertores

Taking a page out of the Angry Earl book.

It will be interesting to see how well these guys do. They don't seem to have much MLS experience.

Rumours say Robin Fraser fired, and former Chivas and Pachuca manager Efrain Flores to take over as head coach.

Someone is really serious about rebuilding Chivas USA

I don't think people were complaining when Klinnsman was hired as a consultant and Winter was announced. Thing is MLS is a completely different beast and there's no guarantee for success for coaches outside the US.

I tweeted it to TFC when it came out hoping that Anselmi would see it.

Not sure if he tweets or checks the torontofc twitter account, but maybe someone within the organization would pass it on.

I think this was a worthwhile endeavour.

But looking back at it, if you know that you didn't have the soccer savy personnel in place which prompted ML$E to hire Klinnsman as a consultant, doesn't that scream out to you that maybe a President/GM was needed to run the club?

Basically it's an admission that we don't have the right guys in place at the top, but the way it was addressed was temporarily with a band aid consultant job.

ML$E should have hired a proper GM when this deficiency was recognized by them two years ago.

The TFC account is run by Asif, it's probably unlikely that Anselmi even knows it exists.
