Nice to have another CB. Young with accolades. Hopefully that translates into a starter.

Morning D, great to see us confidently acquiring pieces that we need. I think Payne being in charge has changed the perception of TFC league-wide.

I mentioned it a few days ago but I'll mention it again... anyone curious as to why Cochrane is all of a sudden the go to guy for comments about players and not Mariner?

...because Mariner is still in Bermuda on a scouting trip?

Surely this is an inappropriate thread to be asking this... but... I recently got an offer via email, from MLSE, for all MLSE SSH'ers. Free skating at the ACC, sometime this weekend. First we weren't interested, I deleted the email, wiped it completely. Now we were thinking, it might be fun to go down with the kids (if there are still any spots available). Might another season ticket holder still have the invitation email for the free skate at the ACC? If you could send me the link to the registration site via PM, that would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

I noticed this as well, from what I have heard Payne has worked with Cochrane when he was in communications in DC, Payne wants a unified message so Cochrane having that background is the man, I think we will see and hear Mariner when the team begins the season, or perhaps after the draft. It's all about the one voice not uncommon in the world of business. Perhaps Payne has noticed that Marnier can be a bit too forward. I suspect that Payne runs a tight ship at least that's what the word on the street.

Yeah it's better if Mariner doesn't talk.

So far he's thrown DeGuzman, Avila, Luis Silva, Adrian Heath, Frings, and Aron Winter under the bus in a completely tactless and classless way. Plus offered to meet up and fight with some fans after the game.

Best if he remains silent with this track record so far.
