Toronto FC business operations manager Paul Beirne was a guest on the Hardcore Footy Show (Sirius Channel 98) with Brendan Dunlop, James Sharman and Kristian Jack on Monday. During the interview, Beirne said having two designated players at Toronto FC would likely be supported by the MLSE board, if they were to acquire a second spot and propose the option.

we're just skeptical.

until the player is on the field, playing in a game, I can't believe anything.
Plus it's even harder to trust in anything you hear in the off-season.

I do believe that Paul said : Having two DP's would LIKELY be SUPPORTED by the MLSE board

that's a long freaking way from our new stricker hitting the back of the net.

Now there's a good marketing idea!

You float the pitch up and down the St. Lawrence and do a tour of Montreal, Quebec City and the East Coast! Then take er down to Florida for winter training.

Now we just need a snappy name for the tour

I've heard the floating training facility will be an off-shore drilling platform off the coast of Labrador, accessible only by hot air balloon in the winter and auto-gyro in the warm season.
