He mentioned that the last few years were tough, since the post-MLS-Cup CCL loss, and that he was thinking about this decision all this year.
I'm also really concerned whether Manning / Curtis have the skills and the will and the support to hire a great new coach. And who knows, maybe MLSE didn't offer as much $ as they would have w/o the pandemic. Or maybe Vanney doesn't like Curtis too much. And maybe there were other things speaking against Toronto (like the prospect of spending a few more months apart from his family, due to ongoing pandemic issues). But that's pure guesswork. I didn't get any inkling from Vanney's own words that MLSE / Manning / Curtis or anyone held this up. I'm concerned some people here are making things up & going off on a tangent.
