lol. I'll go on record and say I had lost a lot of faith in Vanney mid-season and I'll never make that mistake again.

There's no disputing his record in knockout games, games that really matter....

Robinson is a mid table manager. No thanks.

It's definitely not as high as 50%. And not because of anything relating to our team really... any team playing a one-off away game against a higher seed is going to have the odds stacked against...

They spent $11M USD and change on Pozuelo's transfer fee, plus his 3.8M salary...

If we had re-signed Giovinco to what would have likely been a 3 year deal, at say $5.5M, that's a $16.5M outlay....

Bez is so interesting to me. I can't really figure him out.

You go down the list and his post-MLS Cup win moves and extensions have all pretty much landed somewhere between mediocre and awful....

I think him lasting the season is almost a guarantee. The way this is shaping up our playoff chances won't be decided until late; don't think he'd be fired while playoffs are still up in the air and...

If we don't make the playoffs, Vanney is almost certainly gone. That's a pretty safe bet, especially now that Vanney has the players he wanted at his disposal.

If we make it past the first match...

Outside of him slapping Manning across the face, 0% chance Curtis doesn't last the year.

I would posit that generally any good coach needs good players to be a good coach.

Maybe Vanney can't elevate mediocre players as well as other coaches, but if all you have is mediocre players and...

Kaz, you refuse to give Vanney credit for literally anything, so it becomes impossible to take anything you say without a giant grain of salt. That is the basic issue here.

And I'm sorry but your...

Vanney has the Coach of the Year award wrapped up now I think. Paunovic and Pareja were the early contenders but Chicago has cooled off and Dallas has fallen off the face of the Earth.

Finalists...

So... we ever going to give him a new contract? He was in the last year of his deal, no? Still waiting for the announcement.

Jeez, tell us how you really feel.

The truth of the final is Seattle got incredibly lucky. They have a great defensive line so they made it difficult, but we couldn't finish our chances, they got...

This is a league of stars. I've always said this, but it's becoming increasingly clear to me as the star players get better and more abundant. You can find examples of this every season; we are the...

Credit to Vanney for having the stones to make a drastic change to try to get back into the game. To be honest, I'm not sure our goals had so much to do with the formation change as much as it had to...

I was actually agreeing with you Og (reading my post again I can see how it could be taken the other way). I think it's silly to assume Vanney can't motivate his players because he's soft spoken in...

And Nelsen was seen as a fiery leader that could get anyone going, but look how that turned out.

Truth is we don't know what the locker room is like so it's mostly pointless to speculate.

Even Bez, man. First thing Manning said was the defense needs to be improved, Bez made a bunch of defensive moves and we now have a top 3 defense in the league. Job done.

There's frankly nothing...

I don't understand why you feel as though Manning may wrestle with the decision to keep Bez (or Vanney) when the team is performing very well and in all likelihood will finish the season with a first...

Our cap situation regarding Moore is unknown. On the last players union salary release, he is listed among the salaries, but not among TFC salaries. We could be paying him but it's not counting on...

It's still over-emphasizing Giovinco's impact on the defense. I mean, we added a box-to-box midfielder, are now playing with a dedicated DM, and outright replaced half the back line and the keeper....

Yet last year Giovinco played every game but we still had the tied-league worst defense?

Oldtimer is correct. Giovinco has little to do with our improved defense. It's down to Bez's acquisitions...
