Oh I would suspect the intimidation factor for refs and players here is going to be large. Like, career-ending stuff if you manage to severely blow a call or cripple the league’s golden boy.

I agree with you, our youth scouting is cooked. Everything about the way we train and bring youth players through looks flawed. Jacen Russell-Rowe is the most recent example I have to shake my head...

The fact we were allowed to drift backwards and regress in the first place is concerning. But leaving that aside, my observation is that neither Hernandez or Manning have clearly articulated a vision...

Where is TMZ when you need them? I’d love a little guerrilla media to spice things up around here.

That was an interesting presser.



Manning looked pretty shell-shocked for the first few minutes. I came away with some sympathy for both him and Hernandez as people but their answers and...

Curious, what do you think the chances are they've fired Manning, but told him to clean the deck and be a management caretaker for a bit before he walks off and takes his severance?

In Manning’s position, I could see the board telling him he’s out well in advance and then he casually disappears with a sleepy off season press release.

If Bradley gets fired, we’ll have to see...

I agree. That entire article is an endightment of one man’s management.

You almost feel sorry for everyone else involved having to live with Manning’s incompetence.

I googled the article title and clicked the link at the top (though the star). Seemed to work without paying.

The issue we have is, nobody wants to write off this season. Not this board, not the people in management (for the sake of their own asses), and certainly not the players.

But we find ourselves...

That’s such a shame though and really a byproduct of the massive Armas face-plant and some other things.

I thought the early Pozuelo version of TFC was a fun one to root for. It wasn’t about names...

I agree. However, I think the other thing they are missing is credible board members / advisors providing counsel.

Someone with any of the teams, in this case Manning, feeds them a story about...

I played a season of youth football where we were resolute defensively but couldn’t score to save our lives. Ended the season with 2 wins - 3 losses and 12 ties. Finished second last.

Lesson...

Fair. But the way our franchise is managed doesn’t exactly feel like it’s kept up with the times. Like on paper we have all the fancy toys (analytics department, scouting, modern training ground) but...

League has changed a lot too. That cup winning RSL team (as much as I liked it at the time) might not even make the playoffs in todays MLS. Skill set these days is different

That such a low bar though. Maybe our perpetually asleep ownership group won’t realize it but the Italians are unlikely to sit through that sort of mediocrity

Yikes. But have to say, from the outside looking in, feels about accurate.

Ensco I feel like you are going to get your wish but Larry isn’t going to do it. If you look at Manning’s track record he never plays his last role of the dice. He leaves before that happens.

I...

He mentioned Ciman in addition to Piatti? I missed that … Dude is just downright desperate and grasping at straws.

There was a certain element of being over ambitious with that strategy, for sure. Now that said, playing guys out of position and hearing multiple snippets from players about “clear instructions”...

It’s almost like the strategy we said we wanted but Armas wasn’t smart enough to implement

Can’t say I share this opinion. Both Montreal and Vancouver have made adjustments in this environment and face equivalent circumstances to ourselves.

There is no “pandemic issue” that prevents us...

In true corporate lizard fashion, his primary objective seems to be delaying decisions until later to prolong his tenure and avoid being pinned with obvious failures.

I read that article as...

Yeah, I thought that quote was a crazy one too.

Is he admitting Solteldo hasn’t worked at 100x the price of Piatti? He’s basically asking to be fired himself saying something that stupid. Where...

This is a exactly it.

This team needs to be making noise in the market and be presentable / interesting to the press + fans. Not the soccer-club anonymous program Bill and Ali are running. The...
