No disrespect to him or any other player but I’m not going to watch 48 minutes of what I suspect will be 90% down-the-middle, sports figure retiring type commentary and 10% questions / comments that...

Maybe I’m uber cynical but I look at these quotes in the media (from any player) as micro particles of honesty hidden in mountains of bullshit. There is no incentive to speak openly about anything. ...

Feels like the thing that is always said publicly. What was his quote before this was sorted? Sort of painted a different picture.

Yeah, my bet is he knows at some level he can’t keep up like he used to. The Herdman conversation was probably a hard one too and probably outlined a role that respected his stature but was nowhere...

Sad they are pulling this together at the last minute under such a crappy backdrop but it’s the right thing to do.

Thanks for your service capitano!

You actually don’t have to do anything, at all. We can pay him, eat his salary as dead weight, and have him sit on the couch should we so choose.

Maybe they’ll find a way to trade and get an...

Yeah, fair. I think you either hit him out or you pay him knowing he’s not showing up. It’s already gotten farcical he’s been around this long while struggling out there. Although it would appear the...

He subbed him at half time.

^ Hilarious. When he’s someone else’s responsibility he’s beyond questioning. When the conversation comes to managing something they care about they get skittish. Telling.

I have no unique knowledge here. My thoughts are simply based on what I've seen of Michael Bradley, how he carries himself, and recent events in the club we have all read about.

The big picture...

I appreciate Bob is separate and if it was just that I could give the benefit of the doubt.

His own actions and history here are the reason why he has to leave.

Yeah, I don’t know what the dynamics were last time but this time he is more front and centre. Needs to move on for his own reasons (and the teams).

I agree with your overall point (condensing the quote above for brevity). Have given this plenty of thought and I think his presence at TFC has grown into a net negative. Root causes here are his own...

I don’t hold out much hope. But I wonder if the board turned to Manning and said “make the playoffs this year or your ass is finished”

If Dunfield sticks around, I’ll take it as Manning’s last...

I agree. But even leaving that aside, I don’t think there’s anything left in the tank. Unless he wants to accept a Cheyrou light role, it’s time to hang-em up.

That’s pretty gross negligence when you think about it. We sign a guy to a major contract and don’t give him a physical?

I think other teams maybe overlook him a bit because he gets targeted whenever we are defending corners.

Probably one of those things there experience and speed of thought is the most important...

Let’s be honest, it was a competition where nobody was allowed to have a platform to compete.

The midfield of Osorio - Delgado was superior to any Bradley inclusive option in years thereafter but...

I don’t know.

I have heard Molinaro tell stories about being taken to the woodshed by old TFC coaches for far less. I don’t think that issue gets overlooked when discussing running this bit. And...

It’s interesting to think about the planning behind it. I doubt the TSN crew just rolled over one day and said “we now do (brutally) honest punditry” So what was the impetus?

Too many crappy...

I thought Priso was showing real signs of progress under Vanny. Played clean games, was able to split the lines well and broke up the odd play. Needed to be a bit tougher on the tackle but overall...

It’s probably the best pregame segment they’ve ever done. It’s pointed (and original) analysis. Helps the viewer better understand the game too.

I wish they would do more of this stuff.

In fairness, I think you’re seeing an evolution of what the position is too. A really good DM now has an extensive passing range can play balls between the lines and over the top in addition to the...

I can't see MB specializing as an AM. Watch him in comparison to Cooper on the ball when deep in midfield. It's clear some things are missing.

We've purchased a luxury part in a league without...
