Add me to the list that the next DP doesn't arrive until the summer, due both to Covid and the availability of more players during the summer transfer window.

There were some significant TAM deals given out by Bez under Manning's watch which required buy-outs within a year, specifically Aketxe and VDW. I believe it is these types of deals that contributes...

I think we will remain in the upper quartile of MLS teams when it comes to spending, but I don't see us leading the league again. I also believe that the lack of broad based interest in the club is...

A lot of people here are blaming Manning and Curtis for a lack of any big name DP signings. But if you look back at when Defoe, Seba, Bradley, and Jozy where brought in it was during the Lieweke...

Was that you? I think I bought one of your hot dogs back in 2018.

I maintain that Toronto is a lousy sports town that consistently supports only one team, the Leafs. As for the others, interest...

It was a requirement for the role. Apparently TFC offered the job to Zidane but he wasn't interested. I also heard that Marouane Fellaini, Kyle Beckerman and Carlos Valderrama all called Manning...

I just finished watching the Armas press conference on YouTube. There were 257 views and 8 comments posted. So for those of you wondering why the club is not pursuing a big name coach or DP you now...

Has Caldwell ever coached a pro men's team?

If the Argos would move out then they could close the north end of the stadium so it matches the south end. However they haven't been filling the place over the last few years so there is no...

On the Soccer Today podcast Rollins stated why not give the job to Jason Bent on an interim basis until they can find a head coach. This makes a lot of sense given the state of the world with Covid,...

This is how Greece won the 2004 Euro's with a very mediocre squad. Park the bus and try and win 1 - 0. It's also how Seattle won in 2016.

Looks like he has only managed at the youth level, or as an assistant. I don't get what the appeal is here?

The club does seen less ambitious since 2018, but I am not sure it's because of Manning. I think it is because of a lack of fan interest in the club. Attendance has been dropping since 2018 to the...

I also don't know much about him, but he has a winning record, won a Shield and knows the league, so I wouldn't have a problem either. Honestly I would rather the club spend money on a big time DP...

I don't think that's exclusive to MLS. Look how many teams Sam Allardyce and Harry Redknapp have managed. Given the byzantine rules of MLS, where you have $100k fullbacks in the same starting 11 as...

I think you have to be fair towards ownership in a league that is primarily gate driven, in contrast to the NFL and NBA where they have huge television deals. We are seeing the same thing play out...

This basically summarizes what happened in the 2020 season.

A few points that I want to state in response to some of the prior comments;
1) With respect to not re signing Seba, in hindsight that has proven to be the correct decision. If he is re-signed we...

I really don"t understand the disdain towards Manning and Curtis on this forum vs the absolute reverence shown towards Vanney. It's as if all failures are the fault of the former, and all successes...

I do too. He has MLS experience, did okay in NYC, and he is a big name that might help with European recruitment.

I would get another DP and another TAM. We have too many injury prone players on the wrong side of thirty as it is. We need to get younger and faster and healthier.

The best Christmas present for 2020 is for everyone to stay healthy or to get healthy.

The number of daily Covid cases back in late summer were about 10 to 20 percent of what they are today.

You truly have embraced the spirit of Festivus.

I just heard that today is Festivus. I would like to take a moment to wish a Happy Festivus to those of you who celebrate this iconic holiday. If you don"t know what I am referring to it probably...
