Nice one! I'm surprised this board doesn't have a pitchfork smilie... :D

Since nobody else mentioned it yet, I'll do the honors...

So in about 2 weeks then? ;)

Actually I think they're talking about Steve Cherundolo.

OK thanks for confirming.

This should probably all go in the "Vanney steps down" thread, but anyway...

This is gold, from TFC's media guy:

Although that would make sense, and may still happen, that's not actually what the CBC article says. It just mentions there are connections, but I don't believe there's any confirmation of the other...

The draft is pretty meaningless these days. Why are they using that as their deadline?

Yup that's old. :D NASL does feel like a different life for me. I saw Pele play for the Cosmos, live in the old Giants stadium. I remember him scoring a nice PK in the game. We drove down from the...

Is it just me, or does that seem like a longer than normal list of very well-known MLS names? In years where things were going better financially, would some of those perhaps have been re-signed...

I admit the game viewership stats for MLS / TFC are bad. But there is definitely also media bias for & against specific sports, for example even when TFC was selling well. There are certain guys who...

Oh I missed the closing of the other thread, would have liked to give a big UP YOURS to 2020 beforehand... :D

Yes it's difficult in this case, but I've seen a significant pattern from James17930, concerning a bunch of different stories over time.

I have no strong opinion on this topic yet, haven't thought or read enough about it, but I find it pretty amazing that you seem to take the management position on pretty well any topic concerning TFC...

That could be, but I just found it odd the work of Kitman Labs was never mentioned again, after "sports science against injuries" was hyped up at the time of the above article (2018). With other...

I certainly don't & didn't feel absolute reverence towards Vanney. I thought he was a risky, fairly inexperienced hire for a cranky fan-base & long-troubled team. His inexperience was certainly...

As others have said, I wish we still had any journalists that can ask the tough questions of TFC. I've posted about this a couple of times previously: WTF happened to the sports analytics company...

Merry Christmas to all that celebrate! About to have my wife's Italian-Canadian traditional lasagna, Caesar's salad, and tiramisu. Certainly looking forward to a better 2021!

"200 pages" is another Ali Curtis meme like "in two weeks." A bit of a joke, and a bit of truth in both. The "200 pages" was also mentioned when Ali was hired by TFC.

Festivus is the perfect holiday for this forum! Let's all air our grievances!

Maybe Curtis showed Blanc his 200-page master plan.

Two weeks.

Then another two weeks.

Then... :D

Potentially sucks for Ciman, given his history, even if it makes sense for TFC. I could see him retiring if Austin takes him, which is doubtful anyway.

Piatti is probably thinking WTF is this. I...

Wow I missed that Frei interview as well, that sucks.

I know it's hard to cheer for Columbus, but consider what they went through, especially with the Precourt shenanigans. This win was a good FU to close that chapter, and also to end their run in the...

I thought Osorio, Delgado, Pozuelo and Piatti were all overplayed, considering how many midfielders we have overall. Pozuelo was pretty dead in our playoff game.
