I dunno.

Pre-strike, post-strike there was a 10,000 person drop in attendance in one season. And it’s been a slow death steady decline of sorts ever since.We lost our only other Canadian team...

Oh absolutely, buy outs and those sorts of things will always be slow under our structure. I have no doubt there was some hand wringing after we signed Aketxe and VDW. Had we got those right, we...

I don’t think you can blame this on the board. I am sure there are other examples of teams in this league of teams owned under a larger sports conglomerate where things happen on time. We’ve never...

Uggh, that’s a bit of a gut punch but honestly maybe this is what Jason Bent needs to be taken seriously as a coaching candidate rather than a career TFC company man and an assistant.

I wish him...

That was me, serving hot dogs in my spider man costume (why settle for one side hustle?)

I agree, it’s a leafs town and everyone plays second fiddle. But let’s remember the Leafs got there...

^ My sort of gut feeling (pure speculation) on that one is he has personal issues that are at least partially holding him back. Bust is a bust but you sort of get the sense based on how they treat...

But isn’t that sort of sense of a bad signing heightened by the under performance of a group of collective players? Gallardo is saved by the fact the rest of the team is good.

Other players were...

This is the wrong way of thinking about it. The bigger name (maybe not coach but DP) widens the interest in the club exponentially. This, in contrast, as unenthusiastic a hire as they come and Armas...

I will say this. Curtis and Armas, from my observation, seem to better understand how to bring through young players than Vanney and company did.

Our mentality previously was short leash or get...

Surprise, surprise.

And once again the local press proves its lack of foresight (if true). I tend to believe it.

I’m less concerned about his pace and more concerned about his tendency to sit just off the backline and act as a single pivot.

Other teams just shut us down immediately when he’s doing that. He...

But at that point he was already chronically under performing. Huffing and puffing was the price of not walking the proverbial plank.

Honestly given his body type and such, I’m not expecting him...

Aka why my former assistant (friend?) is great.

Back scratching, this is.

I’d argue the biggest mistake we made was not giving Bez Manning’s job.

Some Twitter chatter that he’s not into pressing as much as he is outright defensive. Not sure if true but that in no way fits our roster or the players in our pipeline.

We need someone can at...

That is an insanely cheap price.

Guy is on $500k a year and is hands down one of the most underrated players in MLS. Mainly causes he played in the wrong market.

Why can’t we make moves like...

That’s crazy talk. We all know it’s Sacha Kljestan :)

Just look for the most obvious, underwhelming, (and probably American) player in the market that fits the bill.

Then wait three months while we close the deal at the pace of a career bureaucrat,...

I feel like I’ve said this about everything for the last 18 months only to be disappointed but... let’s see how this works out. I don’t love it but at face value, he has experience and hopefully...

But what is that, really?

While guys like Bent or Dichio actually go out and pursue a career and get hands on experience, Caldwell “occasionally” helps with a team that is basically never active...

He revels too much in that old school, get-stuck-in approach. It hindered him in his later years as a player and would certainly do the same disservice as a coach.

Zero interest.

I would probably ask Cheyrou first if we were going that route. In fact, not sure why he hasn’t had his name floated already.

I do worry with certain coaching candidates, MLS experience or not,...

I appreciate KJ and all but if I recall correctly there has been at least one instance where he was proved wrong and rather than admit fault he pointed to some tiny technicality. Something like “well...

I wouldn’t suggest Omar is the primary issue either and I think a trade would be more a function of player preference than a desire to push him out.

BUT

I don’t think he’s particularly top...

I feel he’d have to play a bigger role than Zavaleta does. Otherwise, not sure what’s in it for him in coming to TFC? He looks like an everyday starter in League Un.

He is also right footed....
