Does Tom Anselmi ever post here or would that be slumming it for him?

Paul, its nothing personal. But you know who you work for. You know what we're afraid of happening (following the Leafs mold instead of, say a successful team), and its year 3, and we're starting to see those things happen. Don't try and defend things, or even calm us down. Just give us something! Anything! All we ask for is hope as fans. And right now, this club looks pretty hopeless. This club was built on our wallets, all we're asking for in return for now is hope.

Don't let the door...
Paul's reaction is totally expected. When someone is being attacked as viciously (and correctly) as he and the FO have been on these boards, you are going to retreat to defensive mode.
he shouldn't be posting at all in that case
Wow. Thanks.
I wasn't aware of this. Very interesting indeed.

I'm not really sure what the TFC front office was expecting to find on the fan message boards?
I actually think a lot of fans were looking for something positive after what appeared to be a pure cash grab move of moving a league match up 2 months for a glamour friendly. A TFC victory in the NCC probably would have gone a long way to appease a lot of us after feeling betrayed by the club only a few days earlier. Now, its just another dissapointment.
Well, look on the bright side people, you can use your refund to the CCL Preliminary Round match to help pay for your Real Madrid tickets.
please sir, may I have some more?
WHAT???!!!

@mlsintoronto -- if you have only watched this game in horror, you should come a join us in the stands (or seats if you are not permitted by the guards to stand) and had the Chicago fans own our asses as we got taken apart. That is horrible, I can assure you.
I am certain a nice cold glass of champagne, and a creamed prawn vol-au-vent in the directors box must make the horror that much more bearable -- especially after watching the power point presentation predicting revenues from the Real friendly.
Our horror is a direct result of your organizations malfunction and MLSEs regard of Toronto FC as 'sports entertainment' -- where overheads must be minimized and fans are considered targets to extract as much money as humanly possible from until they cannot bear it any longer (what your lurking has unvieled).
If TFC were a successful and promising club, you would not have to come here to expose your personal horror -- but TFC is NOT successful, and NOT promising.
What are you going to do to fix the obvious problems we have...?
Oh I agree. It was probably out of frustration that he took the leap to post here and against his better judgment.
PEOPLE! Get ahold of yourselves, this guy isnt gonna stick around for 3 hours responding to a bunch of 'supporters' bashing him, the team, etc. That is not his job.
Leave him alone, or trust that he wont come back and youll no longer have that inside connection to the team.
If you're poorly governed, reactionary and lack the humility to see beyond the vitriol to the usual wisdom of crowds, yes.
Edited because I'm dumb.
boo fucking hoo

Convinent timing no?
For sure jloome. And like Timmay (I shouted that) says why would he come here?
Paul I used to think highly of you by coming on here and keeping us in the loop alot of the time. However what has happened in the last 3 years and this moving leauge games and catering to the casual fan with the Madrid game just showed your true colours. Your nothing but a fucking puppet like everyone else in MLSE. From Tannenbaum down to the guy scrubbing the toliets at Richo. I sick of getting fucked by this corporation and you can go tell your suit buddies to get there shit together or you might as well relocate this team to fucking Phenoix!!!
I'd also point out that his "I'll wait 36 hours...." comment is absolutely insulting and inappropriate to the gravity with which fans see this team's situation.
But for the conclusion of some basic business -- i.e. signing a scorer -- we would be leading the east and heading to the champions league.
Paul is launching a "strawman" argument -- an attempt to use an area of concern to deflect from the larger issue. He's doing his job. Unfortunately, someone isn't doing Mo's job. I'd suggest Mo.
Probably hoping that some shiny bauble will make us forget that for the second year in a row we're going to watch a Canadian rival taking on the best from throughout CONCACAF.
I Say We Walk Out On This Thread!
He should have come on here as a guest, read all the crap that we are saying, understood how mad we are, and then sent a PM to Jack, Rudi etc and said "Hey guys we are so sorry and we hear you and we have meetings on-going right now discussion next steps forward etc..."
Not to make fun of the kid, but just to show how the salary structure in the MLS is horrible. Doesn't a person working at Tim Horton's make more than him?
Don't forget for the second year in a row our season seats will be fucking hiked. And there drinking fucking champane and prevoking the supporters....yeah nice move. Fuck I'm so fed up with this shit.
^ Half of Vancouvers players have part time jobs because their salaries are so little.
AND YET THEY STILL MANAGED TO BEAT US.
Houston we have a serious fucking problem.
This thread should have been started with "I am sorry for..."
Going on the defensive is not a good way to placate fans and supporters, especially today.
But you got to admit, they played with a lot of heart out there. Beacause of that, I have respect for them now. I hope they play like this during CCL.
Get fucked.
You feed the fans a third rate bullshit team and then nullify our friendly tickets because you got a team thats too fucking good for us to come in?!
I cant wait for this fucking franchise to go belly up because of this bullshit, just to make you assholes at MLSE look bad.
You honestly think you can start shitting on the most loyal of your customers after just two and a half years of pathetic football?
You only poke your nose in when your feelings are hurt.
Your team cant beat the Vancouver Whitecaps and your organization has the fucking gall to pull this Real Madrid horseshit.
And never mind the consistently rising ticket prices.
The football is shit Paul.
You guys better start figuring out why it is Toronto FC is so successful.
Ill give you a hint; it sure as fuck aint because of an exciting product.
animated gifs make me smile, even when they're angry.
///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\
Oh I totally agree. Props to Vancouver for managing the win.
Last night the ant walked up to the elephant and bitch slapped him.
Of course it doesn't help that the owner cut off the elephants leg and the trainer beat him retarded.
