    I just realized the perfect idea.


    Fire Mo and make Danny Dichio the first ever Player-GM. We'll be undefeated.

    Yes still belive in the five year plan..although after this season its getting close to being over:

    1) Year one 2007- we were glad to have a football team back after the
    demise of the NASL Blizzard in 1984.we didnt expect to win often

    2) Year two 2008-saw slight improvement on year one..progress, maybe
    not as good as some had hoped but improvement none the less,

    3) Year three-2009_ at the beginning of the season i said a .500 season would be great improvement and should get us a playoff spot..we are on course for both to happen..the canadian championship? not done,but they
    have made it hard fro them selves

    4) Year four 2010-Olympic and World Cup year. We could be missing a
    few players during this time, Wynne,Guevara, so Mo needs to address\
    this off season...year 4 i expect playoff action and a winning club record
    and finally a canadian championship and concacaf champ league appearence.

    5) year five-2011-if year 3 and 4 have not been met, time to clean house. from management to players...but thats still 2 seasons away.

    Seattle, Real Salt Lake, and Chivas USA seem to be doing fine as expansion teams that have achieved success within said 5 years.

    We can't just use this as an excuse to justify losing the Canadian Champions League to USL teams for two straight years, and having one of the worst striking corps in the MLS for going on three years.


    Mo has had no success in New York, why should we give him all of this time? If this was any other league in Europe, South America, or Asia, his ass would be fired. We can't just rely on the draft and the occasional 30-something from the British Isles.

    He must go.

    Mo and his agents have done some great things,
    but I just don't like the guy - so I'll try not to let
    my emotional take on it cloud the issue.

    I think the biggest consideration is his replacement.
    (until we have one, we can't do without a manager)

    I would like to see him gone, but not at the expense of putting someone worse in his position.

    Come on, you know you want Dichio to be GM. He's like the mascot/generator for this team.

    I'd prefer he was some sort of 'striker coach'. Certainly we have a few guys who could learn a lesson or two in how to aim a shot.

    Couldn't agree with you more Parky!!! Look at the leafs when they hired JFJ it was a custerfuck from the begining and then people complained when we couldn't help the leafs that he just made them worse. Now Burke is in place and they have a base to work upon. MoJo stays until we can get someone better qualified for the postion.

    Anyone else find it highly suspect that there's hardly a supportive word for the man in any message on the forum and yet he's winning this poll?

    ^ I have a hard time believing that there are even a few that still back Mo. He has done so little to deserve it. He has drafted some good players, but even that is somewhat overstated.

    It may not be suspect. I don't have an opinion about Mo one way or the other but I have zero faith in MLSE finding a better replacement in the middle of a season. (I know, I know people here think anyone would be better, but if they hire someone who doesn't understand the weird MLS roster rules it actually could be worse).

    Changing coaches and managers is the easiest way for ownership to act like they're doing something without really doing anything. What are the chances MLSE will do a proper search for a manager? They'll find someone fast who'll work cheap and for a short-term contract.

    Now, it's very annoying that Sigi was willing to leave Columbus after a championship season and TFC didn't even make an offer to him. Maybe he'll be willing to leve Seattle after the season ends.

    But at this point it's not worth hiring anyone who hasn't won an MLS Cup.

    Could be that they simply would rather not get into it with the Mo-haters, so they vote but don't comment?

    It is difficult to apportion blame in this league when there is so many factors. Mo is the one who signs the players so he is responsible to a point. The league puts restrictions on money being spent so they are to blame to a point. The coach decides the tactics so he is to blame to a point. The players are the ones out there so they are to blame to a point. It is difficult to say that one person/ group deserves more blame than the other such is the structure within the league. Who do I blame, well I remember a lot of people on these boards at the start of the season praising Mo and his signings, people saying we were going to do well due to our superior attacking players, a lot seems to have changed since then. Personally I appoint most of the blame to the players, the team isn't that bad from front to back, they are the ones on the pitch and they are the ones struggling to deliver. Each of them should take a look at their perfomances and realise it is not good enough. They are letting themselves down by losing to a team like Vancouver, they are letting the managment down who have put faith in them and they are letting down the supporters who spend their money paying the players wages. No matter what goes on behind the scenes or whether or not TFC has grass they should be above the USL standard, if they are not then they should not be in the MLS.

    all it takes is one frigging striker who can score one goal every 3 games in MLS. that's it!

    Mo the jacobite? Mojo? Mo who will never play for anyone but Celtic?

    There is the question of loyalty that will forever hang over his head.

    Not out of the question that he runs the Vancouver or Montreal team the day after he leaves, and they beat us.

    No way to figure this guy out.

    Of course we don't have protestant vrs. catholic supporters wars......here.

    I am still shocked that in all of Toronto not a single other ownership group was interested in an MLS team. They got a practically free stadium and a small epansion fee and still no one else in all of souther Ontario was interested.

    You can get on this endless trip of replacing of GMs and coaches but will it change anything?

    i agree with point,
    Seattle yoo cannae compare cos Seattle already had a team, but there signing of top players have hellped them.

    I warned everyone here on Mo from the get go. A little bird told me he's going nowhere & will soon be signing an extension.

    It is what it is, a heap of steaming shite, get used to it. We're being taken for fools.

    No, people here just don't think he has any power in the organization. We don't want him fired just to bring in another version of him. And then another and another.

    Unless that would satisfy you?

    All they have to do is sign a DP to prove that they're interested in winning. The manager is not standing in the way of that, the $$$ guys are.

    I heard the same thing that th red headed drunk is very close to signing a 4 year extension and we will get more of this crap.

    I figured out why is his face and nose is always red he is too busy blowing the boys at MLSE

    I dont think the $$ guys are to be honest... I think that its alot of other factors.. one thing MLSE doesnt do in general is cheap out.. I dispise them, but will give them, they dont tend to cheap out.

    Yer right, we dont need another Mo, but not thinking he has power is just silly, he prolly is 3rd or 4th in the heirarchy atm.. yer talking about the same people who gave John Ferguson almost complete power his 1st couple years.
