Wheeler sure got it right:
It doesn't matter what players Johnston brings in -- without a coach with vision, TFC is being blindly led.
If Johnston is unable to fill this role, it should be questioned why he remains in his current role.
It took MLSEL far too long with the Leafs and the Raptors to recognize that change at the top was needed to develop a culture of success at field level. It's in process on the hockey and basketball sides, but most would acknowledge the blueprint is in place for future success.
The culture with the soccer team is not right. A playoff berth this year would not have changed that.
If a cultural change isn't made with the club, it's time to go cold turkey.
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto

According to Cummins, his players wouldn't listen to him when he pleaded not to fall back too deep in the last 20 minutes. Players turtle into a defensive shell when they don't have confidence in their system. The same goes when players have little faith in their coach -- they mute out instruction and defend at all costs. It's predictable, without a defined system panic will set in. "
Wheeler is spot on!
mornin d
happy thanksgiving to all enjoy the day
wow 2016 and things are looking up --- come on you reds lets go
Wheeler is right once again, thank god we are getting a few people in the mainstream media who know the game and are not afraid to call it like it is.
but let's look carefully at what Wheeler says.. he praises MLSE for bringing in new leadership at the Raps and Leafs.... and if you noticed, the leafs are last in the league again and the Raps were miserable last year.
What's my point? that creating successful teams isn't easy, even for respected leaders like Burke and Colangelo.
Neither Burke nor Colangelo have "developed a culture of success at field level."
While TFC has increased points every season....
