I know this might open up a barrel of rumour inspired monkeys, but I just wondered who ya'll thought are the bad characters in our dressing room and why.

DeRo. He's from fucking Scarbourough. End thread.
I suspect it comes down more to a lack of leadership and authority from the coach as much as anything else. Put Nicol in charge of that room and the problems will likely disappear.
We are the Angry Mob, we read the papers every day
We like who we like, we hate who we hate
But we're also easily swayed
I suspect Brennan and Robinson, they've been captains since the start and we've never been competitive with them as leaders. Dero, Deguzman should be captains next year and Brennan, Robinson should be shipped out.
Very interesting thread. He is my thinking. For three seasons this team has been conceding late goals and has been inconsistent. Several former players like Cummingham are performing far better away from TFC. The roster has changed very frequently and so have the coaches.
The team line-up has changed but the mentality hasn't. Dressing room problems have to be players that have been here a long time. What else is consistent? MLSE teams (Leafs, Raptors and TFC) are all struggling so that points towards the ownership. Director of Football Mo Johnson has been in charge since 2007. Good dafter but has changed the squad too frequently and has built an unbalanced one. I'm guessing that he has too much infuence on the team starting line-up, tactics too and coaching.
There is a reason why the vast majority of English football supporters and head coaches over there hate the European Director of Football set-ups. Team managers claim that directors take away their control over players and confuse the players too. Many of the best coaches won't work at a club that have a director. For example many people think that Dennis Wise is what messed up Newcastle. They are playing with heart in the CCC now that Wise has gone.
Get rid of Mo and bring in a experienced head coach with a harsher mentality. Nice guy coaches hasn't worked for this team.
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
Paul B. I'm sure he's the 'bad character' at TFC.

The Ball Kids have got to go. You know they're the root of the problem.
"Failure simply isn't an option at this stage. TFC pushed its chips to the middle of the table when it splurged on Bradley and Defoe and reinforced its bet by making savvy acquisitions elsewhere. This collection of players is capable of delivering on the promises made during the close season. There are no more excuses available for TFC. Only success will continue the process of atoning for the past and establishing a higher standard for the future." FOX Sports
1 word -> Bitchy!
This thread could go wrong pretty fast. Don't want to call into question any player as a "bad character", since we don't know the entire story.
The only thing that I could think of, was maybe the players loved Carver so much, and didn't want to play for Cummins?
This might just be about style and temperment than it is about bad apples...I would say MAYBE: Vitti, Guevara, Brennan, Gerba...
I think it's the supporters groups and their unreasonable expectations like goal scoring and game winning that are the root of the problems at TFC....

Gerba
Wynne
Vitti
Guevara
Garcia
c'mon you Reds!
i dont know, vitti was one of the few players on saturday at New York who looked like he was hungry to score. He was only on the field a few minuted when he danced around 2 players and just missed the far post.
He also doesnt speak english so im pretty sure he doesnt have any verbal arguments with other players on the team.
