    Normally, I'd agree with a merging, but I think this will warrant its own thread. My view, FWIW.

    You are probably right.

    prediction:

    "Ive got a good lead on some players from Brazil. A couple of forwards, 2 defenders, 2 wingers.
    I'll be heading there in December,"

    Don't forget using the words very, very hard in bringing in these players.

    I'd also like to predict he contracts Gonorrhea while away on 'official business'.

    I have been backing Mo all season long, but with all the shit that's started to come out in the last couple of days about interfering in playing time, rats, posion in the dressing room, etc, and coupled with that pathetic fucking display on Saturday night, I am just about ready to call for his head with everyone else.

    He's got some serious questions to answer tomorrow. I'll bet he doesn't answer any of them.
    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

    Here's what he will say:

    "Looook, we wanted to win the Canadian Championship, we done that. We wanted to make the play offs, and we came within one game of making that 'n all. Loooook, we know we wernae quite good enoguh this season, and we'll work hard on it for next season. But loooook, we're gettin' grass laid down, we've brought in Julian, n Dwayne, and we've got some great young players here. So, loooook, there's a lot of reasons to be positive and tae look forward tae next season."

    But what about the rumours of a poisonous atmosphere in the dressing room Mo? And the fact that we have a seriously unbalanced squad? And no head coach? And that the outgoing head coach feels he was screwed over by the club? And the rumours of playing time being influenced from above and players not respecting training because of that?

    "Loooook, I'm not going tae sit here and comment on what goes on in the dressing room. That's private, n it should stay private. But looook, we've brought in Julian, n Dwayne, n we've got some great young players here and we can all be looking forward tae next season."

    But Mo, you haven't answered any of the questions we put to you, and what about the whole Dichio thing, what happened there and don't you think he would have been useful to have on the pitch on Saturday night?

    "Loook, we've brought in Julian, n Dwanye, n there's grass going down. And everythgin will be alright. See?"

    I want to hear the vets explain why they let the kids do the post game interviews. That shows a lack of leadership right there.

    If he says that, it would indicate that at least he understands where our needs are. Here's hoping.

    Mo will probably have already drank half a bottle of scotch before the media event even starts so he will be numb and not give a rats ass about anything.
    When the press starts to drill Mo about anything important i am sure Anselmi will step in to save Mo's arse...

    My One question i would ask Mo is why in Toronto there was a five years plan and Seattle made the playoffs in year OnE.... No excuses about field turf becuase they have the same shite as we do...

    I'm really tired of hearing about Seattle, to be honest. All season long, we've been comparing ourselves to Seattle about absolutely everything.

    I care about fixing our situation, not trying to play "gotcha" with Mo about Seattle's quick rise to success.

    I'll be shocked if anything worthwhile comes out of this press conference. I'll be upset if Mo takes the "we did it right but it didn't go our way" attitude. You didn't do it right Mo, we suck, please change that.

    Hey I have a good idea, lets turn this thread into the most negative, cynical gossip session we possibly can about what Mo will say tomorrow.

    Maybe it is to announce the new coach: a former head coach, someone who has MLS experience and is already in the MLSE organization.
