I want text updates LOL it's posted in the news thread but it's video and I can't watch it LOL

[mastermixer]

Yeah I heard he trash talks preki major, but I can't watch at work!!

[jabbronies]

Basically he loves the club. Has nothing against anyone in the club.

Seems to have beef with Mo and Preki.

Preki is a hard ass and it's known around the league for the way he treats players who makes mistakes. has doubt in his ability as a coach. No tactics have been implemented after 3 months of preseason.

Players in the dressing room do not like going to training.

Mo is a liar. Told him that he had faith in Ali, then turns around and shows him the door.

[Phil]

One question....If Preki comes in and says he doesnt want him (Gerba) does that make Mo the liar or Preki the bad guy?

[Ladies Love Julius James]

I'll break it down for you if you cunts support my blog: www.juliusjames.blogspot.com

- They sent me home at 5am from Charleston
- 9months ago I heard about TFC and some drama but I didn't know how nasty it could go, all politics.
- Training camp took a toll on Jim Brennan so in a way I'm not suprised at his decision
- The players hate to goto training
- We played 12 games, scored 3 goals and did no real trainings for tactics
- The politics have nothing to do with MLSE but instead off and on the field, individuals and the way they treat players.
- I told Mo I was injured and they felt I should have been performing better despite being indured.
- Mo threw me on waivers despite being aware of my injury and he felt I wasn't giving it my wall
- With Preki and Mo running your team you always have to watch your back. The players aren't comfortable, one bad game and you could be gone on this team

- There's no good impression of TFC from former players or the MLS
- Preki don't have a good reputation around the league
- They lack professionalism, not MLSE but individuals (mo and preki)
- "I don't know if I was a rapist or bad influence in the dressing room"

HAHAHAAH

- Mo Makes bad decisions
- Vancouver and MTL both have a better chance of making MLS playoffs than TFC
- It wasn't the players, they do well it's MO

Who lasts longer? Preki or Mo?
- Good question, when people see the truth, I put my money on both leaving at the same time.

- The fans are great, you can't envy European football in Toronto because they have the same enthusiam and passion.

- The club, the front office has been good to me, I have the most respect for them
- Total lack of respect from Preki and Mo
- I don't know what I did wrong especially to be treated like that
- I worked the hardest in pre-season and you could ask players

- Anytime Toronto want me, I'll be there.
- I'm hoping it will be soon and possible I'll be back here
- I think I'll be back here soon
- Happy to be back home in Toronto/MTL
- If I can't play on those teams I will go back to Europe and move on with my life
- I'm in great shape and I can't make quick decisions. I have to think about it and make a decision that leaves me secure
- I have a special relationship with Stephen Hart and the players and I love the tea.
- Hart called me and was in shock that I was cut, he said I was in the best shape he had seen and wanted to no what happened, he was completely shocked
- CSA is worried about what's going on TFC

lol...."they treat me like, i don't know, like i'm a rapist or if i have a bad influence in the dressing room."

[koryo]

I want text updates LOL it's posted in the news thread but it's video and I can't watch it LOL

Same. I would greatly appreciate it if someone posts key points here.

Thanks!

[tfc2007]

Yeah he really does, he also is talking about how most of the players, "80%" are not happy, and jimmy was one of those guys.

[Nuvinho]

Who is next to come out and talk about the bad situation at TFC. We know Jimmy and Danny can't, else they would get canned. Robbo? Speak your mind please.

[fetajr]

"they treat me like, i don't know, like i'm a rapist or if i have a bad influence in the dressing room."

tabloid media will spin this as "Rapist Ali.G left TFC due to bad influence in the dressing room "

[jabbronies]

hey Julius...I merged all of your posts into 1.

[Darlofletch]

thanks for the update, that's a pretty depressing situation, let's hope it's just a disgruntled employee exagerrating things. if not, yikes.

[Ladies Love Julius James]

Thanks Jabbronnies LOL I had to jot everything seperately so i don't forget.

[arbogast]

Yeah he really does, he also is talking about how most of the players, "80%" are not happy, and jimmy was one of those guys.

Well, I gues we know Kristian Jack's source for the Jimmy bust up rumor (that Jimmy lambasted at his presser), after all KJ did say that he heard from a "former teammate" that Jimmy was pissed. So if this is true, is Jimmy a liar like Mo? I gues they make a great couple.

[Keyman]

HAHAHAHAHA HOLY SHIT
this is a hilarious interview hahahahaha

[Shaughno]

LOL CSA is worried about TFC? Worry about your fucking National team and your own goddamn organization first! LOL

[Keyman]

"Football is the biggest lie"

[Oldtimer]

Robbo was to gentlemanly to share the truth. DD and Jimmy B. have positions with the club. Many thanks for Ali G. & KJ for exposing the truth.

If we had any doubts, both Mo and Preki stand in the way of any future success for this club.

[Suds]

when KJ asks about players being happy and his thoughts of Preki a Gerba answers "just look at the players when they show up for practice" ... that does not sound good at all

Gerba clearly has issues with both Preki and Mo.

[tfc2007]

I think Ali Gerba is one of the most honest footballers. I really dont think he said any of this out of spite, more just fact.

[ginkster88]

LOL CSA is worried about TFC? Worry about your fucking National team and your own goddamn organization first! LOL

TFC has cornered the market on National Team and possible future NT players so I'm not surprised they're keeping a close eye on the organization. It's in their best interests to worry about their morale, development and safety.

[FluSH]

Wow!

Drama

[rocker]

finally a player says what's happening. Gerba has balls. Robinson never had the balls to say exactly what's happening.

Interesting that Gerba says MLSE and the office people are great. But he focuses on Mo and Preki only.

[Ladies Love Julius James]

I think Ali Gerba is one of the most honest footballers. I really dont think he said any of this out of spite, more just fact.

I agree my impression was that it was all the truth. He seemed like he loves MLSE but hates Preki and Mo. Ready to move on

[Nuvinho]

how can he come back to play for TFC, MoJo will be here til he dies...so no way he comes back.

[Shaughno]

TFC has cornered the market on National Team and possible future NT players so I'm not surprised they're keeping a close eye on the organization. It's in their best interests to worry about their morale, development and safety.

While I agree, they have many, MANY more pressing issues within their own organization that they should be focusing on IMO. Until they get their shit in order, it doesn't matter what or how the NT players are feeling/doing.

[Nuvinho]

finally a player says what's happening. Gerba has balls. Robinson never had the balls to say exactly what's happening.

Robbo has some backhanded comments on twitter all the time.

"I think they need to change the people who make the decisions both on and off the field." - Ali Gerba


This will now be my signature.

[Parkdale]

finally a player says what's happening. Gerba has balls. Robinson never had the balls to say exactly what's happening.

robinson probably has a lot more to say, and it could do more damage to his career.
Robinson is still playing in the MLS, gerba is not.
