If Toronto makes the playoffs, do you still want Mo gone?
Dreams are a great thing to have.
The only way he saves his job is if TFC wins the MLS Cup.
Yes, and here is why.
He didn't build this team. It's Preki's team. There's a reason why Preki jettisoned so many players when he came in. They were bloody useless. Mo signed so many unnecessary players to guaranteed contracts and pandered to our every whim.
I want MLSE to just ignore what we have to say about players this season.
We're never going to get better if we're dropping and signing 9 players a year.
Absolutely. If we win the cup, Mo needs to go. If we win the cup you can pretty much point to Preki for that one. It's no secret this is his team he is building. I lost all respect for Mo when he let Preki dismantle the team he had built. Up until this year he was doing a respectable job. We were on our way to playoffs this year.
no chance we're making the playoffs
Yes.
Simply making the playoffs was not supposed to be our fourth year goal.
Yes.
I don't want Mo fired because of wins/losses this year, I want him held accountable for last year.
yes, because if they do, it won't be because of him (the team is now being put toegther by preki, not mo), it will be in spite of him.
I have wanted him gone since last year. This year is just gravy.
I want Mo gone even if we make the playoffs (pipe dream as that seems right now) but you just know if we do, it will be the thing that keeps him on for another year. It's the typical MLSE thing to do.
Yes, he is bad news for this club, not just in terms of the dismal results record for three (and a bit) years now, but also because of the poisonous relationships he creates with everyone from his own players and coaches to other GMs. Toronto FC now has a stink about it and a reputation that will take some time to get rid of, but it won't start to fade until Mo has gone. It's bad enough trying to get some players to Canada, we don't need that on top.
Put it another way - weigh up the positive aspects of Mo's tenure (there are a few, I admit) and then balance them against the negative. For me, the equation points firmly towards the door.
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
Yes, because if we get there at this point I don't think it has anything to do with Mo. The way the this season has been handled so far is a complete joke, and he has also made this team very undesireable for potential prospects given his revolving door of players.
make the playoffs? I still want him gone.
If we won MLS cup (I know, I know, hilarious, but bear with me) then you'd have to say that something's gone right, and if we're going to blame him for everything that's gone wrong, we'd have to give him credit for things going right, somehow. and he'd deserve to stay.
Do i think that will happen? not a fricking chance, so let's just get rid of him before he has the chance to do something ridiculous in an attempt to keep his job.
edit: though if he does end up staying, hopefully he'd be shuffled to some other position where he has less to do with the team on a day to day basis.

I think the important thing to remember here is that most supporters aren't mad at Preki or the players. Heck, even MLSE. It's Mo that we're done with - and regardless of what he brings to the table, or results we may get, we'll want him gone.
Wait long enough on getting rid of Mo, and you'll see Tom Anselmi added to the eternal shit-list of TFC supporters. Get rid of Mo now, and Tom will earn a LOT of respect from us. I wish someone would clue him in on that.
YES I want him gone.
No Jim Mora references yet?
Yes, but Mo will not be fired if TFC makes the playoffs...
Yes I do. At this point, if TFC make the playoffs it will be a fluke. I'd rather have a side that makes the playoffs on a consistent basis than to just squeak in if they're lucky. This is where Mo has gotten us now in his fourth year of his five year plan. Time for Mo to leave.
TORONTO FC, 2017 MLS CHAMPIONS!!! (Still the greatest in league history!)
Playoffs???? Be thankful there is no relegation......
If the MLS had relegation, we'd have fallen so far that TFC's next game would be in the Durham men's rec league!
If we go on a tear and win the Supporters Shield and go deep into the playoffs then a lot of us will be eating Crow and complimenting Mo on a job well done. This kind of turn around would of course mean that he had built a MLS team that could compete week in and week out. Hope he does this but it is unlikely based on what has happened previously.
If we do get into the playoffs then I think it would be fair to state that most fans think it'll by the skin of our teeth. If we get in and are blown away early then I do not think that'll be enough to save his job per se.
As well the Voyageur's Cup is coming soon and I think that if we crash out of this tournament there might be enough fan resentment out there for TFC to act and can him earlier than the end of the season.
Too damage has been done. Johnston cannot stay regardless.
We asked the exact same question last September.
Enough said.
Playoffs? Get off the crack.
Bringing in Preki is just ONE MORE REASON why Mo must go. Preki lost the team during pre-season and he's not gonna win them back. Cut losses (both these clowns and Anselme) asap so that we can have some hope for this season.
