    As much as I hate what he did, I do kinda feel for him. I cant see there being any other club that would hire him. He will likely not find any other clubs to take him on as a manager.

    Hopefully he does find a McDonalds or something that will take him on... As long as its not in Ontario :P

    I hope Montreal hires him in couple of years.

    Hey...he gave it a shot. Hopefully it was his best shot. Time to move on for both parties.

    No need to feel sorry for the man. He's had a long career in football and it has been extended by management opportunities. He's made enough money in his life to live well. His choices include:

    Hopefully he's earned enough from TFC to afford an armed guard when he goes back home to Scotland.

    I'm not going to be a complete dick about it, I give credit where credits due.

    Time to look forward.

    Cheers to Mo for all his efforts to bring some success to this club. Same to Preki.

    Good on TFC to make this tough decision and prove that they truly are committed to bringing a winner to the supporters.

    Mo was our first ever coach and manager and no amount of commentary can change that.

    Best of luck in your new endeavours, Mo.

    He made a few nice moves, especially bringing in Dichio/DeRo and drafting Frei... so for that i'm thankful.

    I'm not thankful for the 4-year player/coach turn-style he implemented.

    Still, best of luck.

    Cmon guys. He did his best. The blame really belongs to the people who hired him. No need to get personal.

    He had a good start. He drafted Edu and brought in Dichio, Brennan and Robinson. He traded for Wynne. He traded for Cunningham.

    Too bad he couldn't build on that.

    Made some good moves, but his ongoing inability to address the club's gaping holes was his undoing. See ya, Mo.

    That's my feeling as well. I was never really vocal about 'Mo Must Go' or anything thing like that but also knew that a change had to be made and pretty much Mo knew this was coming. So, what more can be said.

    For all your failures, thanks Mo for building the teams that won two NCCs.

    One of the 3 blind mice could have built a team to win the NCC. Hell, even this year it should be something we dont have to work too hard for, since Vancouver will still be finding their place. The year after that is when things will require someone compitent though.

    I never doubted Mo's passion for his job, the organization, the city, or the supporters during his tenure. I appreciate his role in acquiring DeRo as well as the investment in an Academy and a grass surface at BMO Field. Ultimately, Mo lacked the long term vision and managerial acumen condusive to success. I wish him the best in his future endeavors...
