'Morning Batman... and may you all have a Happy New Year!
okay, so according to the star article it really looks like Mariner is going to be the next coach. I really hope his stay here is longer than 1 year and he's able to turn this ship around. I'm still waiting for the official word before getting somewhat excited about a positive move being done by FO.
“Paul Mariner has asked the club if he can be released from his contract of employment as he has another opportunity that he wishes to pursue,”
still sounds weird to me.Originally Posted by FluSH

mornin' D. Welcome back!
A coach, a warm body. I wil reserve judgement for now, but. . . if he is a dosciple of the MUIGHTY steve Nichol. . I am already a huge, huge fan. . .
wonder if he will sign my england kit? (the one that is so tight I could wear it as a head band. .
NOTICE: Wager with STB: OVER 2 shots on goal in the First half wins a Pint at HT.
Happy New Year everyone!
May 2011 bring Paul Mariner, Steve Nicol, and a successful season for TFC...
What's all this about nichol? Is there a rumor I'm missing, or is it just speculation since they have a history?

Wouldn't be surprised if TFC's new management team is in place by middle of next week. Paul Mariner and maybe Steve Nicol? GD about 19 hours ago via txt
Paul Mariner has just left Plymouth Argyle. Rumours in the U.K. imply he's Toronto bound. Could Steve Nicol be far behind? GD about 21 hours ago via txt
The SSG can be kept seperate from the discussion thanks...well, I should say HOT body.
This is a good SSG.
sportsnet tweet from yesterday speculated on Nichol ... so yeah, just a rumour at this point
To me that sounds more like Dobson hoping and speculating as well. It may happen, but I don't get the feeling that there's any insider information behind that.
I have to say....there is a world of difference in my mind if this is Nichol + Mariner vs. Mariner on his own. Might be stating the obvious but that is how I see it. Mariner and the Coch is a B team. You add Nichol in there and its an A- team.
I am just finding it difficult to believe that TFC can pull off getting them both, especially with all the leaks of late. Unless Nichol contacted them and threw his hat in the ring recently.
You're probably right, I'm just hoping he does have some insider information. Reports surfaced that an anonymous new GM candidate emerged recently and perhaps Nicol is that mystery candidate...

Paul Mariner as a head coach? Now?
..... about a year too late for my liking. I called for this in 2009. I will not rejoice as there is still lots of pieces missing in this puzzle.
This just goes to show that the fans of the club know more about the direction the club should be taking than the actual management of the club.
Mornin'
Happy New Year everyone

spot on jason
but you failed to mention that dero is not welcome back at tfc and now needs to be traded he is not fit to wear the armband or even red for that matter
wow 2016 and things are looking up --- come on you reds lets go
Have MLSE stated this...?
I'll take Dero back in a heartbeat...
Star players have holdouts and conflicts with Management all the time. Its not pleasant, its tough on the fans, but at the end of the day I want us to have the best possible roster possible...
There's a ton of players all over the world that I dislike, but would put them in a TFC jersey in a heartbeat...
Carts...

anybody have a link to the noon presser ?

with all due respect my freind
its not about like and dislike
as captain he crossed the line with the cheque signing stunt - as the leader of the team that should not have been done in public
this latest disrespect is unforgivable from a team leader/captain
also he is over paid now and the 400 k + he is not happy with could buy a few good players and even top up some of our existing squad who work hard and are really underpaid considering their contributions
wow 2016 and things are looking up --- come on you reds lets go
TFC's De Rosario trains with Celtic again
http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/articl...s-celtic-again
has there been an announcement about a press conference?

Exactly, its not about "like or dislike" a player - its about fielding the best possible squad...
Like Donald Trump says "...nothing personal, its business..."
Carts...
"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
I want DeRo back. Why? He's the best player we have.
Captain? No. He should not be the captain of this team.
De Ro is still one of the best, if not the best Attacking Mids in the MLS. I would take him back. All you have to is partner him up and let him play behind a good striker/CF and we have offence. Again I do not give a shit that he tried to play for celtic, I like the fact that Celtic would look at him.
