    If Winter stays as director of soccer and De Klerk as coach I guess that is essentially a lateral move. If they combine that announcement with DP signing announcement that would be ok by me.

    Maybe they mean that despite the weather, Winter is really out and it is Summer so please come down and buy our $20 beers?

    Could they please make up new job titles for these guys so we don't have to hear that TFC has had, what is it, 7 coaches in 5 years?

    I suspect the same. Player development.

    Is there any advantage to actually announcing it, though? Couldn't it be sold as some kind of minor internal changing of roles that doesn't need a press conference so we don't have to put up with all the talk we'll hear about TFC having yet ANOTHER head coach....

    If de Klerk has been coaching all along shouldn't people be pissed at de Klerk instead of Winter?

    Possibly an effort to manage workloads? Apparently Winter has been working 16 hours/day from the start.

    Any chance they meant "Anselmi" out? The "A" key is very near the "W" key

    Any kind of public announcement of what looks like musical chairs now just makes the organization look like even more of a joke - another new head coach?

    It's not like they can sell the idea of a promotion for Winter, so it becomes a 'restructuring,' or something....

    Hoping there is a player announcement combined with this. That would be a good way to spin this. Koeverman announcement would be great.

    MLSE is good at spinning so I'm crossing my fingers there is some development on this front.

    is the Post* announcing that Winter is getting the sack ?

    no : this - http://twitter.com/#!/soccerinsider

    Toronto FC is scheduled to make a "major announcement" at 4:45 pm ET. As far as I know, Winter steps aside, de Klerk moves up
    steps aside - what the hell does that mean ?

    *Washington Post, natch.

    A day without TFC drama is like a day without sunshine. Shining bright today. When is kickoff tonight again, like two hours after the presser?
