Guess you didn't go to the town hall meetings.
Apologies always come at the end of the season, not at the start.
That's true. MLSE outright apologized. To little results.

We are so sorry that we had such an awful year, and we will like to remind you that renewal will commence shortly! Please note that season tickets will be going up 15% to accommodate for the extra game in the schedule
Thank you

I don't give a shit about a meaningless apology. Give me the playoffs, and following that, a championship. That's what I want.
If I was a Maple Leafs fan, that letter would just infuriate me more. I'm visualizing a fan getting a pat on the head from MLSE saying "there there, feel better now?"
Championships cost money, apologies don't. Fans are learning here what traded superstars have been saying all along...."it's a business".
I wish I lived 40 years ago when sports was about sports and not business.
I take it that's why a lot of people are protesting against "modern" football. I have been seeing tons of football supporters talking about how krap modern football is.......
Relax guys, we have another 45 years before we hear anything like that.
Fuck apologies, give me results.
As my kids sometimes say 'sorry doesn't help'
As Damien Cox says today in his blog, it's easier to say sorry than to explain what went wrong or how to fix it.
If you're a TFC-but-not-a-Leaf fan or don't support a perennial loser from your homeland... you just don't understand.
Cox can suck a dick.
This was necessary.
What nobody here understands, is that nobody wants to win more than the MLSE guys. Just ask them. They'll tell you. Even if you don't ask, they'll tell you.
'cause that's what matters. You can lose for decades around here, as long as you bleat on about how much you want to win, and it's really heartfelt.
What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.
I think an apology in the form of a ticket price reduction to year one prices would suffice. Since the teams results have not progressed since then - I think that is only fair.
I've come to accept spelling errors in posts but I can't let a thread header stay uncorrected. Apology only has one p. Sorry - I'm a spelling nazi.
That is what concerns me too. They say all the 'right' things without actually commiting to fixing what they know is a problem in this case. It concerns me quite a bit given the landscape right now.
What a completely ridiculous statement. I'm not a hockey fan so I don't understand the pain of losing? are you a fucking adult? seriously? what a juvenile, stupid thing to say.

What comfort could there possibly be in an apology from MLSE suits?

Thats racist:O
better?
It never hurts to read to the end of a sentence.
I don't think this is the point being discussed. Most people would see them admitting guilt as something but you can't believe it's anywhere close to enough.

It's not enough, but they absolutely had to acknowledge the fans. Especially after such an epic collapse (though the advanced stats guys would counter that we should have seen it coming... *cough*Minnesota).
I think most of us will reserve judgement until after the draft/FA-signings/off-season trades are made. I've personally had enough with Burke but the prevailing sense is that he should be given the opportunity to see his vision through, whatever that may be.
From a TFC perspective... the team came within a half of qualifying for the CCL final while playing both legs of the semifinal without its Captain and best player.
They've had a false start in league play but have dominated with quality football for stretches in most matches.
Management have a clear vision that is being executed on, and players are performing the roles they were brought in to do.
The season is long, the team isn't as bad as people seem to think.
If TFC were atop the table in late July and then out of the running by September then yes, an apology would be in order.

While it might be earlier, that draft letter for the fall might already be drawn up.
It's not our time yet. They still have to draft the Raptor fans letter first. Then it'll be our turn.
A little MLSE comparision since TFC began (last 6 season):
Leafs - 212 - 280 = 43% winning record
Raps - 203-265 = 43% winning record
TFC - 57 - 78 - 57 = 20% winning record or 59% when you include ties
So if you factor in ties we should be happy with our performance. We're the best of the MLSE group...
