only constant...Tom Anselmi and Co.
This is simple trial and error, if you changed the players, the coaches, the field, the rules and you are still shit, look at the only thing that has remain constant over that period of time.

if i had one statement, just one, that i could use to sum up this press conference from admiral fuckup, it'd have to be this:
"it's our job to deliver the goods.."
by that definition, and for the past 6 years, they have failed miserably.
So the deck chairs just got shuffled on the Titanic and the inexperienced first mate is now replaced by the cook, but the iceberg is still there, and it's full steam ahead.
Those of you with Twitter accounts: help get #FireAnselmi trending!
So who's next to replace Mariner once he's gone at the end of the season??.. Is Dichio or Brennan dumb enough to step to the plate knowing Toronto fc coaches don't last in the Organization.
cruel.. yet... true...
Well, they now get one of out those three......
I am no longer a member of the group and honestly just don't have the time in my life right now to organize anything substantial but I want to see a relentless drive from the supporters of this club to get Tom Anselmi away from TFC. I know I will do whatever it is I can. Whether its signs, banners, cards to hand out or chants there has to be a push to remove him from TFC.
It doesn't have to take over every match but I think every match has to have at least a small reminder that Tom Anselmi has to go.
a little dissapointed in Winters dismissal I must admit. It was more due to the fact That I did not want a new coach which would mean another like 6 months of settling in and getting to know how the players work. we had a coach that seemed to have settled in and this is at a bad time as the Champions league start in what 5 weeks? and we are facing a team that Aron has seen before from behind the bench...... To me its terrible Timing. whats even more terrible is that Aron Winter will not be dealing with the academy in any shape or form. If Aron Winter's rep was mostly from Ajax's academy wouldn't his knowledge and skills be good for nurturing and growing talent here at home?
Would it really be any different with Winter though? Do you really believe he could have succeeded with this shit show?
I am glad it is a bigger shit show than ever. Things are going to have to get REAL BAD before Anselmi is given the boot. This mess is just another necessary part of that process.
Yep. Winter being fired is not so much the issue. Head coaches are measured in wins and losses. In his case he had more of the latter and there was no real sign of improvement. Everyone will have their own idea of when the right timing was. But in the end he did not deliver as a head coach in the MLS.
All that aside, the firing of Winter does not deal with the core problem at TFC. That is Anselmi and he needs to go.
Done
Get these fucks out, get Robbo in as a coach with someone experienced above him in charge and a GM that isn't a fucking slimeball looking to deflect blame. How can the head of player development sit there and say we have a poor fucking squad and not bat an eyelid?! It was his fucking job to find players!!!

I dont know what would be more funny, a paperbag protest or a Gerry Dee 4 president sign.
Fixed for accuracy. And so bang on!
Toronto FC, the gold standard of instability. Thanks a lot Ansalmi. You tiny dickhole you.
TORONTO FC, 2017 MLS CHAMPIONS!!! (Still the greatest in league history!)
Nothing suprises me anymore about this club. It's a train wreck and the lead engineers are laughing all the way to the bank. *sigh*
^^ this!!!!!
#TFC needs a club president who is connected & respected, a GM who understands MLS, and a coach who can command the respect of the players.

THIS RIGHT HERE. I WANT THIS AS A BANNER MESSAGE. then aftewrards lift up 3 big heads of the three stooges of tfc
I am happy with how awkward Anselmi looked, and at the questions directed at him by the media. He knows he is on thin ice, and he seemed scared to me. Dodging a couple questions (with help from Mariner) and shifting the blame on a few.
That tells me he is almost done with TFC (yippi!!)
Let's see how Mariner does. Im not filled with confidence though. I think this time next year it will be both Anselmi and Mariner that will join the all other heads-on-a-stick.
I do not think that one should lessen the weight of the redpatchboys "crowd" in a decision such as this. One may well point the finder at Anselmi. BUT, that is just one finger. Others are staring at you in the face. Everyone, from Anselmi down to fans, some of whom have difficulty garnering enough pennies for a ticket, share the blame.

I was actually outraged at Anselmi's non-answers.
I had the that strange deja vu feeling that I must be watching a NY/NJ MetroStars news conference in 2005, with them explaining why Mo Johnston was going from assistant to become the 8th head coach of the franchise. At least NY fans can be thankful that Red Bulls changed the management. Now lets hope Bell/Rogers does the same, and they remove Mr. Anselmi from any TFC responsibility.
Anselmi should have gone long ago but it seems he is accountable to no one. He's a bean counter with zero charisma and aura of leadership. How do we get him out of there? Petition, letters, what will it take?
I don't think I have ever been so pissed off about this team.
I agree. I think this should be the mandate for all of us that attend matches the rest of the season, regardless of TFC's performance on the pitch.
It's time to go Glazers on his ass.
gee.. if I ran an organization that was totally screwed up for 6 years under my leadership...
If someone asked me "What went wrong"
I think I'd have something better to say than "I don't know"
Maybe having a guy in charge that doesn't know that.. is WHAT WENT WRONG!
I have nothing against Mariner.. in fact he's probably just fine. But FUCK ME.. Anselmi skating by year in year out in charge of this shit show pisses me off.
