    Default Quotes made by TFC management & coaching staff

    Would like to see all the quotes made in media or TFC and all the broken promises by the club.

    Anselmi: "We have to get this right, for the fans"

    Cochrane: "We want to finish in the top 10 of the conference".

    Paul Mariner: " He’s got the best part of 10 months left and there’s a lot of (soccer) that has got to be played "

    i think this thread idea is great, could even be stickied. this way we can hash out our rage at their stupidity in here and try and tone down how it gobbles up most other thread topics.

    We should take some quotes from this thread and make 2 stick signs for the remaining games.

    We’re going to move as quickly as we can but we’re going to wait and find the right person and that person will build the team and we’re on with it
    Tom Anselmi, October 2010


    Our job is real simple now, It’s to deliver them a product they can be proud of, give them something to cheer about. We’re going to turn it around.

    For credibility and accountability reasons I'd leave the media out of it. While some suspect their ties to the FO those are no more than suspicions.

    Stick to quotes from FO that need to be accounted for.

    We wanted to establish a management team that is committed to the way the club wants to play, has an international perspective, knows Major League Soccer and believes in the potential of Toronto FC

    “We’ve had four years and I think we’ve had lots of patience by our fans,” Anselmi said the day Toronto was awarded this year’s MLS Cup title game. “Now it’s show-up time. We’ve got to take the next step this year.”

    Tom Anselmi - Sept 2010

    Tom Anselmi (town hall meeting, Oct 2010 - paraphrased): "We don't look at other teams in MLS for our pricing schemes. We base prices on entertainment alternatives in Toronto". (if someone has his verbatim quote, please post it)

    This was really funny to me. Not sure if many caught this or not but Cochrane originally said top 10 then corrected himself to say top 5, in the conference. Funny of course because there are only 10 teams in our conference.

    (I suspect he was a little nervous on air)

    ^That, or it was a freudian slip...but people can come to their own conclusions on that.

    Surely, the slip was top 10 in the league, versus top 10 in the conference. The intent was clear, to be in the top half. Not sure why there's need to examine any further.

    Top 10 in the league doesn't qualify one for the playoffs.

    Then again, when has TFC brass ever paid attention to the fine print on anything?

    Its actually pretty sad that our goal is to squeak into the playoffs, and not to be one of the strongest clubs in the league and a perennial title challenger.

    Based on current demand, they need to start looking at Rock prices.

    What's really sad is that after this many years we still can't manage to squeeze into the playoffs.

    Paul Mariner - "we're only 4 players away" 2012 (in reference to team sitting dead last with two winless in 9 streaks)
    Paul Mariner - "some minor tweaks" 2012 (in reference to team sitting dead last with two winless in 9 streaks)
    Paul Mariner - "one of the best finishers in the modern era" 2012 (about wiederman)
    Paul Mariner - "F you fans" (interpretation of post game gesture in direction of supporters)

    Tom Anselmi - "we didn't have the advantage of an academy that every other expansion team did" 2012

    Paul Mariner - "I'll trade you to the last placed team and let you burn in the desert" (alleged by former DP) (not realizing we are the last placed team and not located in the desert?)

    Tom Anselmi: "Aron will oversee our entire soccer operation and set the soccer direction of Toronto FC. Paul will be responsible for our club's scouting, player acquisition, player development and our Academy."

    Funny because...

    Paul Mariner: "As the director of player development you can only do so much. I had no say on team selection, no say on formations and no say on anything to do with the field. Now we're going to start to move."

    Indeed, there is no need to examine it further....hence the smiley at the end of the post.
