“We all feel the pressure to win. It’s all about team success. That is our priority.” Tom Anselmi, Sept. 2012
NO SHIT SHERLOCK.......Amarikwa said on Henry. “He’s a world-class player, he’s a DP and he gets paid big bucks, that’s just what he does, that’s what he’s known to do. And you know you sometimes just have to take your hat off to him.”

Although we loved him for it at the time, Jimmy B promising the fans play off football in season two after the home closer in 2--7 and THAT goal by Danny.
So well intentioned, but such a millstone to carry ever since!

There must be some good Mo quotes as well, no?
Something about a 25 year plan?

In 2015, at the rate we're going, it'll mean 'No F*cking Fans'...

I think we should call this thread #shitTFCsays.
Regarding Mo's return as coach in 2008...
“Being an expansion team in any sport is always a challenge, and we feel Mo has done a sound job of identifying talent and bringing in players who could become the foundation of our franchise,” said Tom Anselmi, executive vice-president and chief operating officer of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment Ltd.
“He has brought his passion for the game to our fans, and has been the inspiration behind a club that has taken the Toronto sports scene by storm. We look forward to building upon that in the coming year.”
“I’m ecstatic. I love being in Toronto–it’s a great city,” said Johnston. “It’s a terrific place to work; the fans are incredible. They’re a tremendous motivation for us looking ahead to next year. Soccer is thriving in Toronto, and it’s only going to get bigger and better.”

Prices had crept too high over the past few years. We’ve been rebuilding our team and we’ve had some erosion of our fan base. So I’d rather sell 100 tickets at 10 bucks than 10 tickets at 100 bucks.

Yeah I nominated it in the RPB members area.
Gave you the credit for it though, so no plagiarism accusations please.
You're clearly on a roll Ryan.
Any more goodies up your sleeve that you care to impart?

Toronto FC's Mariner: I have the best job in the world!!!!!!!!

TORONTO – As far as Paul Mariner is concerned, he has the best job in the league.
“By miles,” the Toronto FC head coach told MLSsoccer.com after training on Wednesday.
Mariner took over from Aron Winter on June 7 and, as far as he knows, will return next season.
“Absolutely, that’s my understanding,” Mariner said at the club’s new training facility in Downsview Park. “I’m working diligently now behind the scenes. The NCAA scouting is almost done, just got to go see a few more games. The international scouting is well under way. Our preseason is already done. As far as I’m concerned, it’s full steam ahead.”
Toronto FC (5-19-7) will miss the playoffs for the sixth year in a row and have not won in league play since July 18. Designated Players Danny Koevermans (knee) and Torsten Frings (hip) are out for the season after surgery. A third DP, Eric Hassli has an ankle injury and is doubtful for Saturday’s game against D.C. United (15-10-6), who currently occupy a playoff spot.
Mariner knows he has a big job ahead of him and the challenge makes it “extremely appealing.”
“This is a very big job,” Mariner said. “Sometimes when people sit in their armchairs watching the game, they just think it’s sort of the 90 minutes that you’ve got to deal with.
“But there’s a lot more to it with the Academy and this magnificent training center. For me, it’s the best job in Major League Soccer.
The new board are fantastic, the support group around it is sensational, so why wouldn’t you want to be head coach here?”
The Reds were 1-9 when Mariner took over and have been 4-10-7 since. They are also 2-1 in the CONCACAF Champions League group stage.
“Even though I’ve only been in this job a few months, I’ve felt, and even going back to my New England days [as assistant coach], this is a big market, this is a big stage, the fans are demanding, which is fine, there’s a lot of media interest, a lot of spotlight on this club,” Mariner said. “Some people can handle it, some people can’t handle it. I know I can handle it, but the jury is out on whether the players can handle it.”
And starting next spring, Mariner says, he and TFC will be ready for another go.
“We’re not that far away on the field,” he said. “We’ve got to get some of our big players fit and back in business and then we just add five max, four definitely, and we’re in business.”

Hi Paul Mariner, here's some advice: It's about PRIORITIES
http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/articl...-scouting-trip
Don't worry, I'm sure in the winter we will get stories about Mariner's scouting trip in Bermuda being a success.
Catching up with Paul Mariner today: http://www.torontofc.ca/video/2012/1...october-3-2012
about the NYRB game
- he thinks TFC was the better team in the 2nd half and 4-1 didn't reflect what TFC did.
- "we did okay but we didn't win. Didn't get a point"
- last 2 games are "massive" games to get results to make the fans proud of the team.
- Hassli is very doubtful for Saturday. Didn't train with the team today.
- Quincy Amerikwa has been fantastic and a constant threat to defenders.
LOL
Wow
that's an insult to the fans who had to endure this shitshow of a season to think that there's anything he can do in two games to make them "proud". How about win them as an apology.
Yeah I nominated it in the RPB members area.

From 300...
The "This is SPARTA" scene, but put "This is FOOTBALL" and use the guy going down the hole having Mariner's head. Maybe a *HOOF* sound effect for the kick, ala the Adam West Batman days?
Something like this (I'm too apathetic to bother editing it myself lol)
Can't believe he had the balls to say we were the better team against NY in the 2nd half. Maybe just for the first few minutes of the first half until they got warmed up. If he can't see the problem then the problem can't be fixed.
Don't forget he is also "waiting for some players to step up to the plate". We have been waiting for that for alot longer. Whenever I hear these interviews these days I keep thinking of that Aerosmith song "it's the same ol' story, same ol' song and dance". Winter always said as well he didn't have players "with enough quailty" as well so I guess somehow we are the only team that can't figure this thing out. Always anywhere from 3-8 players away. Errrr....'tis pity.
"Jeremy (Hall) is normally technically very good" Mariner after the game yesterday
- Tom Anselmi
“We are going to look at the whole operation and expect recommendations and plans at the end of this season. This is the first full offseason Paul will have and if there’s a need, we’ll look at it. That’s not the issue, the issue is the team needs to get it right.”
