    The address list is complete. Please check the first post in the thread. Lets try to co-ordinate when we mail them.
    A week later we will email as a follow up.

    I don't think the content is as important as a name and a e-mail...with simple polite points. It's the fact that we as paying supporters care enough to write....and aren't happy,.....short and sweet.....

    Exactly Derek. Lets show our passion in a respectable manner. As Pete said doing that will keep the letter on the desk and out of the bin.

    I got a response, and I must be honest I was very impressed with the way in which Anselmi conducted himself. It''s difficult to be positive when there has been so much negative, but perhaps we can hope change is on its way....

    Did you send an e-mail to Anselimi only? I am more interested read/hear what 6 members of MLSE board have to say about TFC.

    I have sent an email to several of the board members. Anselmi was the first to respond

    Agreed mate. But the email did suggest the are actively searching for a President, and perhaps through reading between the lines, a new Manager. Like I said, he took time out to respond personally on a weekend and I really respect that of him. This email thing has been a great idea and a fantastic way of diplomatically letting those who matter how we feel

    Hi TorontoGonner,

    Can you share the e-mail response from Anselmi with us or do you prefer keeping it to your self. Hope you got some positive feedback. For me, it's hard to trust someone like him.

    Also, can anyone find out when the town hall meetings begin with management. Last year it began in November.

    These are the minimum criteria for me to renew my season ticket. Mr Anselmi and Co have until November 23rd to have the personnel in place or at the very least prove their active search else I'm out. This ain't Leafs Nation.

    got a reply from Mr. Anselmi.....he's certainly a step up from the glass tower ceo,:..... he agrees we built this franchise , and that he/the team owe us a great product and that they are actively searching for an "experienced knowledgable MLS leader"...it's difficult to criticize a company head for acknowledging the problem and essentially giving it a shot......if the team is fooked next year please please let us get a tough knowledgeable boss at least..........who can educate Mr. Mariner IF we're stuck with him.......

    I sent a nice letter, 'short & sweet' to TFC senior management around six weeks ago - it was very polite & respectful warning of dire consequences re the club taking a big hit on season ticket renewals (crowds of 5-6,000 next season) and the reasons why.


    I never received any form of reply, which with all their army of admin folks, account managers, etc, basically tells me they dont give a fuck about the rank & file TFC supporter.

    I only ever wrote to a club once before, maybe twelve years ago to my home team Leicester City in the English premier league, and got a letter back signed by then boss, Martin O'Neill, thanking me for my time and input - whether they react to fan suggestions or not is beside the point. These clowns running TFC have NO IDEA how to run a successful football club and build a solid connection with the fan base. I stand by my prediction of regular crowds of 5-6,000 next year based on people not getting value for money from a season ticket, and picking a few games to go to live when it suits THEM, not the club.

    It seems like only Anselmi is replying back to our e-mails. I don't think MLSE board gives a fuck about TFC.

    I wrote him a note about the team and then a followup about the Star article. He answered the latter, said he wasn't happy with it and that it's evident the team needs real leadership. That ...might be a good sign. Not sure if he realizes how deep the rot goes. He did say he wasn't going to get into who leaked it or who it benefited, but that he wasn't happy with the story and saw it for what it was.

    That's good to know.

    Hopefully Anselmi isn't all talk and he actually fixes TFC FO in the off-season.

    I sent a polite email, as a STH (i.e. not identifying myself with a group). My email was in response to the email from my ticket rep informing me about the price cut, etc. and soliciting renewal. My email pointed out we need a president with NA experience and to improve the on-field product. The relevant parts of the response I got back about an hour and a half later is below:

    ... top-priority this off-season is definitely to get the on-field product better and get this team to a point where we can compete for a playoff spot as soon as next season.

    [email goes on to blame injuries to key players.]

    The team has a very solid core of 7-8 players ... that if we can bring in 3-4 proven MLS talents (Preferably a Box to Box midfielder, Veteran CB, winger, and quick MLS striker) then we should at least, on paper, be a competitive team...

    [key players were named but I deleted them for the sake of keeping the post short]

    With regards to hiring a club president, I’m not exactly sure what the plans are. I do know that now that it’s the end of season, the board of directors will review all the coaches and managers and will make a decision to get this team on the winning track.

    I hope this helps and answers your questions and provides a bit more insight into the club. We’d love to have you back for another season and be a part of the rebuild. Once this team starts winning, BMO field will again be as loud as ever.


    Email concluded by saying Mariner was an integral part of winning seasons in NE, which suggests to me the team is currently 100% behind his returning next year.

    Which is all MLSE understands, paper. Money, contracts, bullshit charities, etc. On court, on ice, on grass? No idea how to win there.

    Free Raptors tix for early renewals of TFC Season's seats. It's like they want us to show up and wave the banners again!

    I guess this means renewals aren't going well as excepted even though they have cut season ticket prices back.
