    Damn it, should've known better...Christmas isn't until the 25th. A gift like Mariner getting canned couldn't possibly come this early could it??

    I don't know the answer to your questions.

    I just listened to the podcast and translated it for you.

    Sorry, but we are thankful. At 9:05 on a Sunday morning, no one should have to listen to Limpact crapaganda. Rumours, lies and denials; sounds like the typical workplace.

    I would almost compare Paul Mariner to getting a fruit cake on Christmas. You just mentally have to prepare yourself and dont get fooled that you wont get anything different. Basically lower your standards.

    The MLS website is reporting that Chivas is on the verge of hiring Jose Luis Sanchez Sola as their manager. Considering that Marsch reportedly spoke to TFC and Chivas about a manager's position, the likelihood of Marsch joining TFC may have just increased.

    As for the rhetoric from the TFC brass, it is commonplace to deny media speculation until an agreement is official.

    Sola's another foreigner coming into this league trying to revolutionize the league with a different style of play. Sounds familiar.

    I was thinking the same and with an upcoming (rumoured) trade in the works, leaked on a weekend. I't's almost more exciting than the regular season.

    I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’

    I wonder if this is a case of Payne expecting Mariner to fall on his sword early and wanting to immediately be ready with a replacement.

    That would be dangerously unwise. Consider the fact that Mariner is right now working hard to populate our squad with HIS guys. We fire him 5 games into the season a new coach would have no room to make necessary changes to a team that he inherits. Also, if Payne feels that Mariner is not right for the job, but wants Mariner to fall on his own sword by losing the first 5 games of the season, then it's Payne's decision that put us in harms way.

    Mariner is not responsible for TFC anymore. It's Payne. Whatever happens moving forward is on Payne - 100%!

    I think it's fairly evident that Payne is going to rebuild the roster with players that he has identified moving forward. If Mariner is allowed to to start the season as the head coach, he will succeed or fail with the roster he is dealt.

    I don't think he is. That article last week mentioned Mariner saying that 'they' reviewed the deals TFC put out in Europe, including the ones on a free, and decided to pull them off the table. To me that says Mariner put the deals out during the pre-Payne era and now that Payne is in charge he took a peek at them and thusly said no thanks.

    I say any player(s) we acquire now, through either signings or trade, are all Payne. No Mariner, Cochrane or anybody else.

    Mariner might be putting in requests, but Payne will put his own stamp on things, so he will be responsible, and keep Mariner from making stupid deals.

    Can you imagine that? Paul Mariner thinks he's on a free ride and goes on a vacation to Scandinavia and Cyprus with nothing to show for it. I think that would be grounds for me to look for someone to replace him prior to the draft which I think can only be good news.

    If Ultra & Proud actually has a link to that story, it will be indicative of the way forward for TFC without Mariner. There's already too many red flags with Mariner.
