    Anselmi doesn't have the power to do that anymore, it seems.

    Bogers is nothing if not attentive to detail.

    Exactly - And it allows us to have consistency over multiple head coaches, soemthing that hasn't happened before. If/When Nelsen leaves TFC, Payne just needs to find someone else with the similar style and compability and off they go.

    ...and someone willing to just follow orders. That's the good thing about young managers. They are easier to manipulate. Probably the reason he has always looked to youth instead of experience in this position.

    Forbes article on the Nelson hiring (not positive): http://www.forbes.com/sites/bobbymcm...-inexplicable/

    And what about the players? A wise man once said that the coaches main job is make sure that he has left his players with no excuses for a poor performance. It would seem to me that Payne has just offered the Toronto 2013 squad a bumper crop of reasons why loses are not their fault.
    All in all Payne’s decision is one of a maverick – it could work but the chances are very slim. Given the situation Toronto FC was in need of a safe pair of hands but instead the head coach position has been handed to an apprentice.

    Dobson: "TFC President Kevin Payne says fans will be "happy" when they hear when Nelsen will arrive. Not sure when that is though."
