Maybe he doesn't want to play for a guy whose sole coaching experience was coaching NCAA Div 3 until June-- and then being coached by a guys whose never coached ever.
i think yr right...but he does have a badge,so everything will be ok.

yes thats what i am thinking too but hassli was mariners boy and with paul gone maybe he doesnt think he will get the prefered treatment
but lets free up some cap space and have an option of a new dp
hassli is an injury waiting to happen so lets not waste money on him if koovermans is not ready for opening day so be it
lets see what happens in the college draft striker wise and if not i am sure payne and co will buy a proven striker for less money
i love the new direction the team is taking and hassli is not part of that
wow 2016 and things are looking up --- come on you reds lets go
good riddance Mr. Hassli

Hassli used to play for Marco Schallibaum now in Mtl. I wonder if there is interest...

And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

Seems like another backroom deal gone wrong by Earl & Paul, who knows what they promised Hassli and now that Payne is in charge all bets are
off and he wants out. Same thing happenned when Winter refused to sign players that were promised contracts by the FO.
Hopefully this is the last time something like this will happen.
Shame.... I was hoping Hassli would work out here.
I wouldn't be surprised if he talked to PM recently, and was told he's not going to get much playing time - which he made clear that he wants to play all the time.
He puts TFC in a hard stop...what do you do with a high paid injury magnet player?
This has to grease the rails for Cochrane's dismissal.
a ha ha heh he hoo.. ha

Something about their history suggests to me that his leash is longer than others. I know a bit of what went on and believe me it wasn't hard for Payne to find a reason to get Mariner out.
Earl has survived 6 seasons, I think he has the ability to make a go for a 7th especially with a buddy calling the shots and scape goats galore.
I am just being realistic here and trying not to get my hopes up.

The coch is good at finding cheaper flights to central america,thats what he did for the CSA..Jezzz
they should can his ass and hire the guy from i2000 travel..
Hassli is the prototypical sulky, emotional striker. Someone from TFC should just talk him down. I still think he's a solid player, and he should get a lot of minutes, especially early on. I'd rather he play with us than walk personally.
Love Hassli. But resigning him as a DP was a monstrous mistake. If he does truly want to leave and we can find a team to off load him to...this might actually be a blessing in disguise.
I see this but if you say it wasn't hard for Payne to find a reason to get Mariner out it should be BASIC in finding reasons to get Cochrane out. Case in point this thread! Payne seems like he can sniff out a poseur so if Cochrane stays, hopefully that means he's doing basic admin work and nothing that actually is decision-based with regards to the club.

I think Earl has a role. I can see him blaming the whole Hassli move on Mariner and say he opposed the deal and resigning. Who would be left to argue any of that or produce evidence to the contrary? Anyhow as others have said, its up to Payne to decide what goes on and if he isn't doing damage and gets about the job its no big deal.

So with all this drama being played out, there is potentially a new issues that has arisen. Our Striker situation.
It was assumed Hassli was here to fill in for Koevs until his return. Setting up a potential 1-2 DP striker combo by mid-season.
If Hassli is gone, who will be our number striker? Johnson is gone, who is left?
We have $1.7 million of cap space tied up in 5 guys (Frings/Koevs/Hassli/ODea/Eckersley), and not one of the 5 is a core player that Payne will build around.
Payne has to be going to war with a bunch of people behind the scenes. Think they're just going to quietly take it?
Get used to these stories.
