MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
Defeatist.
Look, it's not logical to say "look how badly it did last time." The Hartrell's intentions might have been good, but even second division soccer has to be sold with the basics in place: a stadium atmosphere conducive to noise, a good supporter's group invested from day one, cheap beer, strong media and marketing support.
ALL. EVERYONE ONE of those elements must be in place. So far, no one in the second division in North America (except maybe Orlando) has done that.
Failure isn't always indicative of a norm, just of the mood of the person subjectively assessing it.

nope ...I at least saw Winter identifying the prospects and trying to give them direction.....he had a vision AND he was ignored by the disaster in short pants. Don't think he asked for specific players but was laughed at. As Lewiekie says when TFC had the chance to get 'A' players they always went for 'B ' listers....simply all in charge were ass kissers ....Winter had to much class to talk about it thats why he'll never have anything to do with this team and not even talk about it.....His critics simply need to understand Mr. Anselmi's and co MLSE ...AND I felt he understood the need to help train future Canadians .

just watch...we'll actually get a 'star' and have zero team or tactic......they actually think we are stupid enough to go crazy for '1' star...yet never win......so if we get 1 over paid over age star ...we're done ..they'll think they will be able to sell tickets to star lovers without a supporting team. thats my greatest fear.....

actually Marlies aren't doing to bad with fans lately and reasonable prices,...AND kind sir I actually won a Lynx game ball attending a game with the kids....we lost
I think quite a few fans would support a well organized and accessible team . Esp if they allowed the ultras to organize.....there are great sports fans in this city that are simply starving for recognition and a team to be proud of. If the idiots at MLSE would have allowed DeKlerk and Winter to have a connection with Charlotte as our minor affiliate this franchise would be solid . Or better still a successful CSL affiliate here in the GTA would solve so many problems.

Let's give Chivas USA some credit here. Yes, they also suck, but they played a disciplined game when down a man. Their manager did his scouting and adjusted his tactics accordingly and won the game on a sucker punch goal.
Doesn't excuse how much TFC sucked, but I thought Chivas USA played a good game defensively.
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
-Eduardo Galeano
