    I just read this and I'm in shock. Although with TL's arrival, it kind of makes sense.

    I will say I am not sureprised. Tim and Kevin have very different styles, and after Thursday night at RS I was even more sure this would be the fate for him.

    i guess this shows leiweke has a plan? and that he is nonetheless decisive. obviously he thought the fit wasn't right and acted on it.

    My ultimate question tho, how is cochrane still employed and slipping through the cracks? hopefully his time is coming to an end too..

    "It’s hoped that Nelsen can work his contacts in the Premiership to lure at least one major signing in the winter transfer window. One of the Italians on the unused list is also a top priority."

    That's interesting. What about the new GM's authority?

    I'm not surprised, but once again, our organization is rudderless and a mess.

    Didn't know that Payne not being at the supporters meeting actually had a story behind it! Just when I thought we were on the road to stability...

    What a fucking joke. Leiweke has actually managed to further tarnish the image of our franchise thanks to his ego. There is absolutely no justification for dismissing Payne at this juncture.

    I'm sure there are many reasons. None that we may agree with.....

    This club is bizarre man. The most poorly run (in terms of sporting success) in the MLSE stable, and that's saying a lot.

    we don't know how things are going behind the scenes tho. maybe they just dont get along with the methods and philosophies being so different.

    And ensco was bang on.

    I believed Paynes time here would be limited but I never thought it would happen now. I thought he'd be gone some time next year. Ahh well. He served his purpose. The salary cap situation is back under control.

    Now to our regular scheduled programming of losses, over the hill wash outs from the lower leagues you know where, and of course....old DP's who are more name than substance. LOL

    ^ This. Cue up another year of transition, a new "plan" and grease up the revolving door (has it ever been stuck?).

    If we even come close to what the last team under Leiweke did, I'll take it.

    Wow, did not see this coming or significance of the reported comments about every one being under review. Obviously this was more telling than I thought. The over-selling and under delivering of signings had a serious price which while harsh I can agree with from a performance culture point of view. I really thought being an MLS guy Payne would be given more time but TL is also an MLS guy and obviously had no concerns in making a move to mould his organization. A young bright exec from RSL sounds interesting. It is a team many admire for the style of play and they have experienced success which TFC is long overdue to experience.

    Wow.

    Payne did some good things here, clearing up the horrific mess that was our salary cap was no easy task. But he also left himself open to criticism. Talking up this summer window like he did and ending up with little to show for it was a huge disappointment.

    To me the biggest questionable decision was hiring Nelson. Another inexperienced coach (who was STILL PLAYING!) and I wonder if they were ever on the same page. I'm not sure if Nelson shared the same fascination with pursuing the South American style of players that Payne did. In the end his failure to use this window to demonstrably improve the team probably did him in - with both Leiweke and Nelson.

    On the other hand, if we manage to sign away the RSL GM I would be through the moon. RSL are the class of the league and they're proven in building and sustaining a winning team.

    But damn, Leiweke is not afraid to let heads roll.

    Oh for sure. Me too.

    To be honest though...I think what needs to be done is a true house cleaning by TL.

    Every coach, trainer, manager....anyone who's job directly contributes to the on field product of the senior team need to be let go. And there are guys on the staff who's firing would really bother me (Jason Bent for one) but I think it needs to be a proper clean sweep.

    This process of keeping bits and pieces because they're good guys or whatever needs to stop.

    Clean house this off season and start fresh properly. Not like they've done so often before.

    "His tenure was punctuated by a great deal of talk about how to revive a DOA franchise." I know it's true, but these words really sting.
