    Thank you Denime.

    Sometimes we don't appreciate the nice things people do until it's gone!

    The problem was, he wasn’t the only one. It was scary. Within weeks I had worked out that my best player was Ryan Nelsen, a 35-year-old New Zealand international — and he couldn’t wait to get out.
    ‘You’ve got no chance,’ he told me. ‘Not a prayer. This is the worst dressing room I’ve ever been in in my life. You haven’t got a hope with this lot. I don’t know how you solve it.’


    Well, at least we know why Nelsen was so quick to sign for TFC. And QPR's form went more into toilets after Nelsen left.

    Wow. Sports management people in North America have it soft compared to that, I would think if TFC was in Europe buildings would be burning by now.

    Oh goodness, this could be our club they are talking about:


    The directors and owners were nice people but they were naive in football terms and I think certain people they had trusted — agents and advisers — had let them down quite badly.
    They had probably never been around players, or indeed football before, did not know the market and had spent unwisely on some very average foreign imports.


    Within weeks I had worked out that my best player was Ryan Nelsen, a 35-year-old New Zealand international — and he couldn’t wait to get out.
    ‘You’ve got no chance,’ he told me. ‘Not a prayer. This is the worst dressing room I’ve ever been in in my life. You haven’t got a hope with this lot. I don’t know how you solve it.’

    Our club was not naive. They purposefully put inexperienced people in positions that required expertise because they valued personal loyalty over subject matter expertise, and they saw TFC as a training playpen for a large corporation.

    Life is not fair. Teachers just walks away, nobody even remembers what they did to this team.

    Yes very good point. I can imagine two DP strikers hanging out up front, drinking espresso as they wait for decent service from our current attacking midfield.
