    Crazy. In the middle of a playoff run though, this can't be good for our chances.

    He backed Bez into a corner. Hats off to Bez for making a very defining call.

    Please, please, please let's finally hire an experienced coach. No more experiments with rookies.

    Yeah, this. Bez had no choice after that press conference.

    Doesn't matter if you're right or wrong - calling out your boss in the media will never end well.

    Shows it's never good to air your dirty laundry in public, should have gone up to a room after the game and discussed his displeasure and issues with Bez straight up, man to man. Bez really had no choice at this point.

    Praise Jebus. The press conference last night was infuriating, as we're all the previous ones. All Nelsen ever does is make excuses, refs, pitch, weather, travel, injuries, expectations of GM and fans, and just plain bad luck. Always externalizing issues. People that externalize don't improve because they have no control over their fate, its the unseen forces holding them back!

    Contrast to Robinson's presser following an equally disappointing performance, he actually admits his team and his coaching staff!! was defeated. What a concept admitting you we're beaten and will fix the problems!!!

    One source telling me Toronto coach will be Greg Vanney. Not sure whether or not it's on an interim basis

    I am sure Tim expressed his thoughts and gave an opinion but it ultimately lay with Bez with some consultation.

    And instead of saying "… are you kidding me?", He also acknowledged the importance of the game:

    "It is a massive game," Robinson said. "It's a rivalry game for us at home against a team that's competing the playoff spot. I could say it's just another normal game and I wouldn't be being honest, and that's one thing I am. It was a massive game for us. We lost, we take it on the chin and move on."

    Well Mr.Bez. Did you step up and get better players this summer transfer window? Goes both ways you know.

    TL leaving absolutely had an effect on this.

    Wonder if Danny is named to the first team staff as an assistant , would make sense on such a short time frame.

    Totally shocked by this...

    Might be for the best.

    I hope the replacement has MLS experience and a decent track record.

    I am sure it's for end of season only, then TFC will hire more "experience" and hopefully modern coach

    Maybe we shouldn't have a rookie GM either. Bez is a corporate yes man who now feels a bit of power because TL is exiting.

    Wow I was not expecting this! I thought they would give Nelsen until the end of the season before pulling the cord.
