No, fair enough. There are plenty of people who follow the team from a bit more of a distance and aren't vocal about changes made. But I bet you they all care about winning. Kreis = much, much better coach, and with the history/results to prove it. So hopefully we smarten up and go get this guy and finally put some skills and experience to work on our team.
This board when it comes to hot potato issues really represents the highly vocal minority. It can come done to really only a few people discussing things in circles. In reality RPB as a whole is a pretty small percentage of all those who buy TFC tickets but as we all know anyone here has an exetremly heightened interet in the team but in no way represents the majority of all all those who follow the team to any extent.

One of Morrow/Morgan should be traded.
You know, I want Kreis and all that ... but I am not sure it'll work unless we are moving the DPs.
All these veteran Europeans, and USMNT players, they were brought in I believe because they'd make the DPs more "comfortable" than South Americans would.
Kreis will not be interested in players like Findley/Moore/Gomez/Perquis/Kantari.

I worry about this also. He might not be interested in the job, and it would take some doing to fix the mess we have on the roster, but at some point we have to stop aimlessly moving forward with rookies and try to seek the aid of someone who has actually built teams in the past and won.
How about firing Bez and replacing him with Kries? He would be a credible mentor to Vanney and I am sure every bit as able to recruit talent as Bez.
That to me is like using Kreis in the wrong position. He's a brilliant coach. Why would we hire him and then use him as GM instead while allowing a far less capable coach to run the team? But sure, if that's the only option other than replacing Vanney then yes.

Yeah, I agree. I do think that there is a danger of creating a top-heavy organization if we keep too many people on while bringing in replacements, but I think he's got a role at TFC that he does well and could be of further use to the club. Kries coming to TFC opens up so many possibilities.

I've started a new thread on the Kreis rumour, which is separate from what happens to Vanney (although the two can be related):

I wish Vanney would of had the interm tag on him. I was so shocked when Bez announced he wasn't interm but full on manager. I don't really want us to have to go through another GM hunt but if Bez can't close the deal in getting Kreis then he should be gone. He hired Vanney, didn't work out now move on, especially when a clear upgrade is looking for work.

Hmmm thats an interesting response
^^ Throwing Vanney under the bus.

Yep, but doing it in a good way imho. Wouldn't want him to lie but also not to explicitly state he doesn't agree with the manager. He knows their is a better manager looking for work now..
