FORMER FULL TIME KOOL-AID DRINKER
I was starting to like Vanney but then he keeps playing Creavalle, I'm sorry but you got some talent evaluation issues if you cant see that Creavalle isn't good enough.
No point in a firing now, but this has to make people wonder about what's going on in his head.
This was not a good showing for vanney. Not firing line worthy but it raises some questions.
Subbing Creavalle in at RB was just a complete joke of a decision. Makes Benito Floro's decisions at the Gold Cup look genius.
He keeps playing him there over and over and he keeps costing us goals over, and over, and over... toddlers learn lessons quicker than Vanney seems to be capable of on this particular issue.
I would like to make something perfectly clear to Greg Vanney:
DO NOT PUT CREAVALLE OUT ONTO THE PITCH UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE!!! UNDERSTAND?!! THAT GUY COST US POINTS LATE IN THE GAME AND DULLED A SUPERHUMAN PERFORMNCE BY NUMBER TEN, GIO!!! JUST WHAT THE FUCK WAS GOING THROUGH THAT PEA SIZED BRAIN OF YOURS WHEN YOU PUT HIM OUT THERE?!! HUH?????!!!!!!!!!!
TORONTO FC, 2017 MLS CHAMPIONS!!! (Still the greatest in league history!)
Hes fine at mid but definitely agree he is far from a fullback and shouldnt ever play there
Confirmed. Sack Vanney for Mourinho.

"Jose says he would consider managing in the MLS one day, but not now. He would 'like to contribute to a fantastic country'. #CFCTour"
^He wants the LA job someday, he has virtually said so before. He has taken his teams to train in LA something like 8 of the 12 years he has been a top flight manager (weirdly they are in Montreal this year)

“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
My problem with Vanney is this, yes going forward and in possession we look much better then we ever had, and yes despite the talent I have to give a lot of credit to Vanney. But defensively we continue to be the same old tfc. Not all the time but too often. Scoring 3 on the road and coming back with only one point is ridiculous.
From what I saw, ( I did not see the third goal I was pulled away for about 20 minutes) these were not individual mistakes, but on the first, the defenders and they were plenty there were simply not aggresive enough and static as a group, and on the second, there was just to much room given in front of the box. Too me we need to be more compact and intelegently aggresive when we do not have the ball. Vanney is having us attack and pressure high, but it is creating spave between the mids and the back line, and it is making vulnerable behind.
I like the 3 at the back, but then two DMs have to sit in positions which then allows for defensive cover and help
One thing I like about Vanney is that he's neither married to a system, nor does he make whole sale changes in a desperate attempt to find something that works. He sees what isn't working and what is and he tweaks his system until it runs properly. Like the last game where most were calling for wholesale changes to the setup, he stuck with the game plan, regrouped at halftime, and got the point.
Guess it's time to fire this up again.
Ole Gunnar Solskjær rumor may be regarding team president rather than coach, per Duane R.
No to Ole Gunnar as manager, that's for sure. Not sure for president either. Or anything.
yeah not sure this makes sense to me either
Yeah, it's a head scratcher, given all the talk about bringing in a top soccer executive for that role.
Solskjaer to TFC?
http://www.dagbladet.no/2015/08/04/s...diff/40465965/
Dagbladet): Sources informs Dagbladet that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (42) is in negotiations with MLS club Toronto FC on the job as the team's new manager.Solskjaer agent, Jim Solbakken, confirming the news. - Yeah, Bundesliga reply to Dagbladet questions about the ongoing talks between the parties.

But it does fit in our hiring practice of getting guys with zero experience.
Bring on the Norwegian Experiment
hahahahaa!! actually, not funny at all ... there is not a thing that would surprise anyone around here
whatever if it happens it happens I've reached a point of apathy towards this whole Sack Vanney phenomena
Actually Solskjaer does have experience managing.
Teams managed 2008–2011 Manchester United Reserves 2011–2014 Molde 2014 Cardiff City 2015– Toronto FC
But they supposedly want him for president.
This would be the first decently experience manager we've ever had
According the link I posted, Solskjaer is negotiating for manager (as a head coach) position.
Word from our beat guys is that it's 100% not for manager but president and that talks aren't that far along. But they must be there.....
Stolen from Twitter but Fjord Nation.
I smell bollocks tbf. Shouldn't we be run by Bettega/Gandini/Gattuso by now???
Let's just hope it's a rumor.
With the season getting in the stretch drive you would think they'd want a president in place before the off season starts though.
From Rollins...
However, the reports aren’t completely wrong. Solskjær has been in Toronto talking to MLSE – for the currently non-existent Club President role. MLSE likes having that extra layer of management and they’ve been searching for a President since Tim Leiweke took a step back a year ago or so.
Today’s reports suggested that Solskjær’s hiring was imminent. CSN was told that such reports were exaggerated – that they will be making a hire and it might be Solskjær, but that he’s just one name among others like it that’s being considered.
I hope this is case. I personally hope MLSE can find better President than Solskjaer.
