    I am, however, all too serious about Curtis. I went through some old NYRB forum posts about Curtis when he was originally hired, and the dude appears to be as underhanded as they come. There is a reason he was fired.

    He's a competitor and highly intelligent. Vanney has been here for a long time and he was the cup (s). Curtis is not calling the shots at the moment.

    As for Manning, that interview he gave on TSN when he semi said Vanney needed to get his shit together was below the belt. Vanney has earned the right to have his president stick up for him in public. Being clear about expectations with a head coach behind closed doors is perfectly acceptable, but why do it in public? After everything Vanney has done? It didn't feel right to me.

    Prediction: TFC will add a few players, go on an exception run, finish top 3 in the east, and crash out in the playoffs. Then, I am willing to bet Curtis pushes Vanney out during the offseason.

    Wheeler is employed by the team so I'd think he does know something. Asad? Or someone we haven't even heard of?

    The one thing he usually knows about is who is coming in.



    ****

    On another note Asad bugged me when he was playing for Atlanta - thought he dove a lot & whined & would float in and out of games. When he went to DCU, he put his head down & worked harder.

    Wherever he goes, we'll see what version shows up.

    Even though it sounds like something is imminent and not Jansen, I just don't believe it.

    If anyone it has to be Janson or Jony. Asad I think is too soon to be done this fast.

    The player will come out
    2 weeks from now
    Bet your bottom Garber dollar
    That 2 weeks from now
    There'll be a TAM player

    Just thinkin' about
    2 weeks away
    Clears away the cobwebs,
    And the sorrow
    'Til there's none

    When I'm stuck a with an offense
    That's gray,
    And lonely,
    I just stick out my chin
    And Grin,
    And Say,
    Oh

    The player will come out
    2 weeks from now
    So ya gotta hang on
    'Til 2WA
    Come what may
    2WA, 2WA
    I love ya 2WA
    You're always
    2WA
    Away

    When I'm stuck a with defence
    That's gray,
    And lonely,
    I just stick out my chin
    And Grin,
    And Say,
    Oh

    The player will come out
    2 weeks from now
    So ya gotta hang on
    'Til 2 weeks from now
    Come what may
    2WA, 2WA
    I love ya 2WA
    You're always
    2 weeks away
    Away

    2WA, 2WA
    I love ya 2WA
    You're always
    2 weeks
    Away

    I didn't read it as Manning throwing Vanney under the bus. I read it as simply stating the obvious, that coaches need to win to keep their job. It was more a statement to pacify the #vanneyout crowd that yes, he is indeed holding his coach accountable. He did mention Greg's success and stated that he deserved time to turn the results around, so I consider that an endorsement, even if it was a bit guarded.

    The fact is that Bell/Rogers run MLSE for content and they demand playoffs to fill their schedules. Making the playoffs in most years is the minimum standard that the whole management team of all their teams (farm teams excepted) is being held to, or they will find someone else who will deliver that.

    Is there anyone else that's been rumoured so far that we haven't mentioned in this thread?

    For anybody who has listened to the KJ & Caldwell most recent podcast that dropped last night - did they give a hint? Because by the looks of things, all the journos got told with an embargo.

    KJ just said it's coming soon, sorta implied it was a done deal. Was brief and sort of flippant answer to a question.

    Preparing to be underwhelmed with an unknown.

    My Paul Mariner scouting report says he can use both feet and like to shoot but the quality of the opposition looks slightly below average.
