Curtis knew he found Toronto's next head coach.
“This was a vast, exhaustive and methodical search," Curtis said. "International, domestic. Varying level of experience. Big clubs, small clubs, no club. A lot of people were interested in the role. We interviewed multiple different candidates, lots of research. Comprehensive analysis, reference checks. We really did a thorough job in ensuring we found the right candidate. Chris was the top of the charts.”

This presser being carried anywhere or is this just for the media?
It all came down to one thing. Control. Armas was the only one willing to let Curtis have full control and to be a yes man. Every other coach wanted input in player acquisition, etc.
I cant find anything. Kind of micky mouse.
what a load of shit,how does this donkey keep his job,and why always americans that soccer powerhouse.
Dichio also has a coaching license from French Football Federation
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
-Eduardo Galeano
Is there a stream of the presser somewhere?
Well this management team is hiding. Bullshit.
Could you imagine the Leafs doing this?
What an immense steaming pile of shit that quote was. We knew that when he said it.
The guy makes Mo look like Honest Abe. At least with Mo you got the sense that his own underlying anxiety and unease was to blame for the second guessing, the double dealing, the backstabbing.
This dude just reeks of contempt for the fans. In context of what's taken place since that quote pretty much says it all.
Exhaustive and methodical, folks. And the best Ali Curtis could do when "exhaustive and methodical" was the worst coach we've ever had.
Cowards. They know they are next if they screw this up.
TFC: Hi fans, we're going to do a press conference at 4pm.
Fans: Can we watch it?
TFC: No

Fucking peasant fans. How dare they want access.
That's just not good enough in this day and age. Simply not enough for a "big" club like TFC.
TSN is literally playing a re-run of the DC game right now! They cant cut to the press conference?!?!?!? Its so difficult to get behind this team....

Bring back Jozy
They still dont care about their fans, at least if we could watch their announcement we would have a better idea of what direction the club is heading, it seems to be very similiar to Manchester United, of previous we will take your money but we could care less about getting the results
Currently on CP24
Agreed. This is pretty farcical stuff. Holding a presser on a Sunday afternoon on short notice and then not even showing live access.
Does genius Ali Curtis realize the point of a presser is to actually get a message out?
#freejozy
Press conference is on CP24
we need accountability from this team to its fans, but MLSE could care less about its fans, that why Curtis and Manning should also be relieved of their duties
Does CP24 have a live online stream somewhere?
Ali Curtis has got to be fired as well. He picked the coach and brought in the players. Then Manning should be let go in the off season
Saw on cp24, Only Chris Armas fired no assistants.
Javier Perez is interim
As I said, Rollins has no sources
One of the worst things about this is a guy losing his job. I'm glad it happened, because he was the wrong guy. But it was unfair to Armas in the first place to tell him to fit round pegs in square holes.
You cannot ask a series of veteran players, several of whom are far more talented than he was (albeit he was a good midfielder), to suddenly play a drastically different style of football and role. These are not MLS 1.0 pluggers; these are guys with pedigrees and pretty specific -- and often quite narrow -- ideal skill sets.
Under Vanney, most had a role that played to that strength. If we'd had eleven quick pitbulls, we'd probably have pressed more. He was smart enough to adapt the team to the players we can get here, not the other way around. In a cap league, that's essential.
Curtis clearly, absolutely, does not get any of this. A string of MLS journeymen are decent for plugging holes but they're not first teamers. Omar was crocked, for the most part, when he left LA for Mexico (or over his peak, anyway). Mullins is a perennial backup due to injuries, same with DeLeon. Putting these guys out there with Pozuelo, Osorio and Soteldo on a regular basis is like putting lawnmower fuel mixture in a Porsche.
He's an MLS 1.0 player, as was Armas ,and they have that mindset. Manning probably enjoyed hiring them because it put him above two former teammates who both made it to MLS when he didn't, just ego gratification. I did that once as an editor, hired a guy I'd worked with when I was an 18 year old junior reporter and he was the senior dude. It was disastrous, because he was disastrous, and I was immature.
Ultimately, these three all have to go or we're fucked. There will be no Tata, no Vanney, no Alonso waiting in the wings, because who would coach under these two? I'm sure by now they've been figured out by their peers.
Yep. Gonna unfollow Rollins, I think.
Perez makes the most sense & given he wasn't an Armas "I must have this guy" thing, probably was the stop gap just in case all along.
