This all falls on Manning.
All down hill since 2018- 2020 was a fluke poz carrying tfc.
Bringing three Italians and increasing tickets by 40%.
No way what he envisioned justifies 40% increase .
Same issue can't score in the build up of play
Take away the corners ( clearly the Italians aren't being coached whatsoever)
Take away the penalties
Take away the individual brilliant bangers
How many goals does tfc have from build up ?
How many times does Bono need to bounce the ball off the opponent to get scored on.. lol.
This isn't even hindsight.
Are yall comfortable to let Manning and BB continue into 2023.
They gutted the wing backs , gutted the midfield.
The 7 games Perez had oso and Marky playing I can't remember the last time the midfield was fluid like that maybe 2017 and champions league 2018 run.
Got dang and those fugly grey kits.
Thought tfc were the reds
This is the interview in question quoting BB - as always, watch the video not just read the quotes

The usual postgame meltdown lol
Take deep breaths relax and enjoy the rebuild for 2023
Nothing is easy in this league specially not making playoffs
The great Bruce Arena and New England who won the Supporters Shield last year with the most points in MLS history have just missed playoffs
this is for bob and bill
Man this was a freaking depressing season. It's always worse after you get your hopes up a bit. You start off thinking: new coach (can't be worse), new chance, a bunch of changes. Then the first half of the season gets really bad. Followed by more naive hope: a couple of expensive internationals coming in, we'll make a run, team does pretty well for a while. Yet followed by: back to mostly bleak: "new" coach totally inflexible and lacking all self-awareness towards himself and his team. The new players get the excitement drilled out of them. Giving up many goals per game, but absolutely no change in tactics to avoid that.
Oh but 40% more for tickets next season, woohoo!!!
This has nothing to do with tonight's game, but one topic that never really was discussed much is why did Danny Dicchio leave TFC to coach Sacramento? Couldn't he have coached TFC II, or been made an assistant with TFC?
I been doing it since- the handling of Seba and Jozy.
This year I stepped back because it seemed like a lot of others who believed in this management took others subjective views personally and seemed to create a divide in this forum- first time I've seen this- wasn't as borderline toxic with Armas as its been with BB.
Almostef reminded me of raptors board and the TWO movement vs treadmill- toxic as fk
OK folks, no use getting ourselves all in a huff about a mix of highly-paid professionals and a bunch of journeymen. On a team owned by two members of Canada's suffocating media and telecom oligopoly. What a weird thing this ownership and this league actually is. It's surprising they at least let us have a good time now and then.
Peace out and good night!
I’m okay with missing the playoffs. Chances of this being a rebuilding year were always high.
But we missed it in a Chris Armas, Mo Johnston, “everything looks dysfunctional and time won’t fix it” sort of way. This isn’t like the early days with Vanney when the team looked okay but Perquis is playing CB and nobody was in midfield to be a creative catalyst.
If the board has any sense they’ll call Manning and Bradley the second the final whistle blows and tell them to clean out their desks. Harsh deal for Bob but not sure what he’s offing that warrants him staying.
But but but... Bill Manning knows how to type www.transfermarkt.com into his browser. Talent like that is hard to find!
Oh wait, I was supposed to be gone already. Ok now I'm really gone. Good night!
The best thing that could happen to TFC is if they were bought by a very wealthy person who is passionate about football, and who would then build a new football only stadium that is fully enclosed on all 4 sides. Anything owned by MLSE is eventually run into the ground
In that video, BB was asked if the slide was partly due to Oso being out. He didn't say "yes" but he came darn close to saying "we don't know how to adjust". Yeh...that bit there bugs me. A team should not be this bad simply because 1 player goes out.
If we lose either Insigne or Oso for a match, we are not good enough.
Anyways, neither Manning nor BB are going anywhere until next season's story is written.
To be fair MLSE have invested more in this team than any sane investor ever would. Any other owner would probably see us cut costs massively
The issue is who they've trusted with that money. We had one component person with the wallet and did great, everyone else calling the shots have had a pretty spectacularly poor return on that investment
Well at least we had 2017..... which is more than what Leafs fans can say.
I assume all players are still getting their paycheck this week in spite of the performance. There should be more merit-based remuneration in professional sports. I also agree with MLS bringing in relegation as someone else suggested above.
Reminder that Bez is why we had Zavs until last year & why we still have Bono - also Bez managed to torpedo a lot of good will in Columbus by attempting to change their logo..
If people want to fire the current president, Bez is not a good replacement
People love to cherry pick certain outcomes for some reason but nobody can credibly explain to me results pre Bez - results with Bez - results after Bez with anything that isn't he's the only competent GM we've ever had. Perfect? No. But not batting 1000 on every decision with the benefit of hindsight is a criteria nobody could be judged under
If you have an argument that explains those three eras of results (specifically the EXTREME delta of those results) as anything that isn't the only competent GM we've ever had I'm all ears but "what about this one specific contract!" Or "what about the signings that didn't work while we were dominating the league!" Isn't it. And that isn't even getting into winning a cup with a team with like ten percent of the resources we have.
Results speak. Start middle and end of discussion

ok we kinda knew we were not making the playoffs,but they added 5 so called starters,(i think kaye is average at best)and now they are getting embarrassed ,to me that shows they stopped playing for BB.he must go.
