Toronto FC to retain Carver
I'm glad to hear that. I would like to see what he can get out of this team with a proper preseason.
Also good to hear for those saying Mo made all the signings and shit."He's let me get on with my job, and I appreciate the fact that he hasn't interfered with the team. He's not told me what players to pick."
Carver revealed he's already sat down with Johnston and talked about what they plan to do to strengthen the roster for next season.
"We're already planning for when this season comes to an end about where we're going, what we’re going to do and how we're going to recruit," Carver explained.
"It's important that we don’t react to the situation now and bring in new people just for the sake of it. That's why we're thinking long-term and about next season."
That's not to say Carver has thrown in the towel on the current campaign.
can we get him a decent striker and oh... i dunno... defenders?Originally Posted by Shaughno
neways... good on Carver.
JOHN CARVER! FUCK THE WORLD!
^^
Next weeks banner idea, I love it

My MLS now includes Montreal... we needed someone to hate.
it's very fitting.
I agree, let's see how he does with a full MLS season under his belt. Now that the shock of how totally fucked this league is, is most likely wearing off
ya, i think he'll be better next year with a year's experience. you can't coach MLS the same way you coach over in England. As you say, I think he's finally adjusting to what needs to be done in MLS. It has its own quirky, weird reality. He'll also have much better knowledge now of his opposition's tendencies. He'll know what kind of quality you need to succeed here.I agree, let's see how he does with a full MLS season under his belt.

was he ever a head coach ?? I thought he was always under training to be a coach. please correct me if I'm wrong
One game for Newcastle and 4 for Leeds if I recall correctly. He was also an Assistant manager at Luton Town before us.
Oh wow,
so he had a grand toatl of 5 games as a head coach before he came to TFC.
My gosh I have to send a personal apology to him. I've been so hard on him but I didn't know. It's not his fault. He is just a young rookie coach learnung the ropes. Okay I say give him another 10 years
why then is he so hard on our rookie players?? Somewhat double satndards.......
Carver was a Caretaker at both Luton and newcastle.....with means he was a coach on a temp basis at these clubs
Caretaker????
me too....hopefully the lynch carver threads will subside
I doubt that.
I'm starting to think that about 60-65% of the people on this forum are mindless drones, who hate the team and themselves.
hahaha..best thing ive heard in a couple days

LMAO!!!!!!!!
i had to laugh at this one...........
its funny cuz its so true.
You're right. In fact, they must have all watched a different season. It's not like we're a bottom feeder who has been second best tactically in just about every single game this season.
Right?
A similarity between blind optimists and blind pessimists? I can't find one.
Assuming your false supposition that we were "second best tactically" were true; in more than half the games we lost, we outshot the opposition, several times substantially. And under Carver, we had the longest home shutout streak so far for the team. So tactically, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
So then we play effective football? It's ugly and we lose...
"The longest home shutout streak so far"? What the fuck does that mean? lol. Hey, you didn't even bring up the fact that we haven't had a 9 game scoring drought this year.
Setting aside the fact that, they've been outshot the majority of the time (check the stats), some of those games in which they had more shots they got creeeeamed. Not to mention they were rediculously outshot on occasion. Shots make effective football? EPL fan I guess.
I like Carver a lot but not as head coach.
Best news to hit TFC after a week of crap from the MLS office, this should be a busy off season maybe enough to keep the Leafs off peoples minds..haha
A couple of good signings should make the off season shorter....
Great news! In Carver we trust!!! Now he has a base with these players and they can build on the system that Carver intraduced this year.
Welcome back Carver!
welcome back, welcome back, welcome back...
carver deserves a few beers for wearing a tie on sat-day...
OK but I wonder if we should do an "open letter" type thing about his propensity to call players out in public. I have always wanted him to stay, but just cringe when he takes players apart in the press conferences
He's done it with Velez today - sure it's deserved, but that's not the point, there was no need to air this in public.
It may be refreshing, but it's divisive.
I'm not so sure it's such a problem or so divisive. Certainly there are "player's coaches" who defend their guys too much and maybe Carver goes too far the other way, but not all players respond the same.
Maybe treating the players like professionals and adults is the right way to go.
Though I admit, you'll probably see less of it next year as he settles into the job more.
Not to rehash a topic we've debated before, but, while successful coaches can be quite colourful post-game (think Mourinho or Ferguson), they never go as far as Carver does on a weekly basis
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
I don't follow European football, but I'll take your word for it.
At the beginning of this year, Carver reminded me of US college football coach. That's kind of the way he treated the players and it's how he dressed.
Now he's wearing a tie and is coming back next year and I think you'll see a few more changes - the calling out of the players is one and the way he talks about the league is another.
All I'm saying is I don't think you need an open letter or anything, I think he gets it (of course, if it continues, then sure).
Great news.
Welcome back...
The trolls were your ticket out...
Welcome back...
To that same old turf we complain about..
