Nelsen was Payne's guy, never TL or Bez's.
My gut feeling is that Nelsen felt his feet to the fire and tried to shift the blame. The idea that the GM lost them the game by asking for the players to step us is garbage.
It was surprising that when TL remade the team he left the coaching staff in place, instead of bringing in a world class coach. Maybe he didn't have someone better available. Maybe he wanted to give Nelsen a chance (especially given Nelsen's contacts).
You can be sure that by now there is a plan, regardless of what "interim" happens. Bez has contacts throughout the league and internationally. I expect that he can get someone good.

"Just two days ago was being told of rif between Nelsen and Bez. Big Tim was a fan. Little Tim thought he was not competent"
What's interesting to me is that if RN was a TL guy, this shows that TL is really here in name only. This 2015 is really just until a replacement is found. Bez is now in charge… fully.
Maybe MLSE should have kept Lieweke happy instead of pushing him out the door.
Nelsen out.
Now rumblings that Defoe wants back to EPL.
Also rumblings that Bradely wants back to the US. Probably because what he was sold here is all leaving.
WTF?!?
Is TFC about to have the biggest laughing stock implosion ever or what?

Tune in to @CP24 to catch the Press Conference starting at 4pm ET. #TFClive
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
I'll be interested in seeing how much of the staff stays.. like for example Jimmy B and Stewart Kerr.
I think so. Not only Nelsen but the entire coaching staff. We're done, at least for the rest of the year.
Any online link to the 4pm press conference?
nevermind...
need to at least wait out for the press conference see where we stand. probably on one leg.
EDIT: Nevermind, happened earlier in season
Let's remember that the guys playing for us are professionals, and many very talented professionals at that. A wake up call and a fresh start could be exactly what many on this team need.
Actually he is the best coach we have had todate, the players have sucked. They way they have played in the last month suggest a lot of BS behind the scenes...we were improving up to that time. Us as supporters will pay the price. Pathetic management..there are many ways to assert your authority rather than this. They will have to pay over the top to get a decent manager if one is prepared to come here at all.
So I guess they are not live streaming the press conference?
