The more I think about this - I'm not 100% comfortable with this whole situation. Feels like the same old BS that we've been through all these years now.

The best coach we've had is a guy that never coached a day in his life before he came here?Originally Posted by speckles
Really?
I disagree 100%
He'd be among the worst coaches we've ever had. I don't even call him a coach. Not only was a he a former player….he was a current player that we named as a coach.
Who was better?
everybody else seeing the "live coverage to begin shortly" screen?
any updates? Tsn.ca is not showing anything same with cp24 here in misssisauga?
Yup, that's all I am seeing.
on cp24 now
Chris Cummins.
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
presser just started. Vanney in as interim.
Conference just started. Vanney confirmed.
Cummins had an ultra talented team for that point in MLS and couldn't make the playoffs. He lost the dressing room completely when Robinson went down, who most on the inside have said was the one who was basically the coach anyway. Cummins was not better than Nelsen.
bez looks nervous as fuck
Chris Cummings, Preki, and Carver (barely).
Carver could design a set play that could score a goal, Nelsen can't despite this team competing on an athletic level which is a huge red flag.
Chris Cummings got us within one game of the playoffs despite have ZERO control over his roster and being actively undermined by Johnson at the same time. He said if they had offered him the full time job he would have told them where to put it.
Preki is an asshole, he plays brutal soccer, but his teams are well organized.
But none of these coaches are good enough.
EDIT: Vanney not in as interim. He's been given the full head-coaching gig.
omg not interm. So another guy with no First Team Head manager experience?
vanney is full time head coach
Vanney NOT interim.
I feel you... but this change should have been made in the off season, with Nelsen being offered a Assisting position until he learns the ropes.(which he likely wouldn't have taken)
He feels like Carver all over again... the silver lining is that Cummins wasn't bad. I'm holding onto that little bit of hope.
Bez on Nelsen's comments yesterday: "they were just excuses. We're not in the excuse business here".
Watching the presser. Whether you liked Nelsen or not we all know this is BS. We all know this doesn't work either (as Norwich showed last year). This is Titanic time.
this screams of politics
hire radomir antic you heard it here first

Just got back in from being out of town and I'll be honest, this does not come as any surprise to me. A few remarks from the presser after yesterday's game and a few other statements made prior to the match really spoke volumes about Nelsen and his relationship with the club.
I think this could actually be for the best, though I'll admit the timing doesn't help. Changing coaches this far into the season and with our current position in the standings isn't going to help the prospect of a playoff run, but there have been plenty of times this year when I really felt Nelsen just wasn't capable of getting the most out of the roster we have. We have been under-performing and I absolutely feel Nelsen deserves to shoulder some of the blame for that.
More than anything else, I get the feeling that MLSE feels it needs TFC to make the playoffs more than it ever did.

Did the USA , of all countries, just fix soccer? - C. Ronaldo, May 27th commenting on the FBI-led investigations into fraud and corruption throughout FIFA.
The difference is he has some experience in something.. but ya.. an experienced coach would be nice. It's been what 5 years since we had a coach start with first team experiences (not counting Mariner who was a train wreck) (though in his first 10 games he picked up a few wins and not so many loses before teams figured him out... if Varney can do that well in the last 10 matches we might stand a chance of making the playoffs)

Really?
Well you bias here resulting in most people not responding to you, just a good laugh instead. Look at this years record and who he brought in. unfortunately injuries have caused a tipping point in the season..now where do we go this season... unless little Tim has something lined up we are screwed.
Did they not have time to set up a proper press table?
It looks like they are holding the press conference in the corner of a denny's
This is a train wreck. Fire an inexperience coach and replace with another inexperienced coach. This will get worse before it gets better. He believes in 'the canadian player'? What does that mean? He should believe in all the players! This next coach will be a disaster based on this teleconference so far..
Bez: the club has received multiple offers for Defoe. They will discuss the offer(s) over the next 24 hours.
