MB getting his badges! I have questions; lots! To begin, these few...
Is this an indication his injury is career ending; the surgery was not (as) successful?
Was the 'cover' of his injury-treatment location happenstance or an advantageous misdirection?
Why give the opportunity- for the picture- to go public now?
Is there any indication if it's the B or A part of The License?
If A, when did he actually start; pre-injury? IIUC, the full-course takes about 9 typical work weeks/hours; realistically, 3 to 6 months, to a year.
If A, where has he done, at what club, his in-field/on pitch coaching portion?
Through/at WalesFA-UEFA? oh boy, in of itself, this is too convenient, does make historical sense but is also suspect...

Oh god no. Exactly what I was worried about as well.
Thank you (as much as could be said) for that trip down memory lane. And also thank you to the poster who put a link for our roster at Winter’s last match with us, posted in the Cincinnati game thread. Wow, what a dreadful lineup we had! And really, it’s not that I don’t remember those Winter days but the league is so much better now in terms of roster strength.
A reminder too that the Vanneyout stuff was a bit silly. He seemed to me good at the start and simply needed an intelligent chance.
Bob, unfortunately, came out with a poor team very much of his own making, and not much desire to win anything much. It was downright shameful.
This deathwatch is in and by itself deadly: 35 pages, over 1000 posts....
My take is about this same.
Unfortunately, my guess would be that from the season 2024 he'll be player-assistant to whoever will be TFC's headcoach (even if his dad remains {??????}, though that would be mind boggling, probably a world-first in any noteworty pro league in the World, having father+son = head+assistant coach), and earliest from the 2025 season, latest from the 2026 season he'll be head coach for TFC.
IMHO the Bradley family's reign over this franchise is a franchise-historical one, going for at least 2 decades, unfortunately.
I really really hope I am fundamentally wrong.
I'm not someone who needs a high standard of football or a winning team to go watch. I've basically been a season ticket holders for my local team (in 3 countries) since I was around 15, and at times that local team has been a mid table second tier of Irish football team - semi pro would be a generous definition. Our star striker was fatter than half the people in the stands. Coming home from away trips it was common to run into the team in tesco getting snacks. I've never been a "if we don't win I won't renew" kind of person
But if we're still Bradley fc next season, for the first time in decades, I really don't think I'll renew. I've absolutely no interest in watching that. None whatsoever. The prospect of years more of that doesn't make me sad it just makes me give up
I've never understood the grip Michael has on the team and club and now his dad seems to have the same. If the plan is for him to take over as his first ever coaching gig having had a few years of his dad shitting the bed it'll be years before we can start to recover

So let me get this straight...
Bradley while getting paid $1.6M USD is not here in Toronto to recover whatever this mysterious injury is that didn't happen in a game....and getting his coaching license on our dime/time?
Why isn't he here with team and phsios, at team meetings, watching the games...
This is just getting worse and worse....
How do these bradleys have this much power and hold on the club? And not in a "good way"...ffs....boot manning and bradleys out of here today...enough is enough.
I think like Joe said...we are stuck with the manning/bradleys and they are not going anywhere....and like he said, its not making me sad..(am past that and anger at the s.hitshow this has become)...but me hoping for anything to happen is jsut wishful thinking...like Joe said..I just give up.
Will not be renewing and only when/if all three of these guys are gone, will I return to watch some games...but never again for seasons...this club took die hard fans like me for granted...but they won't ever fool me again...am done.
Let’s step back a minute here. Things are awful, our management team is clueless, and MLS HO and the league in general myopically worship the Bradley’s.
But promoting each of them upwards or Michael becoming coach in Bob’s place? Only our imaginations are supporting that narrative.
Not saying it’s going to instantly get better but TFC apocalypse is not here yet.
Can we just close this and call it “fire Bob Bradley” I feel like the board has made up its mind
7 points out of the last playoff....starting to drift away. IF the losses continue, the drift will become too much to ignore.
The deathwatch count to me is down to 4
A win is +1
A loss is -1
A draw is 0
If it hits 0, BB will be gone because we will not be able to recover to make the playoffs.
Next week is a game at home against the best away team in the league, & Maestrioni LOVES to beat Bradley & Arena teams - I suspect that will be a draw, at best.
FWIW and not sure if this has been highlighted before. IIUC, the British SoccerAM comedy talk show poking fun at BB for his Swansea City stint/fiasco. A series of about 6? 'Brad Bobley('s) Soccer Camps' sketches...

Check out this tweet at https://twitter.com/TorontoFC/status/1673326522776576001
Terry Dunfield is um an interesting pick. Can’t be there for long you’d think.
Dunfield? Really?
Well couldn't be worse I guess.
now bill the clown must go.how does this guy still have a job
It actually happened.
FYI...'Terry Dunfield has been appointed interim Head Coach of Toronto FC.'; Sorber dismissed also! No mention of 'Roy Kent'?
i cant wait for the manning presser tomorrow and all the softball questions by the shills that cover the team
Wow. A lot happens when you're stuck in a meeting.
Who has the last giggle?
