Manning (#firemanning) is the worst thing that has happened to the Toronto FC Organization on player selection alone... this keeps it relevant to the TFC 2024 in-season roster discussion. Our hands are tied.
1) We cannot sign players this year or have to make ridiculous contortions because of the lack of proper oversight on his prior two GMs and that does not include the All-In bet below, unfortunately for injuries and the rest of the team selection has not proven right.
Remember his quotes about the signing... sorry LI, I actually like you and you have been class but the $15MM really sticks out like a sore thumb. There were no contingencies for Manning and TFC , so many unchecked bad contracts, so many young potential prospects discarded and every subsequent decision he has made in the last three years just made it worse. Manning has to be gone now, buy out the rest of the 5 year deal and #firemanning.
Pelley & MLSE need to do the right thing. Maning has been here long enough. TFC can be turned aroured much quicker than their other problem children (Raptors and Leafs).
