I’d argue it is, but I can see the POV that you can get away without spending designated player money there. It’s true Espinoza wasn’t and Alonzo isn’t on DP dollars, but I’d say they both have that...

This is the one thing they've done that I'd unquestionably give full marks to. Guys like Ozzie Alonso, Roger Espinoza, Diego Chara are critical to MLS teams.

He was certainly slow, but TFC bungled some things prior to his starting. The prior staff extended contracts and made preparations for next season directly before Payne came in. The race might have...

^ In terms of what was reported and confirmed, they were close with one at it fell through. The other stuff was speculative so we don't know how serious it really was.

If management is really...

Signings have been troubling. I had hoped this would be the area where TFC would improve the most. We can't accumulate all the players we need instantly, but our hit-rate has been astronomically...

Agreed, it's starting to get sticky. I was a big fan of bringing in Payne. Nelsen I was less sure, but with the number of young coaches who have caught on recently I was mildly positive about it.
...

^ TFC staff probably aren't feeling too stable right now. Looking at what's happening with the raptors, they've been completely ruthless about clearing out the rot. They fired Alvin Williams today,...

Agreed, it would be a bad attempt at a short term fix.

Now that being said, I do not think Dunfield had any role left with this team. He was a major eyesore out there when he played, no way...

He can certainly keep things going well enough, but in his role with Canada Hutchinson been box-to-box at best, never an out-and-out attacker. Any midfield needs players like Hutchinson and Johnson,...

That would be a happy ending IMO.

Although, I have to say I'm concerned that TFC continually houses ex-players within it's coaching staff. There should be more allowances to bring in local...

These comparisons are unfair. Nobody out there is relying on Hutchinson for creativity. He can be described as box-to-box yes, but it is mostly to cover ground, be the outlet for the simple pass. ...

Makes you think about how they played this one... You could argue the CSA could have voiced their disapproval but stayed hands off, while hoping the media would ratchet up the pressure and without...

Exactly.

And my god, has anyone actually considered that we played Dero because even though he's not perfect he was still the best option we had by a large margin?

Given R Legendre’s prior background and this sudden controversy I have to question whether fiduciary duties have been breached. This is not to say that PQ types are unfit to serve, but in this case...

Agreed. There are still some things that are being tip-toed around so far or haven't come to the forefront.

1) Despite how unpopular this decision is in the public as a whole, is it actually...

The most relevant term you’d be looking for in this case is reservation price (the highest price any buyer at a given time is willing to pay). The players are selling, the clubs are buying. The...

I'm enjoying everyone having skin in the game on this.

We'll get to see how the whole corporate governance process "works". My guess is we'll find out not much has changed and it's backwards as...

All this character talk that gets mulled around here is nothing but a red herring. We should just cut it off at the pass and say our team isn't very talented. Is anyone going to complement the...

But really, who on Canada does put the ball in the net? Even if it's just against minnows.... Scoring against anybody makes you an asset for Canada.

We're just not a very talented squad. If...

Rennie and his personnel decisions are baffling.

This was a second round playoff team early last year that was readily overalled and made worse. I find it deeply ironic that Kenny Miller gets...

I'd go for something like this:

-----Cavalinni-----------Jackson-------
--------------De Rosario----------------
----Johnston---Hutchinson---Tiebert--
De Jong---Attakora---Edgar---Hainault...

It's an interesting idea.

Admittedly, the players have the power but if we adopted a "3 calls to be capped or you are out" policy or something of the sort, it might start forcing players to make...

You don't stick around the game as long as Jazic has without being seriously smart. Think he'll be a great coach.

I back that 100%.

He can play wherever he wants, but no rolling out the welcome matt for guys who are going to fence sit or choose other places to play.

He can train somewhere else until he...
