MLSE wasting no time under new management.

[argosrule2415]

TFC has to be the worst team when it comes to preventing goals in stoppage time of the halves and the last ten minutes of the game. Last night's game against the Timbers was a perfect example of it. The first goal was scored in stoppage time of the first half and the Timbers next three goals were scored in the final 10 minutes. This team is a joke.

Dear Sirs:

TFC Management Changes

I am writing because I believe that the recent management changes at TFC, and your president's comments on football/artificial turf, have seriously jeopardized the future of this club. From the moment Coach Cummins was allowed to leave, the team has jumped each year from one playing vision to its opposite, thereby preventing on field progress. At the same time, the experience of the supporters has declined – together with their passion. This is amply demonstrated by the fact that it is now necessary to have someone sing the national anthem, when previously supporters sang O Canada themselves, unaided.

Since the failed hiring of Preki as its coach, the club has desperately needed stability. Hiring an experienced and high level President/GM, only to fire him a few months later, is exactly the opposite of what is needed. It was either wrong to hire Mr. Payne, to fire him, or both. Similarly, either pursuing a skilled young player like Urruti for two years was wrong, trading him three weeks after acquisition was wrong – or both.

Here is my advice:

- Stabilize the management. Change simply has to stop – this is the last chance to get it right.

- Stabilize the team. Today, there are at least signs of passion and hard work on the pitch. Build on that with selective change. Don't start over.

- Stabilize the experience. End the speculation about the Argonauts CFL team coming to BMO. Mr. Leiweke’s suggestion that they might, and the necessary implication that they would play on artificial turf, was the wrong thing to say, at this time in particular. You risk losing the most committed supporters of TFC if the venue is changed to accommodate Canadian football, particularly if turf returns.

As you know, I have been an ardent supporter of TFC since you and MLSE first had the vision to bring Major League Soccer to Toronto. I have supported the team through thick and thin, defended management, was one of the first season ticket holders, and, in my former capacity, was instrumental in building the stadium and supporting its conversion to grass.

I am so frustrated with the latest management missteps that I am returning the remainder of my season tickets to you: it is the only way I can emphasize how serious the situation is for those of us who support TFC. Please donate them to an appropriate cause.

There once was magic at BMO Field. The latest reshuffle has made the possibility of that magic returning almost certainly disappear.

@iamdavidmiller Thx for the feedback Mr. Miller. We look forward to setting up a time for u to discuss w/Tim Leiweke in person. cc @MLSEPR

1-1 so far. Tough loss for TFC to lose their lone goal scorer.

Game over. Once again Montreal can thank Toronto. NY will be tougher.

Still undefeated against Montreal at BMO Field!

Yet Montreal is the one in playoffs. Looks like the suffering is finally over. Lieweke did wonders for the Galaxy. Hopefully he can start the same for TFC. Good luck next year.

They got lucky and just squeaked by. I hope this is the end of the suffering. TFC fans have been here to many times and despite Lieweke's past achievements I'm not getting excited until I see results on the field. I love the game and I love the fact that I have a local team to support but it hasn't been easy this season or the past few. I'm honestly just glad it's over and here's hoping your right about next year.

[Rocket22]

Well.. there's some good news for TFC financially. According to Forbes, the club is now valued at $121 million, up from $44 mil 5 years ago. Operating income is up from $2.1 mil/yr to $4.5 mil. That's nothing short of amazing considering the teams on-field history.

Rest of the league is also up in value significantly, from an average of $37 mil in 2008's Forbes valuation to $103 mil now. Seattle is the king (no surprise there), making $18 mil a year on a revenue of $48 mil and the club is now worth a whopping $175 mil. Pretty good return on investment for a franchise that was started for just $30 mil 4 years ago. I can feel a pretty big salary/DP budget increase coming with the new CBA!
