The BBC is reporting today that Paul Mariner has left his head coach post at Plymouth Argyle to pursue opportunities elsewhere.
Mariner, the former New England Revolution coach, has been linked with a Toronto move dating back to the early Johnston years.

But the rumour picked up again last week when Soccer By Ives reported that Mariner had once again emerged as a candidate. Sources told Candian Soccer News at that time that Mariner had inquired and met with TFC officials weeks ago but the discussions didn't immediately advance.
Mariner's sudden departure from Plymouth, coupled with a CSN report yesterday that Toronto FC had made a sudden shift in its front office hunt, certainly suggests he is now on the inside track for a job at Toronto FC.
Canadian Soccer News will have more on this later today.
