Quality, quality choice. I’m sure they really did their due diligence on every candidate and came to the conclusion there was nobody better than Earl..

I am not sure why there is such sarcasm here.  Cochrane was part of the management team that led TFC to 6 whole wins in 2013.  His performance was so exceptional, the team decided that instead of just giving him the reins to run the organization, it would better to just let him go so he can seek out better options!!

The sarcasm is because everyone posting feels hes a terrible hire.

I think @Metro was playing along with said sarcasm.

What a joke...the tsn article comes out. Then almost immediately the CSA releases the September friendly games, to try to change the subject. Then they try to sneak the Cochrane hire through the media.

I am glad the teams had a response ready to put the pressure back on the CSA

Apparently Cochrane was actually given this role months ago

I'm not sure the teams had a response ready. My suspicion is that Janine Beckie had a response ready, or am I giving her too much credit? 

If you ever saw Jordyn and Alphonso together, it was clear the former had an IQ about 40% higher, just saying.

Gareth Wheeler’s role in Canadian Soccer journalism now equates to being the head of the Russian / Chinese / fill-in-the-blank dictator-run country’s media.

This is beyond embarrassing.

He has become the new Fergie Oliver  of Soccer . Jays fan would know who I am talking about .

As far as I can tell only Peter Galindo and Amy Walsh have called out this hiring. 

Of course the clown Wheeler had come out in support.
