OT: TFC/Argos President Bill Manning - Gone

[Westside Gunn]

I love how this article is about the TFC/Argos Pres firing, but so few people give a crap that it's just turned into a Shatkins bash fest lol.

I guess nobody care bout bootleg EPL and NFL

My #1 fear is Larry/Bell moving on and Rogers taking full control of the Raptors.

Yup. They are much more comfortable with mediocrity than risk taking. If Rogers owns the team, there won't be any real vision for improvement and it'll be constant ownership second guessing and re-tread coaches and execs. A guy like Masai won't fit that culture at all.

Will make the OTPP days look great by comparison.

It’s interesting to wonder about what this means for Bobby and probably more-so Shanahan. Maybe even Masai gets the sack in a couple years if the rebuild isn’t going smoothly.

I gotta say the MLS on-field product isn’t far away from EPL. It’s a different style of play though. Give it 30 years.

I have yet to hear a counter opinion re: Rogers. Not as a corporation, not as a family (individuals are fine, but not Ed and not the conflict between them), and not even with the product. Definitely not with their customer service.

SHAPIRO up next! Cmon Rogers..

How could one guy be in charge of such different sports? Was he a football guy or a soccer guy? Or just a business guy?

Soccer guy. Argos fall under the same umbrella. Makes sence because MLS, and CFL are a smaller (outfit ) compared to MLB, NBA.

Hope that explains it.

Yeah I guess Pinball is the highest ranked actual football guy, and now he reports directly to Pelley

Yep.

Not sure if you're a baseball guy but, I'm curious to see what Rogers does with their president after the season

Atkins should have been gone last fall after the playoffs. But it's funny this thread turned into a bash Shapiro and Atkins thread. They deserve it. But Manning was with MLSE. The Jays are different being owned by Rogers only. I don't think an MLSE firing has any bearing on the Jays

I get what you're saying. My point being is that Manning and Shapiro under their leadership, their teams have faired poorly. Tfc one a championship under Manning but the blue Jays have done very little under Shapiro

[ontnut]

I could live with hovering 5-10 games below .500 if they were a fun, energetic team. This Jays team is completely unwatchable.

We had a fun, homer hitting, good-time having team. Shatkins said that having fun is why we're not winning. So now we're not having fun, and also still not winning.
