My patience for TFC is running thin. Not with the team—not
winning I can deal with—but the overall lack of everything. Let’s just say,
Nesta hit hard.
To me, it’s hard to see the management passion for TFC. Is
it there? Maybe, but I sure as hell can’t see it, and that’s what has become my
growing concern: I don’t see any push for anything, other than media-friendly
press releases. Honestly, I don’t care to be spoon fed crap about looking to
the future; I could make a TFC drinking game out of “looking to the future.” I
want to know what that future is. Who we’re looking at. What is being done.
I’d like to stress, especially after our 3 – 0 loss today, this
is not because we’re not winning. This is not so we can eventually make a
playoff spot. This has nothing to do with the actual team. I am writing this
post because I want someone, anyone,
to prove to me that yes, management does care.
Because let’s face it: why should I be bothered if they
don’t (seem) to?
Truth be told, Nesta was (in my opinion) a huge fuck up, and
really, one of the last straws for me. Hints and whispers that the club was
actually going to do something significant, something major, and Montreal snaps
him up almost effortlessly. Well, Joey Saputo snapped him up, because he knew
what he wanted, and went for it. He wants his team to win, and does what he can
to make it so.
Of course, it helps that it’s his team and not own by some larger, giant, faceless, corporation
who has TFC low on their list of priorities (though, does no one else find the
Nash-Raptor-rumours that happened at the same time hilariously coincidental/pathetic?)
Sure, TFC may have been doing something behind the scenes, but the problem is we
don’t know anything about it and therefore, it may as well not exist.
Now, I’m not saying dealings, signings (etc.) have to be shared
immediately and publically; no, I’m not that naïve. But it would be nice to see
some passion behind the club (management-wise, again, nothing about this post
is towards the actual team), or some drive. Because right now, all I see is a
giant “fuck you, we can do whatever the hell we want,” except, they aren’t
doing anything. That doesn’t mean I am necessarily saying “Fire _____” or “Hire
____” (because no one listened to me then, either), all I’m saying is give me
something, anything, to show me that you care.
I have never seen an owner (and I used that term lightly) so
passionless in my life, even Pozzo does more! And yes, Toronto FC, that is a
major burn.
When it comes down to it, I find myself asking: why should I
care if no one else seems to? Because quite frankly, I’m getting sick and tired
of the complete lack of respect Toronto FC (note, not the team, have I stressed that enough?!) has for their fans. And
I am getting an increasing amount of respect, and admiration, for Joey Saputo, especially when I see things like this:
This of course, was in response to this:
Is it also a business deal? Sure. But at least he gives a
damn (publically) about his team. And yes, I am envious about that.
But for now, I will shut up and put my faithless faith in a
bunch of ties while they (I can only assume) do nothing. All for one, right?
Thanks for making me lose faith, Toronto FC.
Hopp,
scm.
Post script: And boys, thanks for giving me reason to keep
wearing a TFC shirt.
An excellent article. You've crystallized something that's been nagging at me for a while!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Sometimes I feel like I'm constantly being told to, "shut my mouth and say thank you" if you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteGood read sonja, tired of the blinded tfc fans who can't see this. Angers me. Hopp
ReplyDeleteNice blog. Your stuff reminds me a bit of www.spanglyprincess.com (I think she's on a bit of a hiatus, but her stuff is excellent). - AG
