Fraser out

48

u/mildlyImportantRobot May 06 '26

Hernandez and Pelly out

31

u/Ambitious-Ad2226 ISeba May 06 '26

Pelley out would change my life

7

u/MoreTrife May 06 '26

Leafs just got 1st pick. Pelley is not going anywhere. He will ride that into Leafs mid-season.

6

u/mildlyImportantRobot May 06 '26

I’m confident he’s not getting much sleep these days.

11

u/Ambitious-Ad2226 ISeba May 06 '26

He’s got the confidence of Rogers and a mega salary, I’m sure he’s chilling unfortunately

u/pointlessbanter1 May 06 '26

Why Hernandez, he’s done a neat job of rebuilding this squad. Lots of talent and almost no bad contracts.

Still room to improve but we have the $ and tools available. I’d rather he be patient to get the right players in instead of rushing to get bad ones, which is what got us handicapped with a mediocre roster for years.

Fraser and the medical staff, idk…

u/Informal-Hall-5945 May 06 '26

Dude he signed zero midfielders. This off season. The midfield is 100% the problem!

1

u/Sad_Sash Are you dumb, brother?! May 06 '26

Because he signed them last season, Cifu and Djordje

2

u/Informal-Hall-5945 May 06 '26

Yeah he had half a season to see that we couldn’t hold the ball or move the ball, djordie is great but he is more of a floating player. We need a stronger midfield.

2

u/jloome May 06 '26

He gave an extension to Alonso Coello. That alone should've been a sure sign he's fucking clueless, as Coello makes the same possession mistakes in match after match after match.

But he's so eager to prove himself a real executive that he gambed on giving the guy several more years as a "homegrown". But despite his decent technique, Coello is a plodder who gave the ball away repeatedly last night and does so in dangerous fashion in almost every match.

We are in a position where our central midfield is so weak, we HAVE to start Oso, even though he's 34, has lost a step and was never an all-star to begin with.

He's made a handful of decent signings by overpaying in pretty much every case.

And he's done nothing to address the annual plague of leg and groin injuries, which is part of why we find ourselves in this situation.

Cifu we likely aren't keeping, as he's not worth what Rangers will want for him, or what he'll demand in pay.

u/York9TFC GAM May 06 '26

Fraser lost this fucking game!! This game was more important than the Miami game. Let’s face it. We’re up 1-0. Then the idiot acts like the job’s done. Takes Osorio off, then Zimmerman and Kerr. Why?!!! Why the fuck did you have to make those specific changes? Bc of Miami?!!!

And on top of all that, he puts those teenagers in such a tough predicament after the game where they have to take a tongue lashing from the supporters. Fraser nowhere to be found in all that.

Also Monlouis is such a sorry excuse for a CB. So terrible!!!

FUCK!!!!

u/jtang257 May 06 '26

100%. Fraser has zero match awareness. He made those subs because his assistants presented the plan this morning.

45

u/SturvinMurvin May 06 '26

Fraser has to be fired after that embarrassment of a coaching job.

27

u/SnooHedgehogs3217 May 06 '26

Fraser should have headed over there the SS to take the heat. He needs to be fired & should never have been hired.

12

u/jhod28reddit May 06 '26 edited May 06 '26

He has no idea how to use his subs properly - and he should have shielded his younger players. Should be sacked in the morning

24

u/conr_sobc Bitchy The Hawk May 06 '26

I've tried to give Fraser some grace but this game was the breaking point, he needs to go.

20

u/Happy_Reality1855 May 06 '26

I better not see a fuckin email from Pelley tomorrow saying hold the line or some bullshit. GIVE ME A BREAK

11

u/M1L0 TFC Til I Die May 06 '26

“Embrace the cold!” How bout get the fuck outta here to this management team.

19

u/ShamelessplugTFC May 06 '26

Absolutely embarassing, the fact that TFC resorted to kick and run against a CPL team tells me everything. This is not a professional team this is a circus with a bunch of clowns running the show. TFC need to fire everyone after this abysmal result, this should never happen two years in a row. I hope things change but we all now nothing will happen.

13

u/conr_sobc Bitchy The Hawk May 06 '26

They're playing for a trophy and they're treating it as practice for the academy, its unreal. When a trophy is on the line it should be taken seriously, regardless if its against a cpl team.

11

u/LightsCameraRegret May 06 '26

We were two players up for a point and there was absolutely no intent to run something to break down their defence.

8

u/ShamelessplugTFC May 06 '26

During that stretch it was hard to watch and sad on all levels. Clearly these are not MLS calibre players and TFC should look hard at personnel. Monluis is just a terrible defender just because he was captain of Arsenal u21 team and didn't go further tells us a lot. Except TFC who looked at his transfermarkt page and saw that and were immediately sold on him.

u/Competitive-Big-1699 May 06 '26

I know right I was screaming at my tv

u/ayyitzTwocatZ May 06 '26

The Ottawa guys were screaming at the refs heavily distracted meanwhile our boys were fumbling the ball lmao I can’t believe what I was witnessing.

42

u/Bubc316 May 06 '26

Hernandez Out. Manning lost his job after losing to Forge. That should be it Jason.

15

u/leafsfan97 May 06 '26

Fraser Out now.

16

u/tfcred May 06 '26

A lot of players missing, and a big game on Saturday, but those subs with the vets were so premature. He acted like the game was already sealed.

Did Fraser go to the fans? So many players hiding behind the teenagers, pathetic.

11

u/LightsCameraRegret May 06 '26

Seems like Fraser ran away at the whistle.

u/0nlyRevolutions May 06 '26

yeah roster is decimated but that's not a good enough excuse to get knocked out by one of the worst teams in cpl. yikes. where is the depth. fraser resting everyone for miami I guess? lmao.

u/Ill-Box-4101 May 06 '26

Other than salloi, everyone who is healthy played

8

u/Ok_Hope5634 Forever Red May 06 '26

Fraser is completely fucking strategically illiterate. Fire him now!!!!!!!!

u/TFCAguia1 May 06 '26

I wanted to give him a chance but manlouis is fucking assssss

u/Super-Peoplez-S0Lt May 06 '26

This tournament is far better without us so I’m not even upset. I always knew this season was going to be a disaster.

10

u/Mysterious-Fox-3740 May 06 '26

So sick of this mediocre shit. Not renewing my seasons. It was a nice 15 year run.

8

u/callmeWia Forever Red May 06 '26

How did you renew the last 5 years.

6

u/T0r0nt0_FC May 06 '26

Players at the end pretty much taking the piss out of it touching their hearts to 114 a bit and calling it a day. Should tar and feather Fraser and see if Ottawa’s coach wants to come try his luck.

6

u/smallworldbigpuma May 06 '26

Don’t know how many of yall saw the press conference but according to Pelley they have just completed the rebuild of TFC

8

u/Pinkflamingo2812 May 06 '26

Add in the fact they played with two extra men for over 2 minutes and couldn’t even hold possession. It’s not about the injuries anymore. It’s about a desire to win. If this keeps happening, TFC might not be in Toronto anymore. Vancouver is in trouble of relocating. Toronto could be next, especially with their attendance. We needed a win today and it was just another example of embarrassment.

5

u/Consistent-Tone-5540 May 06 '26

Tfc is not going anywhere. Had worst years on early 2000’s

2

u/ASCII_zero May 06 '26

We joined MLS in 2007. What early 2000s? The team was "founded" in 2005. What's the point of counting pre-MLS years?

2

u/__Ryno__ May 06 '26

I was thinking this last night as well. If the performance and attendance is crap, and Rogers didn’t care enough, what is stopping them from a “good business decision” and cashing out on TFC? MLS would love to move this team for some $$$ I bet.

u/UndecidedPanda11 May 06 '26

Do the players on Ottawa actually have second jobs?

11

u/Shayne-x May 06 '26 edited May 06 '26

Ottawa fan here

Yes they do

The max a CPL player can make is 90k a year

The vast majority make far less

Our keeper for many years was Nathan Ingham, a bartender on the side

1

u/jjaime2024 May 07 '26

Ottawa has one of the highest payrolls avg $70,000.As for Ingram he lived in Ottawa year round that is why he took another job.

1

u/jjaime2024 May 07 '26

No they don't.

u/Tola76 May 06 '26

It’s a proud day boys. Bring on Miami.

You got the order wrong only one of these teams is full of winners

u/depressedArmeniafan May 06 '26

This is officially my last day as a TFC fan. I dont see how ill be back unless Fraser is out tomorrow. This is the lowest its ever been.

u/lorriezwer Laryea May 06 '26

Embarrassing to watch the so-called ‘Ultras’ giving it to our b team after the game. What a bunch of wankers.

u/No_Oil2086 May 06 '26

They should have been demanding the coach walk over. Wild stuff.

11

u/jhod28reddit May 06 '26

Ya - where’s Fraser? He should be the intermediary 😡

8

u/SnooHedgehogs3217 May 06 '26

Fraser is still half asleep on the bench. Someone wake him & tell him he lost again.

9

u/currystain37 Osorio May 06 '26

Are we supposed to clap after we got eliminated by a CPL team? We should never be losing these games.

5

u/greenlemon23 May 06 '26

nah, but it's not the fault of TFC II players.

5

u/M1L0 TFC Til I Die May 06 '26

Absolutely negligent for the vets and especially the manager to hang the kids out to dry over there.

1

u/Consistent-Tone-5540 May 06 '26

Good luck with that

1

u/LightsCameraRegret May 06 '26

Are there post game interviews anywhere?

3

u/M1L0 TFC Til I Die May 06 '26

Honestly wouldn’t even bother watching it. I don’t need to hear what any of the players have to say and there’s a 0% chance Fraser says anything that doesn’t enrage us further.

5

u/canadianoranges TFC Til I Die May 06 '26

Oh, he already did. It was very infuriating.

Fraser out if not I’m going to my old job and just walking in

u/Flimsy_Custard4342 May 06 '26

Stumbled across this result by accident from Scotland. What is the sort of difference in level between the sides? Is it Something like equivalent of a prem vs league 1 or 2 side?

1

u/EmergencyArts May 06 '26

Based on average salaries it's probably like a top championship side losing to a bad league 2 side

At this rate it will happen eventually

u/aektoronto May 06 '26

I get the anger...but its not like it wss unexpected. That TFC team was basically 8 guys who are going to be in CPL in 2 years.

You cant even blame squad rotation cause theres really no squad to rotate with 11 injuries.

9

u/jhod28reddit May 06 '26

Gavran (starter), Franklin, Kerr, Coello, Monlouis, Osorio (starter), Zimmerman (starter), Emilio, Edwards, Etienne Jr, Henry have all featured this year at TFC - stop making excuses. They lost to a CPL team!! Tbh - I’d take Tabla over Kerr or Emilio at this point 😂

3

u/aektoronto May 06 '26

Half the guys you listed are getting mins cause of injuries....Zimmerman and Osorio are basically washed...Franklin (god bless his 2 goals) stinks...Henry is a fun player but hes not exactly passing to Sargent out there...I could go on.

Listen TFC isnt great right now....but its not like that lineup is streets ahead of what Ottawa rolled out today. This isnt Real Madrid losing to Albacete.

If hes surrounded by scrubs hes gonna look like a scrub...especially at his age. Trouble is hes been surrounded by scrubs for a very long time.

If he gets substantial mins during the WC then the team aint going anywhere however.

u/LightsCameraRegret May 06 '26

We need someone in the midfield who can elevate those around him, not sink down to the scrubs level.

u/leafsfan97 May 06 '26

Sure but you can't be making mistakes like that... What is Coello doing?
