A pair of summary pieces went up over at Waking the Red earlier this week, recounting the second day of season-ending press conferences, featuring Toronto FC's General Manager, Tim Bezbatchenko and Head Coach, Greg Vanney.
It was a pretty interesting day, both for things said and those left unsaid; a fitting end for an interesting season, full of twists and turns, positivity and disappointment.
Plenty of reasons to be optimistic; it will be a very busy off-season for TFC.
Check them out – Bezbatchenko and Vanney

The good folks over at VMP were kind enough to have me back on, despite my stepping on certain toes (Ca-Caaw!), to take part in a hefty post-mortem with Toronto FC’s season dashed against the rocks.
Plenty of topics were covered, from losses, to personnel, management, where things went wrong and what could happen over the next few months.
Was surprised how much we had to say about the club that keeps on disappointing….
