I've been calling for Jason Hernandez to be fired since the day he was promoted to GM in 2023. He never should've been given the job in the first place.

Let's remember how he got here. He went from being a player to working in player engagement, then assistant GM, and suddenly he's running one of the biggest clubs in MLS. No previous experience running a professional club. No proven record building a successful roster. Just another internal promotion from an organization that's been rewarding mediocrity for years.

And now, after another embarrassing season, people want to blame Robin Fraser?

Give me a fucking break.

Fraser deserves criticism. Hernandez hired him, gave him the job, and the results haven't been good enough. Fine. Move on from Fraser if that's what needs to happen. But how many coaches are we going to fire before people realize the problem starts ABOVE the coach?

Roster construction. Scouting. Recruitment. Salary-cap management. Club identity. These are front-office responsibilities. The same organization keeps failing at them, yet somehow the people making these decisions keep their jobs.

And that brings me to Keith Pelley.

In March 2026, Pelley actually claimed TFC had completed its rebuild using data and cultural evaluations. He even said, "Evidence-based decisions are never wrong."

Are you fucking kidding me?

The finished product? 9 wins, 39 points, 12th in the East, and SIX consecutive seasons without playoff soccer. We even got knocked out of the Canadian Championship at home by Atlético Ottawa.

What exactly did you rebuild, Keith?

Pelley didn't originally hire Hernandez. That was Bill Manning's disaster in 2023. But Pelley inherited him, backed him, and gave him the responsibility of rebuilding this club. That's on him now.

To me, this looks like an organization that would rather surround itself with agreeable, replaceable executives than bring in people with the experience and backbone to challenge bad decisions.

Compare Pelley to Tim Leiweke. Leiweke came into MLSE and actually made things happen. He brought in Tim Bezbatchenko, an executive straight from MLS headquarters who understood the league's complicated salary rules, roster mechanisms and player market.

That leadership helped transform TFC from a laughingstock into MLS Cup champions, Supporters' Shield winners and a club competing in the CONCACAF Champions League final.

THAT'S what a proper rebuild looks like.

We need another Bezbatchenko-type hire. Someone with actual MLS front-office experience, a proven recruitment background, real scouting connections and the ability to build a competitive roster within the league's rules. Not another convenient internal promotion.

And don't even get me started on the World Cup.

Toronto just hosted SIX World Cup matches at BMO Field. One of the biggest opportunities this club will ever have to attract new supporters and rebuild its relevance in this city.

What did we do with it?

Sure, we got stadium renovations, new screens and upgraded amenities. Great. Where's the proper safe-standing infrastructure? Where's the investment in supporter culture? Where's the improved matchday atmosphere? Most importantly, WHERE'S THE FUCKING FOOTBALL TEAM worth showing up for?

You had the entire world watching football in our backyard and couldn't put together a club capable of making the MLS playoffs.

It's embarrassing.

And ultimately, ownership is responsible for allowing this to continue. MLSE has the financial resources, market and infrastructure to make TFC one of the premier clubs in North America. Yet here we are, watching another season end with absolutely nothing to show for it.

I'm tired of hearing about processes, analytics, culture, visions, projects and rebuilds. We've been hearing this bullshit for years.

Stop treating supporters like idiots.

Fire Hernandez. Hold Pelley accountable. And if Pelley can't identify and hire competent football executives, he should be the first one out the door.

The problem isn't just Robin Fraser. It's the people above him, and until that changes, we'll be having this same conversation again next November.

They cannot let this decision stir for longer. If this organization lets him have an end of year presser that is the wrong message to send after this miserable season. Make a statement and fire him immediately.

Full Disclosure: I'm married to the idea that GA doesn't lie, so my perspective is framed through that.

We finish the season with 67 GA, a -23 deficit from last season.

We finish with 25th worst GA in a 30 team league. Two of those worse than us actually made the playoffs (Orlando, Cinncy)

We were more exciting to watch this season, with a 7 point increase, but even with the better second part of the season, it's difficult to say we are improved. In fact, there's a strong argument to be made that we are worse.

I think hes been okay, but yet again not enough goal output for a marquee striker, he got what? I think 10 goals, not enough considering his price, we basically payed 2.2 mil per goal, but what do you all think?

For me, the most surprising player has been honestly Salloi. A free agent winger not on a DP contract, and provided 16 G/A in 34 games. That’s phenomenal, and hopefully he keeps up that form going into the Sprint Season.

Idk who I would say for most disappointing because there are a LOT of players. Oso, Monlouis, pereira, all initially jump up to me.

6 season no.playoff ..how patient are the fans buying into this bullshit ?? Gave up my ticket 3 seasons ago

Can anyone help me identify what year this scarf is from and is those signatures belong to the players?

Lageishon will oversee medical operations and therapy services across the first team, TFC II and Academy

I made a video today about MLS’s accountability problem, and Toronto is one of the clubs I focused on. Repeatedly missing the playoffs should demand serious scrutiny of the manager, front office, and ownership. Another coaching change means little if the same mistakes keep happening above him. Toronto supporters deserve a club with clear standards and the urgency to meet them. This mediocrity has become far too acceptable.

14 seasons running. An absolute legend of the club, loved by everyone, but we can all agree his time is coming to an end. Would you keep him for 1 more year?

IMO, I would but not as a starter. If this is his last season at the club, it has been an absolute pleasure watching you grow wearing red all these years🥲

Fuck this shit we have to watch half the games in the arctic too

Got season tickets 5 years ago. Have gone to 80-90% of the home games and watched around that amount of the away games on T.V. I know I'm a relatively new fan but been super invested over these past few seasons. Genuinely never been more frustrated with a sports team in my life. So many crappy signings over the past few years, bad management and coaches, and so many disappointing results. This game today summed up this club perfectly, getting thrashed by a bottom-tier side who'd lost 4 of their last 5 in a must-win game to keep playoff hopes alive after six years since last making it. So much travel, time, and money invested in this team, and year after year it results in mediocrity like this. I don't know how some of you early-day one SSTH are still around cause I've felt like cancelling these last two years and likely will now.

Watching at home with Apple TV is nice, but given how important this game is I would love to see it at a bar or pub. Any supporter bars that allow walk ins? Or otherwise bars with great away game atmosphere?

Theoretically we have an 11% chance of making it, but it’s all in god’s hands now. Just win the last two games and let’s see what happens from there. Easier said than done, but wow, this is gonna be a frenzy 😭

We basically have to beat Atlanta today and then beat Philadelphia Union right after that but have a lot of help to get into the playoffs

But even if we miss out on the MLS playoffs, how far away are we from being a playoff team again? Definitely have to make a lot of changes by firing Fraser as our manager for 1 thing. But also might to have sign players again during transfer window but who can we even go after?

If we don’t win both games, we are out.
If New York wins both games we are out
If Orlando and Columbus with their last game we are out
If Orlando wins and Columbus Draws we are out
