MALIGNANT RUMOUR: Jozy Altidore to Toronto FC?
Wheeeeeee! things are picking up nicely now. After this week’s initial rumour of Damien Perquis, half heartedly confirmed as a target by the club, and the appointments of Stuart Neely and Robin Fraser in coaching roles, the week went out with a bang. Thursday saw Emmanuel Adebayor linked, though that seemed very much like a reporter lazily picking names to fill out an article about Adebayor saying he’d be interested in...
MALIGNANT RUMOUR: Toronto FC looking to Add-a-bayor?
While TFC’s lustful gaze in the direction of Jozy Altidore is gaining the most traction on the rumour mill today, their apparent interest in Tottenham’s Togolese international striker Emmanuel Adebayor won’t go away. It really needs to though. For those out there who don’t also support one of Adebayor’s former clubs (or in my case, his current) you may be saying “why wouldn’t TFC want an...
Toronto FC 2015 Schedule Released – Start Booking Those Days Off
A late season road trip to Montreal to end the season, Orlando City FC twice in August and playing Manchester New York City FC three times (only game in TO is pre Fat Frank though – sorry Chelsea City fans/not sorry), this season and kicking it off at home on Mother’s Day – yes the 2015 Toronto FC schedule has finally been released. Well that feels better doesn’t it? It never really feels like the...
MALIGNANT RUMOUR: Robin Fraser to be Toronto FC assistant coach?

There was also rumours of the club going after Damien Perquis, which may or may not happen, and may or may not be a good thing if it does, but hey, rumours are fun. But probably the biggest news was an as yet unconfirmed report of...
Rebuilding Burned Bridges: Toronto FC Bring Back Stuart Neely
Another prodigal son has returned home. In a somewhat surprising move, Toronto FC announced yesterday that former Academy director Stuart Neely was back in the fold. Neely returns to coach the Senior Academy team and assist Jason Bent in coaching TFC’s USL Pro side after leaving the team three years ago. Considering the circumstances under which Neely left – he resigned/was fired/was pushed out to make way for...
MALIGNANT RUMOUR: Damien Perquis to Toronto FC
Finally. After what are traditionally the only 2 quiet weeks in the entire MLS calendar (great time to launch a new website eh? we’re geniuses!) and only a couple of TFC stories to follow, the genuinely happy news of Doneil Henry’s transfer to West Ham, and the bitter but necessary following of just where Jermain Defoe’s going to end up (Come on, Sven in China!), we get the first juicy rumour of someone coming in to...
