I really did not like the way TFC handled Ali Gerba. I felt like he was never given a real chance to prove himself with the team. Or maybe I feel like he never really had a solid chance to prove himself to the fans. It was a shame they way TFC let him go. In fact it is a real shame the way they handle all the players on the team.
Brian Edwards was released the day before the first game. Greg Sutton once a hero in Toronto, just let go like a fart in the wind. I felt Danny Dichio was forced into retirement. Alecko Eskandarian had a player blog on the TFC official website and he was supposed to be the go to guy for the team. He wore the red with pride and was brushed away with no thought at all. Jeff Cunningham struggled to find his way with the team and was forced out. Tébily came to play with us but was forced out with an injury... or was he? Rohan Ricketts was outspoken and forced out of town. Beloved Carl Robinson was shown no respect just the door. The list goes on and on and on. Who knows what the real story is with Jimmy Brennan. It was nice to see this interview yesterday Kristian Jack from "The Score" (footy blog) had with Gerba.
No holds barred. Unfortunately that wont change Ali's situation but it may shake up the front office in Toronto. There is a valuable lesson to be learned here for MLSE. Start treating the players with respect. There is NOT an never ending supply of these guys and its only a matter of time before players around the world realize there time would be spent better with another team.
