I don't blame Earl or TFC for telling Dero they don't think he's worth the treasure chest that Mo promised him.
I said yesterday that this looked like TFC were out to make Dero look like the bad guy, but I don't know if anyone is the bad guy here.
TFC is sticking to their guns on the contract (which I agree with)
Dero is looking for a better opportunity (which I don't blame him for)
Exactly! Both parties want to protect their best interests. Obviously Toronto FC wants a player of his calibre on the team, but possibly not at the price he's asking. DeRo just wants to play and make more money. Both are completely understandable positions, which is why any witch-hunt mentality is useless.
