Toronto FC are trying to execute a long-term vision that extends beyond the immediate season. TFC fan patience with this process is understandably low after an extremely disappointing 2021 season and an equally disappointing 2022 season so far. After signing Lorenzo Insigne, Federico Bernardeschi, Domenico Criscito, and Jesus Jimenez, as well as trading for Mark-Anthony Kaye, expectations are that the team’s on field product should be further along in their own process.
Part of this impatience is also likely attributed to TFC fans being concerned that if the club fails to improve quickly and at least make the playoffs this season (which is looking more unlikely with each passing game), Insigne and others may see this project as a waste of time and leave.
