TORONTO - It’s been a painful, difficult season for Toronto FC, mired in the MLS basement as it resumes play this weekend after an international break.
With 12 games remaining in the regular season, Toronto (3-13-6) languishes in 27th place — 15 points outside of the playoff picture.
“(The description) I’ve used is we’re in quicksand right now,” said team president Bill Manning. “And every time you get a little bit of something, maybe a branch, and then the branch breaks right as you try to pull yourself out.”
Toronto appeared to have steadied the ship after firing first-year coach Chris Armas on July 4 in the wake of a humiliating 7-1 defeat at D.
