As a TFC supporter, it’s hard to watch a team lose on a regular basis. There are a lot of calls for this so-called “Youth Movement” experiment to end, as TFC is just not meeting the fans’ expectations. As we see more signings and more experienced players enter the lineup, there are going to be fewer opportunities for the kids at the club. As we’re leaving this experiment, there are significant reasons why we’re not seeing a marked improvement in player development.
