THE STARTING 11: Things Mo Johnston is doing with his free time

"Why won't Barry return my calls?"

To very poorly paraphrase the great Winston Churchill - "Never has one man taken so long, to do so little, for so many". It has been just under a week since Toronto FC's ex-ginger mastermind/employment preservation aficionado Mo Johnston was unceremoniously fired but it already seems like a new era has begun. We had some good times though Mo. Remember the excitement when you became the club's first coach? Good times. Then there was the following five years. Yeah... not so much. For the first time in a good part of a decade Mo isn't fooling an MLS club into paying for his haggis addiction so we have to wonder... what has the wee misDirector been up to?

11. Selling autographed used Field Turf on Craigslist

10. Sent an e-mail to Maurice Edu - asked if he could crash on his couch

9. Waiting patiently by his phone for his invite to join BMO Field's "Wall of Honour"

8. Sitting around the house in nothing but loose boxers that say "MASTER OF THE DRAFT" on them

7. Invited Preki over - badmouthed Canadians for a few hours

6. Writing a long letter of apology to First Wave Agency for "letting them down"

5. Late-night drunk calls to Julius James sobbing "how could ya do that to Papa Mo?"

4. Catching up on five years worth of hate-mail

3. Trying to eliminate Scottish accent from the phrase "Would you like to supersize your combo?"

2. Called Celtic for a job. Called Rangers for a job.

1. Bought a new "5 Year Planner"
