"completely focused on the seasons at hand"

That is basically confirmation that he will be leaving after this season.

It's like Rob Ford not commenting on a video he "either has not seen, or doesn't exist".

If he goes, what happens to Bon Jovi?

I'm thinking he's gone in the next year.

Bruce Arthur also said that Leiweke will be gone shortly. It's the beginning of the end, similar to how Burke completely denied reports that he was leaving Anaheim for Toronto. Guess what happened within a year (heck even months) of those reports?

Also, this is a HUGE reason why he's still staying for this year:


He was hired in April 2013.

You could be right but I still think he stays until the 2016 All-Star game.

I just don't like people who rip on him when they should have known full well that he wasn't here for the long-term. Again, he is here the set the foundation, not build it all the way to the top. Yet in his 2 years here, he has accomplished quite a bit. For the Leafs. For the Raptors. For TFC. For the City.

What?!

Like what? He brought Defoe and Bradley to TFC. That is about it.

I would love to know what you think he has done "for the city".

Tim Leiweke denies report he’s leaving MLSE

"Any report stating that I am leaving MLSE is untrue. We are completely focused on the seasons at hand and I am not thinking of anything else but that. I am proud of all that we have accomplished here over the past year, but we have much more to do." said Leiweke, president and CEO of the Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, in a statement Tuesday.

If he leaves, MLSE would be extremely lucky to ever find anyone as good as Tim Leiweke
