Interesting recent article on him.

The challenges facing U.S. owners of Premier League clubs: ‘You cannot bastardise the beautiful game’

A leading executive at Bournemouth on the complex challenges that come with being a U.S. custodian of an English top-flight club

www.nytimes.com

Some paralleled relevance

“Bill’s gone on record as saying he doesn’t think regular games should be played in the States, and I support his position wholeheartedly,” he says. “As a guy who now lives in Bournemouth, I don’t like that idea. I like the fact the games are played in the UK — that’s where they’re meant to be played. You don’t need Bournemouth to play Brentford in MetLife Stadium (in New Jersey, just outside New York City) for our brand to grow.

“I understand the logic (of the idea’s proponents) but I worked at the NFL for many years and even with the NFL playing a game or two (each season) in Germany, Mexico or Wembley (in London), I don’t know that it has been super-meaningful. I don’t walk around Poole (a town near Bournemouth) and see lots of Miami Dolphins jerseys. They were one of the first teams to come over. I don’t see a lot of Jacksonville Jaguars stuff around London, even though Shahid Khan and Fulham are part of the same ownership group. It would be a miss if we did (Premier League games abroad). I’d be really sad.”

It’s a tough gig because they have the lowest income in the premier league.

“We’re not a sovereign wealth fund,” he says. “We’re not international owners who have airlines that are going to swoop in and drop a lot of money on the teams. We’ve got to do it carefully, strategically, and be sustainable as a football club.”

Frevola worked on Foley’s 2017 launch of the Golden Knights — starting an ice-hockey team in a town surrounded by sun-scorched desert was a pretty out-there idea itself — and he insists there are parallels.

This quote jumped out to me lol.

“We know how to promote Bournemouth as a destination city because we know how to promote Vegas,” he explains. “We’ve got shared resources with the Golden Knights. We have a commercial team that introduce us to big U.S. brands. One of our partners in the U.S. is City National Bank, who have naming rights to the Golden Knights’ training facility. They’re a big new partner of Bournemouth for all of our U.S.-focused initiatives. Our head of marketing in Bournemouth and our head of marketing in Vegas do a weekly call.”

Good luck finding someone more qualified than this:

Every stop he’s been a winner. Launched a franchise. Worked in several different sports. And he’s a Cane.

Jim is an awesome guy and treats employees well. Would love for him to get the job if he’s interested. I know he loves his current job, so could be a tough pull unless it’s truly his dream job.

 

[Gocanes1990]

Agreed. F yorkmark

Are we going to have our AD before our CB coach?
