The Armada have announced that Owner/CEO Mark Frisch will take over daily operations of the club, effective immediately. Of course, this means that (former) club president Steve Livingstone has left the organization, and — this is speculation — it looks like it wasn’t by choice.
Moves like these generally have no outward effect on the clubs they happen in, but the Armada are in a unique situation. There’s been a sense of apathy (especially in marketing; I blame Saturday nights lackluster attendance on poor marketing) coming from the business operations, so things should visibly pick up there.
Mark is a smart man and is probably the best person to have at the helm of his club anyways, so this move will help things tremendously. Just maybe not as visibly as the change to the coaching staff has.
More about this will come out in the next few days, and we’ll update as we hear more.
