Anyone Still Think MLSE ever had a business plan for the Argos?

[bannedforlife]

Not being snarky but what has he done so far? Are people just excited at fresh blood?

Seriously?

[ArgoGabe22]

Seriously?

Excuse me for not following the Lions marketing strategies.

For the first time in eight years there were more than 30,000 people in the stands at BC Place. - 34,082 to be exact. According to those within the organization, the only thing keeping the number that small was the fact that the stadium couldn't properly be staffed to accommodate any more. Edit: Blame Pavco they couldn't source more food and staff on three days notice.

If you weren't knowledgeable why did you feel the need to say "what has he done so far?" Unless you were actually being sincere, which in that case, I can direct you to a bunch of interviews, if you'd like. He's done more interviews in his short stint than any Argo management since the beginning of their ownership.

Doman has put in the necessary work. He is a busy man and yet has time and wakes up for those early morning radio shows, I've seen him on a small Youtube channel. He is putting in the work and it seems to be paying dividends, MLSE should be ashamed. Frankly, one has to wonder if they want the Argos to commit Irish suicide.

Must be nice to have an owner that tries.

Yes, it is

Tanenbaum put Toronto, Montreal and B.C. all in the same category and yet the new owners in the latter two markets actually seem to be trying to improve the situation in those markets and appear to be making headway. Meanwhile, Larry just whines. I am so pissed off with him and MLSE right now.

You should be pissed off because what you said was absolutely correct.

I asked the question, what exactly has he done, in order to get more tickets sold? Really not that hard to understand...So interviews. He's done interviews. More tickets sold is a result of a bigger media presence from the owner? Anything else?

Why the little beatch attitude. He's doing the work, MLSE isn't, nuf ced.

Which is what exactly? This could be an interesting case study, as to how to turn around a sports team, I don

Ok, let's start with some little things like fan engagement:

Is there something wrong with trying to post links here, I'm having a helluva time trying to post anything. Most of the lines in my posts are deleted and I have to keep redoing them. Even the mod's posts look cutoff

In these articles and interviews, we see fan engagement and in some of them he talks of plans and ideas for the Lions and when confronted with an issue he answers truthfully usually with a plan of action of what he is going to do about it.

I'd post more but this posting problem is starting to piss me off And this thread is supposed to be about MLSE

Relax man. Gabe asked a simple question. Adding 1000 more posts to prove your point is unnecessary. I agree with your general thinking here, but slight overkill don't you think?

[bannedforlife]

Buddy wanted to know "what has he done so far?", so I told him. Is that enough or do you need some more of what Doman has done? Doesn't say much when a new guy in town unfamiliar with the business can do more than a large sports conglomerate. They should be ashamed.

Again, I agreed with you. Just overkill

It was interesting that The Rock and Gary Stern felt the need to step in and defend their friend Tanenbaum on Twitter yesterday. Good for them in doing so. I wonder if Larry T. has been feeling the heat over the past few days.

The Rock referred to Tanenbaum as being a "visionary". I don't know whether he is one or not but I certainly haven't seen evidence that he is with the Argos. Just because someone is wealthy, it doesn't necessarily follow that they are a visionary and people without money can be visionaries too. I know that Tanenbaum is disappointed about the XFL merger or partnership not working out but those talks fell apart about a year ago. It's time to put it behind you and move forward. The other owners in the league agreed to revenue sharing with MLSE and he should be doing backflips over that.

Amar Doman seems like a visionary to me and I really hope that Tanenbaum/MLSE learn a few things from him and Victor Cui, who I suspect will get that Edmonton franchise moving in the right direction.

Was anyone else reminded of the 1991 Argos' home opener when they watched the Lions game last night? I realize that the 1991 Argos and their ownership didn't have staying power but I suspect that Doman does have actual money as opposed to Bruce McNall.

Mr.Stern does not sound like he has put the topic behind him.It's a rather cryptic comment.

"This season will determine what the CFL and Als are about. If not, by midseason, you'll see me take action , althought I'm not sure what that means."
