Listen "Bill Manning, MLSE"
Episode Synopsis
MLSE’s Bill Manning talks about his leadership of the Toronto Argonauts & Toronto FC, working alongside Brendan Shanahan [Maple Leafs] and Masai Ujiri [Raptors], growing up with 2 of the Baldwin brothers in Massapequa on Long Island [did you know Alec was actually called Xander as a child?], what culture change Pinball Clemons told him was needed with the Argos [‘too many silos, need more bridges’], sharing memories of Argo greats Condredge Holloway/Terry Greer/Rocket Ismail/Terry Metcalf, how he brought new TFC Head Coach John Herdman over to pursue his ‘bullseye’ career opportunity, an emotional 2017 MLS championship ring ceremony with Tim Leiweke, how Larry Tanenbaum convinced him to bring his family 'up north' to Toronto, and why authenticity is key if anointing a Drake-equivalent level celebrity fan for the Argos or TFC!
