Sakiewicz Joins Philadelphia Group (2/2 Inq)

Bryan, do you ever sleep!?!

"Nick's going to be running the team on a day-to-day basis," co-owner Robert Buccini said, unintentionally lapsing into certainty. "You have to have one person in charge. He'll be the person in charge."

 

We goalkeepers," Sakiewicz said yesterday, "always thought we had the best vision in the game."

Obviously he's a man of class, dignity, good looks, and mental acuity.


...and Bryan will sleep when we have our team.

 

Somebody rep Hugo for this---I am all out Angryhugo



My God, you guys are up early on a Saturday!

"The Sons of Ben never rest"... or sleep for that matter.

Great to see the piece on Nick, a great guy.

Oh, well off to work –see ya in 12

 

Is there perhaps a team branding hint to be gathered from this quote:

 

I like Nick, despite his reputation on these boards. I remember reading a really extensive article about his fight to secure the deal for Red Bull Park when they finally broke ground, and how long it took and all the hoops they had to jump through. But he didn't give up and managed to accomplish that dream when no one else could. Then AEG promptly turned around and sold their stake in the operating rights to Red Bull... Anyways, I looked into the name and, according to the state website is reserved as FC PA Stadium, LLC as of 10/17/07:

I could think of MUCH worse things to be called...but I doubt it'd be the name, we don't want to annoy the Jersey folk.

 

I'm thankfully surprized Nick's detractors haven't hit this thread yet.

 

the tampa bay team he built was very good(on the field)...i am happy he is involved with us and i think he is definitely a push in the direction all of us SoBs wanna be going in

 

I think Mr. Sakiewicz is a great, experienced pickup for the organization and look forward to him running the ship. He is a seasoned veteran with both on and off the field expertise, and could only benefit this budding franchise.

This leaves story neglects to mention his role in the marketing campaign "Metro Playoff Fever". Great hats.

 

Metro Playoff Failure

I hope Nick S. can steer the ship successfully for you guys.

 

I've heard the same, but he did work for Nick at the time.

After Guppy got the Fire job, he was asked point blank whether he regretted MFP and he said no.

 

He's a shit-shoveler. You'll find that out soon enough.

 

But, he's been known to supply free beer to the tail-gaters.

 

That's a fair point. He seemed like a swell enough bloke on Wednesday night. We'll see what happens and hopefully it will be success.

 

Kinda fitting that you'll have an executive in Philly who is being hated by the New York Red Bull crowd, ain't it?
