Backroom & executive staff

[Ameritoon]

Atlanta are probably the most well-run club in MLS if you consider everything. Not so much on the field the last few seasons, but overall feels like a good hire.

 

 

[BottledDog]

[Pixelphish]

You'll do for me bonny lad. 

[Gaztoon]

This guy is absolutely class, the real deal. They are head and shoulders one of the best run organizations in American sports, and without a doubt one of the best in MLS. They've nailed everything with respect with maximizing every opportunity to be the best with their fans, get the right sponsors, reinvest money into the team, and showing ambition. 

 

the Kanji seal of approval is good enough for me.

Exciting as fuck. Recruitment around the club is insane these days like, at all departments.

Amazing what not working for a spiteful, cheap dickhead can do for recruitment.

Absolutely scary as well that it's only Charnley who's been replaced. He was doing the job of all these people we've been bringing in.

Old looking - check

Baldy - check

Grey Suit - check

Boring - check 

Great CV - check

Professional - check

Yeah he was totally underestimated  

[Willow]

Our power grows, strap in lads and lasses

[Kanji]

Hopefully this means our new CEO will be able to help push along various commercial deals and partnerships now future partners have a real and true focal point making the business decisions. 

 

Wonder how the roles of Amanda, Mehrdad and Jamie will be now. 

[et tu brute]

Another big indication that the gobshite clickbait reporters know very little on what is actually going on.

[gbandit]

This seems to be his goodbye post on Twitter, loads of fans singing his praises which must be pretty rare for a CEO

[Fantail Breeze]

Seems like a really good appointment, pleased with that. Moving in the right direction.

 

Feel like this year will be a huge amount of work on and off the pitch.

[Ameritoon]

Thought this was interesting. Waugh apparently had an idea about it but didn't mention it at all

"Darren Eales, who read law at St Edmund’s in the 1990s, and is now President of Atlanta United FC, saw his team defeat Portland Timbers 2-0 last weekend in front of over 73,000 fans in the final of the US Major Soccer League (MSL) Cup - the culmination of the US professional soccer season.   Darren was appointed President of Atlanta United in 2014 before the team even existed - its first game was in 2017.  Darren has helped the owner build the team from scratch to the point where it is now one of the 15 most-followed teams in the world, with average crowds of 54,000 at home games in the 1.5 billion dollar Mercedes-Benz Stadium.  In a recent interview in The Times in October, Darren explained that “we are pioneers here, we’re trying to grow a sport”.  

Darren grew up in the UK and as a teenager played some of his football with the Cambridge United academy.  He moved to the US for his first degree with a soccer scholarship at Brown University where he was feted as Ivy League Player of the Year, NSCAA First-Team All-America, COSIDA Academic All-American of the Year and USA Today Student Athlete of the Year, before graduating with a degree in economics.  He then played professional soccer in the US for the Hampton Roads Mariners and the New York Centaurs before returning to the UK and St Edmund’s to read law and win a football blue in 1998.  Following Cambridge, Darren qualified as a barrister in 2000 and then spent six years practicing law at 2 Temple Gardens Chambers in London.  However, he couldn’t keep away from football and became a Director and Company Secretary at West Bromwich Albion and subsequently Executive Director and Club Secretary at Tottenham Hotspur before moving to Atlanta."

I’m buzzing like.

 

Love the way the new owners have come in and took their time, and whilst it’s obviously too early to call this fella and Ashworth a successful appointment, they’ve gotten extremely credible and highly regarded people in.

 

Even our signings, you can see that we’re happy to invest in people like Botman and Bruno, put money in and get long term success. “Long term, patient investors” Merhdad said the day the takeover, sounds ideal to me like.
