I’m surprised Jim Little lasted 2 months, to be honest. who would want to work here in the front office anyways. 2017 article:

quote:

O’Leary’s 23-page claim provides a rare glimpse inside the Senators’ front office dynamics, revealing not only dysfunction but also alleged abusive behaviour by Melnyk.
Specifically, the claim alleges Melnyk “at times used profanity and levelled insults at executive team members, including constantly calling into question their competency. Mr. Melnyk sent abusive emails to the executive team and frequently threatened to dismiss them.”

Awwww, he wants to be Donald Trump when he grows up

I keep wondering if Melnyk actually tries to emulate Trump with his way of speaking and behaviour, or if all super-rich people are just like this

e: also asking for a friend, can an owner be “fired” (forced to sell the team) for “conduct inconsistent with the core values of the team and the league”?

gently caress Jacobs, but some of the claims of “committed to paying their staff” need a closer look.

https://theathletic.com/1689857/202...=shared-article

The Sabres for example aren’t paying until games are officially cancelled so people aren’t going to get paid til June or something. Also, they are laying off people at restaurants/bars they own, which sucks, but the worst part is that when they do recover, those people aren’t guaranteed their jobs/pay rate.

I’m sure some of the other claims of generosity have similar fine print that hopefully gets investigated.
