I ranted above about how the Armada are actually really successful in ways that matter, and it's those reasons that you would want them.

The on-field performance is the least important part of creating a sustainable, successful club. (see: Cosmos, San Antonio Scorpions.) Sure you can say they are special cases because the owners were either misguided or idiots, but that's the point!

Sports franchises are businesses. That's it. It's notoriously hard to be successful (if profit is the sign of success) in sports because they run on near non-existent margins, require management of a large pool of employees from different backgrounds with diverse skill sets, and oh yeah, they must ALL be great at what they do because each need in a club is filled most times by just one employee who must get it all done. Accountants, branding, advertising, concessions, logistics, Counsel, HR, scouting, player development, and security just to name a few. Sporting teams are very similar to a manufacturing business, and as such are the most difficult business to be truly successful in.

Think of some successful sports franchise owners (Kraft, Blank, Lurie) and you'll find many of the best owners are from some kind of manufacturing background or ran business that required crazy infrastructure and tons of logistics.

Since taking over the reigns of his family's decades old seafood processing and distribution company Mark Frisch has grown it like crazy and is turning them into a regional force in their industry. There's a reason he was chosen as chairman for the NASL's BOG even as a new sports owner, and it had nothing to do with how many points the Armada had on the field.

I hope I don't eat my words but I'm pretty sure the Armada, from a leadership standpoint, at the top of the heap. Frisch is learning some things the hard way as a first time sports franchise owner, but the guy is smart. As long as he is dedicated to the idea of owning a team, the Armada should be successful.
