Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment dropped a bombshell this morning, announcing a major piece of the puzzle in their acquisition of the Toronto Argonauts. They revealed that current Toronto FC president Bill Manning has also been made president of the Argos, meaning he’ll have two MLSE franchises under his watch from now on.
Manning was hired for TFC in October 2015, leaving Real Salt Lake after eight years as president there. Since his arrival, the Reds have moved forwards in leaps and bounds, signing players like Victor Vazquez and Chris Mavinga to complete the picture for their dominant 2017 season.
