Podcast appearances and mentions of mark pannes

The Unnamed Sports Show rolled on in 2021 while navigating the Covid World. Joshua Griffith continued to get amazing guests and great stories for all of the Sports Talk Line audience. From Major League Soccer to NHL, To NFL and everything in between, the Unnamed Sports Show had you covered during a difficult time in sports. It was a blast doing my second year of the show and while some things did make me half to skip some weeks, I was able to do 29 shows with over 30 great guests! Since I couldn't decide what parts I liked enough to get it into one show this will be part 1 of  4 part best of 2021 show featuring little clips and my favorite parts from each guest. Before we get to the clips make sure to give the video a like down at the bottom, subscribe to the Sports Talk Line Youtube Channel if you don't already, and leave me a comment letting me know what your favorite clip was from this year! The first episode of 2021 was with Former Vancouver Whitecaps CEO Mark Pannes. It was the first interview after he was let go by the team and while we stuck to his new company and business we did chat some Caps and NBA. Here was episode 39 with Mark Pannes. Episode 40 was with accidental NFL Insider Katie Camlin as we talked about her breaking the Patrick Mahomes deal and looked ahead to her favorite team the Chiefs and Bucs Superbowl. A name every Canucks fan knows was my guest for episode 41 as I chatted with Clay Imoo for 40 plus minutes about all his parody songs and fandom. For anyone who is wondering how to be a fan, Clay could give you a lesson as he is relentless with his good looks and positivity. He is also incredibly knowledgeable about the team and I found that out with our chat in February. For Episode 42 we switched back to NBA With Luca De Angelis from the Sideline Sports Network. We talked about the Lakers, Jokic, Embiid, and why he didn't think Lamello Ball was going to do anything in his career. PS: He was wrong. Lots of fun chatting basketball with Luca. Brought on the Bossman Steven VanOver for his NFL expertise in episode 43 of the Unnamed Sports Show and we chatted about the Dak Prescott contract, How long Urban Meyer would last with the Jags, Not long. And lots of other NFL news as the offseason is underway. Jay Canada and NBA were the topics of episode 44 as we chatted right after the trade deadline. Winners and losers of the day as we discussed the Toronto Raptors keeping Kyle Lowry,  The Heat didn't get Lowry but made some other nice moves. It was almost an hour of NBA talk and Jay Canada's new Basketball Cinema project and NBA 2K videos. If you wondered where my Jpat intro came from then look no further as Jeff was my next guest in 2021 for episode 45. He wants to cover a winning team and wants to see the Canucks win the Stanley Cup so don't kid yourself if you think the media doesn't want to cover a winning team. Make sure to stay tuned for the next part of the best of The Unnamed Sports Show as we will get the new year started off right with more great interviews! It was such a joy chatting with all my guests and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

Mark Pannes is a highly accomplished US sports executive with an incredible career across the US and Europe, from his early days at the New York Knicks, to leading a large European Football Club (AS Roma) on behalf of a US Owner and learning the inside workings of one of the largest Banks in the world (HSBC Private Bank).  Mark has accumulated a wealth of knowledge and his views are well heard (through his own Podcast/Clubhouse talks) and respected in the industry. With the European Super League “fiasco” just over when we spoke, we off course took a good stab at the topic as well.  As always, lots of learning and great insights throughout the discussion. Enjoy.     Key Highlights How it all started, a High School dream to have a career in professional sports, leads to studying sports at UT in Austin and a summer internship with the New York Knicks First job on the operational side at Madison Square Garden (MSG), 19 different trade groups (Unions) working in the building, etc 10 years with the Knicks -  Patrick Ewing and Pat Reilly days – MSG a vertically integrated company, the venue owns the teams and broadcast network – sales force is media let - Knicks the bait to sell other content at the venue (bundling) Starting to sell Knicks as a stand alone property, non-media related – drove US$ 4 mil of new revenue (total team revenue over US$ 120 mil at the time) Brand driven vs sales driven approach,  digital and CRM starting to kick off Ground breaking deal with American Express, co-branded card for the first time First Entrepreneurial experience – Skilo Brand agency – range of clients and projects   First overseas sting, overseeing acquisition and then managing a Parisian Basketball Club (Tony Parker, French NBA player was part of the investor group) After cleaning up the club in phase 1, spending most of the time on ways to finance the “underfunded” Club and connected with HSBC Next stop HSBC Private Bank, London, banking athletes and IP owners, borrowing against assets IP owners and athletes, asset & wealth management, borrow against revenue.  COI (contractually obligated income) as security Insider look during the global Financial Crisis (2008-09) – HSBC's approach Next Raptor Accelerator, Jim Pallotta, US billionaire Family office – invested in AS Roma – new role as CEO of the club The numbers in the AS Roma deal – total US$ 160 million investment (according to reports) Learnings from his AS Roma days, running a Listed company, every club is a “selling club” – ability to sell players is important New Stadium plans, great project, big plans, the process to get it started (unfortunately till today it hasn't come to fruition) (Roman politics or what happened?)

Mike and Jason celebrate their return to the airwaves by running through a busy weekend in sports, also sharing thoughts on the Whitecaps parting ways with Mark Pannes and on the NHL's recent positive COVID tests

TSN's Luke Wileman says he was shocked, surprised by the Mark Pannes dismissal, suggesting the club was finally taking positive steps. Luke says its "an immense challenge" for Axel Schuster to do both jobs. Luke also gets into the MLS return in Orlando, Covid concerns, and talks Premiership return too

The latest AFTN Soccer Show is out and it's another packed episode. The big four-oh-oh baby. It's never a quiet week in Vancouver Whitecapsland it seems, and this past one was no exception with the shock departure of CEO Mark Pannes. We pick over the bones of it all, discuss the less than adequate press conference to try and explain the decision, look at the supporters' ire, and ponder what the fallout might be from it all. Getting back to on the pitch matters, our feature interview this week is with 'Caps head coach Marc Dos Santos. We look ahead to the Orlando tournament, how prepared the team is for it, talk about the importance of cup football, and a lot more. All this plus all your old favourites for our quadricentennial episode as we find out if former Whitecap and current Colorado Springs Switchback head coach Alan Koch fancies a chocolate digestive, what FC Edmonton boss Jeff Paulus' favourite jam is, kick off our new episodic drama serial Wanted For Wembley, and Booze & Glory return to this week's Wavelength. Here's the rundown for the main segments from the episode:04.01: Mark Pannes out as Whitecaps CEO45.24: Anyone Fancy A Chocolate Digestive? - Alan Koch47.45: Marc Dos Santos interview94.48: Wavelength - Booze and Glory - Not On Our Way To Wembley99.54: MLS Orlando tournament discussion116.10: Jeff Paulus' Favourite Jame117.54: Around the World with Joe Corona123.17: Wanted For Wembley - part one of our new episodic drama serial

Mark Pannes is out as Vancouver Whitecaps CEO after just six months, and sporting director Axel Schuster has stepped up to absorb Pannes' old job. Sam and Paul take a long look at the situation, and then at wider trends in MLS front officesIn the second half, Sam and Paul examine why more MLS teams don't play the kids and to what extent it's wise to do so, as well as offering some informed speculation about what the approach will be for the Orlando tournament in JulySPONSORS!Go to Fubo.tv/TSS and get a 7-day free trial of fuboTVUse code SOCCER at SundayScaries.com for 25% offUse code TSS20 at Manscaped.com for 20% off plus free shipping

Welcome back to another episode of the Third Sub! In this special episode, Alex and Sam are back, this time joined by Harjeet Johal, A.K.A Har Journalist, a local Vancouver journalist who covers the Whitecaps, the Canada Women's national team and more, with bylines in ProSoccerUSA, The Equalizer, Daily Hive and more! To kick things off, they take a look at the departure of CEO Mark Pannes from the Vancouver Whitecaps, and the shockwaves that move has sent throughout the club. Har shares what she's heard from the inside, with this move blindsiding many, both inside and outside of the team. After years of frustration, this appears to have been the straw that broke many people's backs, and we take a look at why that is the case. Can the 'Caps come back from this? Is it time to sell? Is that even possible? Can new dual CEO and Sporting Director, Axel Schuster, handle the responsibility of his new job? They look at these questions, and many more, in the first part of the show. After, talk shifts to MLS, where the plans for the 'Return to Play' tournament continues to ramp up down in Orlando, with the official draw for the competition having been completed last week. They take a look at the draw itself, and why it's ridiculous to call it "a random draw", before voicing their concerns with the safety of players considering Florida's handling of COVID-19 recently. Lastly, the talk shifts over to Canada's Women's National Team, who made a big move last week by parting ways with head coach Kenneth Heiner-Moller, coach of over 2 years now. Har shares her thoughts on the move, and what she is looking for from a next head coach, who will have a busy next couple of years of preparation, with the 2021 Olympics and 2023 World Cup coming up. As Canada's quest for their first major trophy continues, whoever is hired will have to find a way to push this team over a hump that they've never quite been able to get over. As is customary, the episode rounds off with Alex's and Sam's 'Around the World' segment, where they catch up on all things global soccer, including the Bundesliga, the Premier League and the K-League.

In this hour, Whitecaps PxP man Pete Schaad gives his thoughts on the Mark Pannes dismissal, and The Athletic Vancouver & Elite Prospects' JD Burke joins the show talking all things Canucks.

TSN soccer analyst Kristian Jack says it was a shock when the Whitecaps decided to let go of Mark Pannes & name Axel Schuster as CEO & Sporting Director. Kristian also says Schuster’s role of improving the product on the field will be compromised with now doing two roles.

Whitecaps FC sporting director and now CEO Axel Schuster says that during Mark Pannes' short time with the club, he did a great job of setting a lot of things, including the standard, and that the club will continue to adhere to those standards. Schuster also stated that the club will continue to use the same tactics and culture moving forward.

No football. No problem. The latest AFTN Soccer Show is out and it's another packed episode. We bring you the latest news from North America and around the world as football's shutdown continues, looking at what leagues are calling it a day for this season, which ones are hoping for a return sooner rather than later, and what broadcast innovations MLS might be looking at for when it returns. Our feature interview this week is with former Whitecap, and current Pacific FC player Marcel De Jong, who joins us to talk about the newly formed Players Union for Canadian players - why it was badly needed, what it might mean for both the players and the league, what they're looking for right now and in the future, and more. We also look at Vancouver Whitecaps highly successful fundraising facemask initiative to raise money for the threatened Vancouver Aquarium, hearing from Whitecaps CEO Mark Pannes and Oceanwise CEO Lasse Gustavsson on how it all came about and why it's needed so much.

We chat with Vancouver Whitecaps CEO Mark Pannes to discuss how the Whitecaps and MLS have been handling the latest crisis, we check in with Whitecaps striker Lucas Cavallini to see how his family are dealing with everything right now and talk about the season so far, and we get on a conference call with former fan favourite Kendall Waston to see how life is treating him down in Cincinnati. This break could actually prove to be very beneficial to the Whitecaps as it lets them get all their players fit, healthy, and up to speed.

Vancouver Whitecaps got their first win of the new MLS in LA on Saturday night and we're going to celebrate the unexpected three points in fine fashion in this episode of the show. We look back at the highs and lows, and the hits and the misses, from the game and hear from both head coaches. Who played themselves into further starts? Whose performances have been somewhat lacking? And does MDS now have a (nice) selection problem ahead as a result? We also have two interviews this week, first of all sitting down with Whitecaps' right back Jake Nerwinski, then we chat with Whitecaps CEO Mark Pannes about how he is settling in to the job and his relationship with the fans, both online and in person, and plans for the future.

The 2020 MLS season certainly didn't start the way Vancouver Whitecaps wanted. A 3-1 loss to Sporting Kansas City, an insipid performance, and a lot of work still to be done. If you're thinking wait a minute, this isn't 2019, let's hope you're right. We pick over the bones of that opening day loss and try and see what few positives you can take from it. Plus we hear from both head coaches, Vancouver's Marc Dos Santos and KC's Peter Vermes. We also bring you three interviews this episode. We hear from Whitecaps CEO Mark Pannes on the subject of ticket sales and chat about some of the off-pitch changes this season.

Our MLS Week in Review also looks at the MLS teams in CCL action this past week and catch up with Sporting Kansas City's Scottish forward Johnny Russell to look ahead to the season and find out what his favourite jam is.

Christmas already feels like an age away, although the snowy weather outside may beg to differ. The Whitecaps still seem to be thawing our their frosty wallets as new signing have not yet been forthcoming, but there have been some exciting additions for us to chat about this week, both on and off the pitch. There's a new CEO running the show. We hear a little bit from Mark Pannes and chat about the impact he, and we, hope that he'll have on the 'Caps. We also sit down for a chat with the Whitecaps' latest Canadian, first round draft pick Ryan Raposo about his footballing journey so far and heading to Vancouver, and look at how worried we should be that there haven't been any other additions yet this year with preseason camp kicking off in a matter of days. We also speculate as to whether Vancouver is back in the mix to host World Cup matches in 2026, continue our month of FA Cup themed tunes in Wavelength with one from former the Tottenham Hotspur 1981 FA Cup Final Squad and German band Gurr continue their residency as our artists of the month.
