TOM’S TOP JOB

General Manager – Manchester Giants

The team did have to be rescued from administation earlier this year, however, there’s a renewed sense of optimism in the BBL (the current franchise owner), basketball is the second most played sport in the UK and Manchester is a big market. Assuming there’s some fresh outside investment (surely inevitable), all the elements exist for someone to lead the Giants into a new era.
