    There’s a new man in charge at FC Edmonton.

    On Monday, team owners Tom Fath and Dave Fath announced the hiring of Eric Newendorp as the club’s new president and general manager.

    Newendorp, a 52-year-old native of Moore, Oklahoma, will immediately assume his duties with FC Edmonton.

    “We’re very excited to welcome Eric to the club,” Tom Fath said in a media release.

    “He brings an incredible range of experience in this industry to our organization, and we are confident he will provide the exact kind of leadership we need to get us where we want to be and help the team reach our goals, both on and off the pitch.”

    This appointment sees Newendorp take over as GM from Jeff Paulus, who stepped down as the Eddies’ coach and GM on Sept. 21.

    Paulus parted ways with Edmonton after it finished last place at this summer’s Island Games in Prince Edward Island where the Eddies failed to qualify for the second round, going winless in their seven opening-round matches with six losses.

    The club has yet to hire a new coach to replace Paulus, which presumably will be one of the first orders of business for Newendorp.

    “I am very humbled and honoured to be a part of the FC Edmonton family, and the Edmonton community,” Newendorp said.

    “I recognize that this is a tremendous opportunity, and I am extremely grateful to Tom and Dave for trusting me with this great responsibility. I’m ready to get to work doing whatever it takes to build a club for which our players, coaches, sponsors, Edmontonians, and most importantly our fans and supporters can be proud.”

    Newendorp has over 25 years of experience as an executive in the sports and entertainment business, and has spent time in Major League Soccer, the United Soccer League, and the North American Soccer League.

    He also previously served as GM of Rayo OKC of the NASL, and vice president of sales and analytics for Tulsa Roughnecks (now FC Tulsa) of the USL.

      Cool website!

      My name’s Eric, and I just found your site – postcoach.ca – while surfing the net. You showed up at the top of the search results, so I checked you out. Looks like what you’re doing is pretty cool.

      But if you don’t mind me asking – after someone like me stumbles across postcoach.ca, what usually happens?

      Is your site generating leads for your business?

      I’m guessing some, but I also bet you’d like more… studies show that 7 out 10 who land on a site wind up leaving without a trace.

      Not good.

      Here’s a thought – what if there was an easy way for every visitor to “raise their hand” to get a phone call from you INSTANTLY… the second they hit your site and said, “call me now.”

      You can –

      Talk With Web Visitor is a software widget that’s works on your site, ready to capture any visitor’s Name, Email address and Phone Number. It lets you know IMMEDIATELY – so that you can talk to that lead while they’re literally looking over your site.

      CLICK HERE http://www.talkwithwebvisitors.com to try out a Live Demo with Talk With Web Visitor now to see exactly how it works.

      Time is money when it comes to connecting with leads – the difference between contacting someone within 5 minutes versus 30 minutes later can be huge – like 100 times better!

      That’s why we built out our new SMS Text With Lead feature… because once you’ve captured the visitor’s phone number, you can automatically start a text message (SMS) conversation.

      Think about the possibilities – even if you don’t close a deal then and there, you can follow up with text messages for new offers, content links, even just “how you doing?” notes to build a relationship.

      Wouldn’t that be cool?

      You could be converting up to 100X more leads today!
