To be fair to Owen Sound's management, their GM works in a completely different work environment than Mark Hunter. Being also an owner, provides Mark Hunter with more job security than a competing GM who works under a contract. Those risks he takes will never result in his contract being terminated, so that alone gives him the advantage of knowing a single bad decision won't have an impact on his contract being renewed.
The revenue cushion that London also enjoys provides a significant advantage. When a sell-off is deemed to be necessary, there's little worry that the team's drop in the standings, or a first round playoff exit will adversly affect the team's revenue or attendance.
Prior to the Hunter's acquisition of the Knights, Mark was with the Sarnia Sting, but not in an ownership capacity. He had the mantle of financial accountability and just possibly that may have had a significant influence on his performance there. While with the Sting, his performance was probably adequate, but certainly not spectacular.
