They can&#039;t agree on all the costs and everything that goes along with it. Alan was going to have the team, but it just kind of fell apart,&quot; Sorcher continued. &quot;There were some things that he wasn&#039;t 100 percent with, and he pulled the plug on it.&quot;&quot; Fri, 7 Aug 2009 13:29:46 +0000 http://www.acesoverbrooklyn.com/2009/08/05/its-offical-new-york-aviators-join-nephl/#IDComment29935836 http://www.acesoverbrooklyn.com/2009/08/05/breaking-news-brooklyn-team-and-coach-announced-in-nephl/#IDComment29727194 It appears that Aviator forced Alan Friedman out so they can run the team themselves. Since the press release mentions a sixth team, does that mean Danbury is in and owned by Mr. Friedman as speculated on other message boards?
