-- Excerpt from a letter from Pennsylvania Professional Soccer LLC to Coach Peter Nowak dated June 13, 2012 citing the reasons for the Philadelphia Union's firing of Nowak, who has sued the team in federal court asserting that the Union did not act in good faith when claiming to fire him for cause. He also seeks payment of severance money he says he has not received. (Philly.com)
