I bet Boris pulls the trigger on this opportunity. I really think that he must be concerned about the chance that a MLS team comes to Atlanta before he is ready to move the Silverbacks up. If that happens, I believe that the men's Backs team will be dead and Boris will be left with a small stadium with no main attraction. If for no other reason than insurance, he should make this move.

I believe that the Silverbacks have already made the move to MLS. It just has not been announced yet. He will have everything ready and you can expect an entry in 2010. No one else will pony up the $150 mil for land,stadium and franchise fees before he does. All of this talk of other organizations providing funds is just that, Talk.

why do you think 2010? one could only hope that this is true because this would be the best for everyone.
Is Jerkunica rich enough to own a MLS franchise? What's the possibility that Jerkunica could join with the other potential owners?

Yes, please explain more...why are you so sure that the Backs are in play for 2010?
