    Try saying : "I wasn't involved in that project"
    Instead of: "That's not my f**king problem!"
    Try saying: "She's an aggressive go getter."
    Instead of: "She's a ball busting bitch!"

    What!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????

    "But he has no immediate plans to change Chicago Fire management or the team roster, nor does he envision building a new soccer-only stadium in the city."
    https://news.wttw.com/2019/09/19/will-new-owner-joe-mansueto-light-chicago-fire-we-ask-him

    If by "no immediate plans to change Chicago Fire management," I hope by "immediate" they mean prior to the end of the season.
    Rodriguez and Paunovic must be gone to have any hope of rebuilding.

    The soccer-only stadium is a long term project.

    Mansueto wants President and General Manager Nelson Rodriguez and coach Veljko Paunovic back next year and wants to “arm them with talent,” though he’ll decide after analyzing everything at season’s end. As all sports fans know, winning isn’t about the coach, but the players on the field.

    Well, losing is frequently about the coach.

    I guess I'm kind of circumspect about it now. It's his team and he can do whatever he wants with the name and branding, but I don't have to buy or wear any of it. Stocking up on old logo gear now!

    If the Mansueto Fire win a trophy I'll get a tattoo of that ugly thing. It'll have to be somewhere hidden so the kings to give me a beating for being a poser...

    Is that the best money and time can come up with?

    No. But because it was done by a rookie in a vacuum with Nelson Rodriguez advising, it reflects its origins.

    I meant Joe. He’s just new, that’s all. Rookie was probably the wrong word.

    "Nelson staying" is awful. "For Now" is worse.

    To not have a decisive, clear, publicly communicated vision for the team going forward at a moment you're trying to sell season tickets and a comprehensive visual rebranding to your audience....honest to god, are we on "Punk'd"? Indescribable incompetence. The words to not exist.

    They paid SIXTY MILLION DOLLARS to faceplant like this.

    I'm just going to hold out hope that Joe learns from his mistakes and grows from them and with us.
