Not completely though. Breaking MLS-Chicago Fire news: Joe Mansueto, the executive chairman & founder of investment research firm Morningstar, is acquiring a 49% stake in the Chicago Fire from owner Andrew Hauptman. Hauptman will remain chairman/controlling shareholder. More to come in @sbjsbd— Ian Thomas (@byIanThomas) July 11, 2018
I don't care if it's only 49% this is incredible news......he can eventually be bought out!!! What a day!
2017 we were about $240 million it looks like....from 2015 to 2017 it went up about $80 million so could be close $300 million total which is crazy but hey oh well!
Andrew probably will not be heard from anymore and will just collect his SUM checks. I could imagine MLSHQ would be happy with that.
I always thought Christmas in July was a myth. I can't believe it. I mean it only took years of mediocrity, 2 wooden spoons, the lowest attendance in the league, the destruction of the fan base, and the alienation of the two supporters groups. Petition to change the forum tag to "Majority stake acquired yet?"
i like that he is a local guy and he has other business investments in the area. playing nice with your business neighbors can bring in more sponsors and just be better visibly overall.
