I thought this thread was a sick joke....but no! I have hope again that things will start to get better!!
I have a question. If Joe wants to go after bigger name players and had no problem paying the transfer fee and salary. Can the Asshole veto it because he's the majority owner?
Holy sheepstuff, yes! Cakes isn't gone (and he's still in control), but this is a big step in the right direction.
Andy can say that Joe can pay for all of it. It’s mostly that Andy is still in charge of operations, which I think would mean that he’s in charge of deciding who gets paid. I think that Andy will be fine with money being spent as long as it isn’t his.
My daughter just corrected me to say we really just need to buy 0.2% from Hauptmann and then vote with the good guy. Come on guys - check those sofa cushions!
Joe Manueto has one of the most expensive houses in Chicago, which cost about $22,000,000.00 to build in 2010 (for another $13,000,000 and change, he could have bought the Fire around that time!) It is located on 8 lots in Lincoln Park.

This is great news The only reason Andrew HAUPTMAN would sell 49% is if he realizes the club needs a lot more investment to keep up with MLS going forward
He lives in Lincoln Park, maybe moving the team to the Lincoln Yards site? https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Lin...09239692458f!2m2!1d-87.662578!2d41.917891!3e0 Only .9 miles from his house.
Sterling Bay and Ricketts clearly have a long game. The only question is if that game is cooperative or competitive with the Fire.
What fantastic news!!! Never would have guessed this in my wildest dreams. Could N-Rods days be numbered? I sure hope so!
Maybe they go in it together 50/50, buy out Bridgeview and either move the team into the Lincoln Yards stadium or they look for a downtown stadium. Maybe between both of them they have enough pull to get a downtown stadium.
Hopefully after Joe buys the rest of the team from Andi. #HauptmanOut #NRodOut #JohnUrbanOut and whoever Andi hired..........
We're up here in row one of 209 and we are pleased. Sitting next to the kid in the Sting jersey in row 1.
