Beric, Offor, Collier, who cares. I know they’re trying their best, but none are good enough, and none are drawing any interest from the Chicago sports fan.

I know Mansueto and Heitz don’t want to go for big name DP signings, but I don’t see how we get more than 15,000 let alone 10,000 people to a single game without one.

The team needs to be rebuilt to make it competitive; this team could also use a big name goal scorer to make it exciting / must see. If I had to choose one player, go all in on Lewandowski to get him to sign.

A big name on its own will unfortunately only help like Schweinsteiger. A blip. So let’s hope they can build a decent team that is ready for the “cherry on top”.

Continuity. Stolen from Brian Sandalow on Twitter:

Through 23 games:

2020 Fire: 5-10-8, 23 points

Georg Heitz got his continuity.
