you are aware that niagara told players they had to pack their own lunches on the road last year, would not allow players to stay in hotels and would just drive 8 hours to games and had 2 leaders not exactly leading the way with regards to how to treat other teammates, right? this feels like a parent post?

Or a disgruntled uncle????? Of course it's easy peasy to criticize when your in witness protection or just simply hiding out in your Camaro if you have one.

Selling it to another owner may have them relocate the team

I know he has been cheap in regards to team things like travel, hotels and eating out but I am willing to give him a chance this season.

They have gotten back to some community things. They had the $2 ticket offer with a donation to community care. I'm sure more is coming.

So far this season the team seems a lot better. I don't see them having many blowout losses like last season. The games I have gone they have been fun to watch unlike most games last season.

I can't. IMO, still way too many problem areas for the team to ever be successful.
- No real GM​
- Only 5 scouts​
- Used only one pick in the import draft when they had room for 2 import players​
- Using both an import card and OA card on one player​
- Paying too much for players in trades​
​
Plus the team never communicates with the fans. The owner/GM rarely does media interviews and won't discuss trades or team plans with the media.

But I agree they are better than last season and at least can compete with the other teams. But is this the best we can hope for.

There is question whether or not that he actually has been waived. There seems to be a differing opinion among the London page on what has happened with him. He still appears on their roster. If we claimed him off waivers who would come out of the lineup?

I think the owner is currently suspended, so you won't hear crickets from him.
