Joe Ricketts is still a member of the family trust. The wealth of that trust fund was created by Joe Ricketts. He still has a say over everything that happens.

There are a couple that are single person wealth, that could appeal to Roman more than a group. Consortiums have worked, but they have also died and left the clubs in bad shape.

It is definitely growing. I read that it is now the third most watched sport in the U.S. The team I follow, Atlanta United, averaged 43K people per game last year. After they restructured the schedule that has more matches against teams within driving distance, that number will raise. I attended the opening game against Sporting KC and there were 71K in attendance. That number was surpassed a few weeks later when a more local team, Charlotte FC, came to Atlanta.

The Ricketts are a family trust, I don't think you can exclude any of them. The 2.3B net wealth is attributed to Joe, not Tom. “Tom and his three siblings - Peter, Laura, and Todd - and both of his parents share ownership of the team through their family trust.”

Yeah, Ricketts should be done. There are 77 emails and climbing.

He is a minority owner and he tried to purchase the Sparks, a women's professional team. I have no knowledge of Wyss beyond a few weeks ago.

He involves himself in areas of the team he has no knowledge of and messes it up continuously. He is an owner nobody ever wants.

Given those choses we want Bohley by a long long way. He wants to win. He likes very flashy signings. Woody is the worst American sports owner. His franchise hate him and are the doormat of the league every year.

Maybe injury is too much, listed as not fully fit. The Man City matchday squad at the AMEX Stadium did not feature Raheem Sterling, Kyle Walker or Sergio Aguero and as revealed by the club's official website, the reason for the trio's absences is because they were not fully fit. "Raheem Sterling, Kyle Walker and Sergio Aguero are not fully fit," a statement reads.

City has 4 injured But seems small injuries. I have no doubt we can win this game. It doesn't mean we are the favorites, but winnable.

I can breath a little easier now.

COYB!!

This starting XI can get after it

I am looking forward to this game. It will be interesting to see how aggressive Tuchel has the team set up in a game we really need to win. This game has a lot of pressure. It will show where he is when pressure games hit. I really think he put out the wrong team for the FA Cup, I just hope we don't see the same thing.

COYB!!!

Was not expecting Kepa. A warm up for the cup?

Someone has to have an early peek at the starting XI!

One of my best friends is a Gooner. I love him like a brother anyway. We always have FB avatar bets on these derbys and cups. He has been so discouraged by their play under Arteta that he has not asked for the usual bet. I don't feel like kicking him while he is down either. The Europa Final was fun to watch with him a few years ago. He was a sport and wore a Chelsea logo on FaceBook until the next preseason started.

It seems like the people close to United are saying all reserves. From the link De gea Williams Tuanzebe Bailly Telles Matic VdB Amad Mata Elanga Greenwood

This feels like such a trap game. We need to rotate to have some players fresh for the Cup, but we cannot afford to take our foot of the gas. We need to hit them hard.

I expect to see CHO, Tammy, James, and Ziyech starting this game.

It seems that every team that sends out their B team against Fulham get hurt. I think CHO needs to play and don't understand why he has not been playing? I do think we need to rest Kante, Puli, Azpi, and Silva. We have enough rotation to accommodate that if Kova is back.

COYB!!!
