Rhinos On Brink Of Bankruptcy

Thing is, there's someone waiting to buy a new franchise for Rochester. The bank is being foolish and/or desperate to overlook this fact.
However, it's a definite black mark for the league, as well as the former flagship club in USL.

The investor won't meet the bank's price. It was a take it or leave it offer and the bank said no. The new franchise will be there in 2009.

Unique ideas lead to prison. Don't name your son after a baseball glove. "Listen dude, do you really want the SEX??"
Ever pay rent and not get 100% concessions? Heck, often time get 0% of concessions?
Thing is, I doubt that the owners put much money into PaeTec. They got the money the state sent them, held back much of what they promised to contribute, and got phase 1 built.
Problem is that people in Rochester apparently fear the location, Rochester stopped buying all the league's best players... and Montreal passed them up on the fan count anyway. If there was a "scam" involved, that's what backfired.

Wow. What a disaster. From toast of the league (and demands of MLS Status) to bankruptcy. Ugh.

(Bump... trying to find the full picture from which my avatar is derived. BTW, I think that shot is 7 years old or somesuch.)
Oh, never mind the bump... Dan Williams says that his interest ends either at the end of this week or next. A local bid comes next (which I doubt involves anything ameliorating the bank), then possibly they end up folding.

My source close to the situation who has been negative for a while and has never trusted Fat Steve says he thinks that a new investor is interested and been talking to all the parties.
Maybe the Rhinos will be back after all? I hope so.

The city has announced their intention to "seize" PaeTec Park.

The current ownership is being squeezed out. However, it sounds like the city is attempting to get some mechanism together to keep the Raging Rhinos in operation. The bank may have something to say about Rhino assets, however. Stay tuned.

Seems the bank has a fellow banker who may be stepping up.
