Re: Renegades to fold?
The Eugene Melnyk rumours won't go away (which is a good thing IMO) Apparently the city of Ottawa is willing to turn over operations of Frank Clair to any potential new owner. That's the sticking point for Melnyk as he's a smart guy. He'll wait til things are devalued to the point that he can get the stadium and revenues generated from said stadium for a very cheap price. It's what he did with the Senators as he waited til that franchise was on life support.
If there's any guy who can take a mothballed franchise and bring it back to glory it's Melnyk and I bet he even brings back the Rough Riders name to boot!
