He will get as close a deal to what he already has in mind in likely a couple different scenarios. It's my guess that in the end, the Rams will be in St Louis for the long haul and Rams fans will have a facility they can be proud of with a team that competes year in and year out. It will be nerve racking and there will certainly be many who bang the drum of the Rams moving back to LA or elsewhere. But IMO the Rams have an owner most fans would love to have heading up their team.
I would also say that if the Rams move, you should likely be pointing your pitchforks at the CVC - not the native son who helped bring you the team in the first place.

Actually it does. It's unlikely he would be planning on moving the team back to Los Angeles if he was planning on sending them to London (an 8 hour time difference) every year.
There's no way a team is being moved to London anytime soon either, so I'm not worried. If anything this move says he's more committed in keeping the team in St. Louis, and the extra revenue from expanding the fanbase overseas will help cover stadium upgrade/upkeep costs for keeping the team in St. Louis.

Sorry but the whole "expanding the fan base overseas" is pure BS for a 15-65 team. It's called a non-answer.
Hmmm. For all your optimism about Fisher, you're still thinking in the past. I thought the future was now, not weighted down by the failure of the last 5 seasons.squeaky wheel said:Sorry but the whole "expanding the fan base overseas" is pure BS for a 15-65 team. It's called a non-answer.

I agree, yet we can't allow the past to influence how we react to actions intended to improve the future, before they've even had the chance to succeed or fail.Yamahopper said:Ram Quixote said:Hmmm.

To forget the history will cause it to repeat itself. That's why Fisher and his experience is here to break the cycle of incompetence.

You really can't put the attempt to expand the fan base in the context of previous failures, when marketing, new FO and coaching staff haven't even begun their attempt to reverse the trend.
