Show notes
Local billionaire Dan Gilbert has joined a bid with the Ricketts family (of Chicago Cubs fame) for the storied Chelsea FC.
It's one of the most important teams in the world, not just among soccer fans.
We talk about why this is such a big deal - and Fletcher has thoughts on if he should get it and why.
Then, there's something worrying us as we recap the Memphis 901 FC match, look ahead to the U.S. Open Cup game against Michigan Stars and then this weekend on the road against Atlanta United 2. We also talk about how to solve it.
