    Is Lerner looking to sell Villa?

    Yes, been trying to sell for about a year now. Word is that he has a deal lined up for the summer.

    I have been expecting him to buy into the MLS after he sold the Browns....but no word on that yet. Maybe once he sells Aston Villa he will look seriously in that direction. Hopefully, as the MLS has expansion plans that don't really include Cleveland.

    The MLS expanded by 2 teams this year: another NYC team and Orlando. Also, future expansion will take place in Atlanta in 2017, another LA team in 2018, and Minnesota in 2018. Also under consideration are to put teams in Miami, Las Vegas, Sacramento, San Antonio/Austin, and St. Louis.

    Cleveland had been talked about but that was about a decade ago, and the guy that was to be the owner, Bert Wolstein, died. So maybe Lerner can step into the breach here.

    Arthur Blank, owner of the Atlanta Falcons is the proposed owner of the ATL MLS team.

    A group headed by David Beckham is the proposed owner for a Miami team.

    A guy name Peter Gruber is heading up the new LA team proposed ownership group.

    A guy named Bill McGuire will be the Minnesota team owner.

    The owner of the Sacramento Kings, Vivek Ranadive is proposed owner of a Sacramento team.

    A guy name Gordon Hartman is the proposed owner of a SA/Austin team.

    And I understand that Cavs owner Dan Gilbert has some interest in bringing an MLS team to the Detroit area and playing in the old Pontiac Silverdome.

    Me too,

    but I would rather see Cleveland get an NHL team, and move the Cavs somewhere else

    How about just all of them NBA/NFL/MLB/NHL/MLS?

    And you know, there is another guy that could become the owner of a future Cleveland MLS team.....a current minority owner of a Premier League team: (Liverpool I believe)

    LeBron James. He and his group I suspect could be welcomed by the MLS. He might want to put the team in Akron if that happens....and I know a perfect place for them to build a stadium.....if anyone is interested. The former Rolling Acres Mall site. Plenty of acreage for development.

    I would NEVER support moving the cavs in favor of the boring ass niche NHL

    This shit ain't nothing to me, man.

    Perhaps LeBron could bring an MLS team to another venue....in Akron:

    http://www.wakr.net/news/item/158763-new-life-for-akron-rubber-bowl

    A renovated Rubber Bowl. But these guys are talking about a dome which would likely mean artificial turf and indoors. Not sure if that is what MLS wants.

    For those of you in the know....are any MLS teams playing in a dome, or on turf?

    Woody the queer liberal represents what is wrong in the US. Wishing baseballs death while squawking about his love for grass fairies.
