Time for new ownership for the Bonecrushers

The current ownership is an absolute joke, last season, no players and coaches were paid and this season some players and coaches were paid and some weren't. They never marketed the team, which is a reason why they only drew around 200 fans a game this season and the other reason why is because of the situation that happened with Gilbert Brown last season. If this team comes back, there is no doubt there has to be new ownership. There is no way the current owners have the money for another season. There are rumors about ownership groups interested in buying the team and if this is true and one of the groups buys the team, they need to change the team name. With everything that has happened with the Bonecrushers, the team needs a new name. No one in Milwaukee will support the Bonecrushers. I really believe that if there is a good ownership group that buys the team and the team has success on the field that the people of Milwaukee will support a CIFL franchise. Yes, it would be tough to compete with the af2 and the Milwaukee Iron, but as long as the new ownership group is a good and the team has success on the field, then I think the team will get at least some support no matter how the Iron are doing. The Iron got off to a rocky start, but are playing well right now, there attendance may not be the best, but the Iron are playing well now and are tied for 3rd place in the af2's American Conference Midwest Division at 4-6. The Iron may get back to averaging 5,000 fans a game like they did in there first home game if they keep winning. The Bonecrushers were getting good coverage by radio, TV, and newspapers before Gilbert Brown resigned last season. If there would be a new ownership group that would buy the Bonecrushers and change the team name, I think they would get decent coverage and draw fans.
