swede700 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 3 minutes ago, Heimdallr said: Chris Wright will become Minnesota United CEO, leaving Timberwolves http://www.startribune.com/chris-wright-will-become-minnesota-united-ceo-leaving-timberwolves/445169593/ Longtime Timberwolves front-office executive Chris Wright will be introduced as the Minnesota United soccer team’s new CEO at a Monday news conference, according to multiple people with knowledge of the matter. Wright has been the Wolves and Lynx president the past 13 years and has spent 26 years with the organization. He was vice president of sales and marketing before becoming president in the teams’ business operations. Raised in England, he has remained an avid soccer fan and once served as general manager for two Major Indoor Soccer League teams — the Pittsburgh Spirit and Minnesota Strikers — in the 1980s. Apparently, he likes franchises that lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, does Wig have a new agent? Or is he going without one for the foreseeable future? He's going to have to pay the guy that negotiated this deal, regardless.

gopherwrestler Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I don't see why he really needs one when he is getting the Max? I mean, I'm sure he did sign one, but what is really the point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gnat Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Twins have been on a roll, granted it was against the Tigers. Now, let's see if the Twins can get one win against the Indians and get ready for the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
