Wirtz/Ricketts

Reinsdorf - I would think he has wealth access not as much as above but more than McCaskey

The McCaskeys are a mom and pop operation and they are spending a lot more on the operation then they have in the past.  Dennis Allen is making $5M.  Not certain the stadium is generating the revenue to pay for a minimum of $2B in Debt servicing.  There needs to be other businesses to shift funds around and I am not certain they have this.   

I would think the Wirtz family is a little more cash rich being the liquor magnates  that they are.  No Restaurant or liquor store in our area gets their liquor from anyone but the Wirtz

I would put them and Ricketts in the same category as owners that have the ability to spend with the top markets in  the sport.  If Ricketts cannot he should not have bought.

Reinsdorf at this point should have figured out how to leverage the team but he doesn't care.  It is a passive interest that breaks even.  Nothing more nothing less,  until he is dead we are stuck in this abyss of suck...maybe 2029 will be something but I won't hold my breath.

My guess, and I could be fully incorrect is that Bears need the NFL cashflow to manage their operation and personal livelihood.  An exception to the current NFL model and certainly one where they cannot afford to find $2M in debt servicing.
