I don't believe ASG has, "washed their hands of this team and has said they no longer want to pay for losses."Heck, from one of the other articles, Gearon is mentioning becoming a minority investor.
People saw the smoke when Gearon mentioned selling the team back in Feburary, but it wasn't because Atlanta was burning. It was more like smoke signals, to draw attention to the team. Too many people are wrapped up in believing there's a full on fire-sale.
The Thrashers are staying in Atlanta next year. All bets are off once the Coyotes sale is completed or a ton more "issues" within ASG.
“If we are faced with that as the only alternative, that’s what’s going to happen,” Gearon told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in an exclusive interview Tuesday. “I don’t think there is an ability to stomach another $20 million in losses. We just can’t do it.
“The reality is we need fans showing up and we need investors, or a primary investor.”

Was there any other way to read that?
