Interesting.
Several Points.
1. This finally proves that the ownership did not care. As stated in the OP, and restated here because of its significance.
2. I don't see it said anywhere that the Thrashers had garnered no interest in potential ownership. In fact, it is stated in the article that they had interest, but could not sell due to the court case. The timing of the article coinciding with the end of the court case means that one way or another, Atlanta Spirit is going to sell soon.
3. To the doomsayers, Atlanta Spirit could not sell because of the court case. Hence why this is coming out now with that resolved.
4. I feel for you Thrashers fans. You guys are just now getting an actual hockey team that you can be proud of, one that can actually compete in the market, and then this shtick happens. Any ideas on who may be locally interested?
Also of note, but it is interesting that a much more competent owner (IIRC, please correct me if I am wrong) was shunted aside for these clowns at the last minute in 2003.
