But weirdly, I have some hope now. Maybe Franceso... perhaps... has learned some things from his mistakes.

I have grown attached to UWSaint's theory that he doesn't want to sell the franchise as a distressed asset, but thinks he can get a greater return for something a prospective buyer could see as a young team on the rise, heavily stocked with former top 10 draft picks on the verge of breaking out.
