This is BS. Poles, the advisor this dude hired, and Flus all share an agent.
The whole reason we're in this mess is because the agent most likely gave them a deal and the "advisor" probably got a % for getting "his guys" in.
This is all their fault.
I like Poles and think he can stay. But Flus, and everyone associated to Flus need to be fired. Then anyone related to that agent except Poles needs to be fired. Then any candidates put forward by that agent need to be thrown out.
This was a nepotism staff from top to bottom. Get rid of it. We don't need rich people sitting money back and forth as favors. We need to win games.
I'm convinced that the issue is with ownership. They don't know anything about football, their family doesn't know anything about football, and their kids don't care about football outside of the money it brings in.
When the owners don't care about the business other than the income it generates, and hire people with the express purpose of generating revenue then that's what it does.
The Bears business and marketing are S tier. To the point where they don't need to win, ever. We all still eat this shit up. Until the money starts disappearing, and fans demand championships, nothing will change.
Even when the old lady dies, her kids will just take over, and we've already seen how much they care about the success of the team.
Our only hope is for the old lady to die and her kids to sell the team to someone like Mark Cuban, who actually cares about the team.
