After news broke Monday night of a very serious plan by Columbus Crew SC owner Anthony Precourt to move the club to Austin, TX, following the 2018 season, Precourt took a conference call with the media on Tuesday to answer questions about the Black & Gold’s now tenuous situation in MLS.
What followed will not lift hopes for Crew SC fans, as Precourt mostly abstained from providing details of his plans either in Columbus or Austin, speaking in vague phrases and business lingo.
The phrase “strategic alternative” will never be the same for Columbus fans.
