NEW YORK — Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber told the Inquirer and Daily News on Tuesday that he hopes for “a solution” that would allow the Columbus Crew to stay in that city, instead of moving to Austin, Texas as owner Anthony Precourt has threatened.
“No league, certainly no commissioner, wants to move a club,” Garber said in an interview at the league’s headquarters. “I hope that there is a solution in Columbus that would allow that team to be more economically viable, and to have an owner who has a path forward that has a future that’s more optimistic than the one that he [Precourt] is on now.
