RailHawks founder Economides departs
According to RailHawks owner Brian Wellman, "the ownership group of Triangle Professional Sports, LLC has purchased the remainder of Chris Economides' ownership stake and Chris will no longer serve as President and GM of the RailHawks."
Economides, who is a member of the USL Hall of Fame, founded the club in 2006 when he and several other business partners purchased a USL-1 expansion franchise and located the team here in Cary. Prior to founding the Carolina RailHawks, Chris Economides was instrumental in forming the Rochester Raging Rhinos who won the USL league championship 3 times and the US Open Cup once under his leadership.
Wellman went on to tell TSF, "because of Chris Economides, the RailHawks exist and his 3 years of devoted work have positioned the RailHawks for continued success on and off of the field moving forward. The RailHawks will miss Chris and his dedicated work ethic and wish him continued success."
When asked how Economides' departure would effect other aspects of the club's vision, such as the partnership it had recently sought with Burnley FC of the English Championship league, Wellman said, "The RailHawks will be making another major announcement soon as to its newest business partner, we are excited about our direction and beyond our latest domestic partner we will now aggressively pursue partnering with a major European club."

How do you think this will affect the business? Are the remaining
owners locals or should we worry about the team moving?
