Speculation on the new owner centers on his oldest son. Reliable sources in the Omaha press are reporting that Carl Ayers has in the inside track on replacing his father in the club's organization. What type of owner will the junior Ayers be? His managerial style is said to be lenient. Monetarily, Ayers is reported to be charitable.
Omaha currently has the 6th highest budget in the league at $156,000,000, trailing Calgary, Nashville, Las Vegas, Mexico City, and the top budget in the league Sacramento coming in at a monster $172,000,000.
"We're incredibly saddened by the loss of our owner. The entire Ayers family is in our thoughts and prayers. As for our day-to-day operations, nothing is expected to change. We will carry on Jesse's legacy and memory through the playing of the game that he loved the most" said Omaha GM Justin Niles.
