On December 20th, 2019, the Chicago Fire Football Club hired Georg Heitz to serve as the Sporting Director for the club. Since his appointment, the club has a 34-34-56 record and has not qualified for the MLS Cup Playoffs. To the Chicago Fire Supporters, this is unacceptable and it tarnishes the club's identity of 'Tradition, Honor, Passion'. There is no urgency from the Sporting Director to improve the club's roster, nor has there been a plan put in place to turn this franchise into a competitor in MLS.
The supporters of the Chicago Fire Football Club demand the immediate dismissal of Georg Heitz from his role as the Sporting Director. The on-field results are no longer acceptable and will no longer be tolerated.
The signors of this petition call for the immediate dismissal of Georg Heitz. Failure to do so will result in the cancellation/non-renewal of 2024 Season Memberships. We believe if our voices aren't being heard over this issue, our financial disinvestment in the club will do the talking.
Sincerely,
The Supporters of the Chicago Fire Football Club
