Columbus, OH - In light of the ongoing dissention among the Columbus Crew fanbase over the transition to Columbus SC, Haslam Sports Group (HSG) announced the appointment of former Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel to spearhead the Columbus SC transition.

“We need this situation completed successfully,” stated the Haslam Sports Group. “And we expect Johnny to really help out the team here by helping us ensure that the transition of the name is complete without being intercepted.”

Crew fans were reportedly aghast as rumors swirled that the name change was to be completed regardless of their feelings, however HSG hoped that the Manziel acquisition would smooth over the hurt.

“Johnny can hopefully bring some of that Browns magic with him,” stated Dee Haslam. “We hope that we can really bring the Browns Way to Columbus and allow our fans to truly experience what we’ve been building in Cleveland for the past 9 years.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Manziel gets picked off the day he starts the job.
