Vultures.
The expression ‘vulture’ has a sort of negative connotation, as the image is usually used in our culture. It’s an accurate metaphor. But those in the position of being ‘vultures’ are usually positive factors in a league, because they are supporting it by following it closely and providing a service by quickly replacing departing owners. That’s what threw me off at first, I had unpleasant general impressions of that bird, and it seemed contradictory to use such a word to describe those who hoved near, ready to resuscitate a flagging franchise.
