You're right there, Chippy has the power now, and that's why I don't see them coming back to LA while he's in control. He'll not move to LA no matter how much economical sense it may make just because he's got those "bad memories". LA lost the Rams because they wouldn't upgrade the Coliseum and Carroll Rosenbloom, not Georgia, moved them to OC. The idiots running the coliseum are a big reason why LA still doesn't have a team. When Carroll "died", Ms. G. and her croonies destroyed what fan base they had left by letting good players go and being cheap. Make no mistake about that, they drove the fans away with a crappy product with no intentions of winning. ...and that does matter, unfortunately, because no matter how badly some of us would love to have the Rams return to LA/OC, it's not gonna happen because I'm not sure LA wants the Frontiere family back, and as he said, he doesn't want to come back. So as long as Chippy is in control, it ain't gonna happen.
The biggest mistake the city of LA/OC, and the NFL made in letting the Rams go was letting the team take the name and colors. The Rams name and colors should have remained in LA/OC, much like they did in Cleveland when the Browns moved and were forced to become the Ravens. It would have worked out well for everyone. That way, the St. Louis fans would still have their Cardinals (formally the Rams) the LA fans would still have the Rams (eventually) and Phoenix would have?????
