Snyder keeps Allen around in some misguided Redskins loyalty feeling, but that's not the way you run a business, much less a football team. I can not believe that Allen was key to securing Mike Shanahan. Still don't believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has he done for you? Exactly. I don't get it either. He's been one of the worst "GMs" record wise, and the team looks like it could have zero wins. Everyone needs to go in a total housecleaning.

What has he done for you? It’s bc his dad was George Allen and for some reason Dan believe Bruce will lead us back to those glory years from when Dan was a child and Dan couldn’t be more wrong about that!

Snyder will not get a stadium in DC. At least not through Allen. Snyder will be lucky if he can get ANY of the three (MD, VA, or DC) to allow him to build a new stadium on a new parcel of land with taxpayer dollars. In fact, his best bet, right now, to get a new stadium built? The best bet to get a new stadium built, is for him to demolish FedEx and rebuild right there (*). If he does it with mostly his money, then no one can really stop him from doing it on the land he owns. It's already zoned for the stadium and the land is already there. The only thing he would need to do is find a temporary stadium for a year or two while the stadium gets built. And with the declining attendance, they could look for universities nearby to use their stadiums on Sundays in the interim. He can do all of that without Allen. He doesn't need him to get a stadium. And won't get one with him. (*) Note: I'm not starting the whole stadium location fight again. I'll lock the thread if we get into that discussion again. I'm simply talking about the easiest route he has to get a stadium built since none of the 3 localities are warm to the idea of ponying up large amounts of $ for him. And that route is to use the plot of land he already has and use his own money. No one can stop him if he chose that route and he could get the stadium he wants (just not the locality he wants). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he could do a major development like a stadium without an approved Plan of Development by the municipality even if the zoning allows it. I mean basically he would have the right to tear down Fedex and rebuild the same thing without approval but if he’s going to make changes he’ll have to get a Plan of Development approved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this. VA wants nothing to do with it right now, because of how Richmond has suffered from the training camp facility. There hasn't been a peep from the folks in DC after the original omnibus bill was voted down. Once these two things happened, MD's governor took back the offer on a piece of land near the National Harbor. This team is so bad, no one is interested and Snyder has no negotiating power to speak of. As you said, and I've said it before as well, the best bet is to tear down Fed Ex, and play probably three years at UMD's stadium, which holds almost 52,000 people. And the thing is, with this land, he can set that plan in motion whenever he wants, and finally get the domed stadium he wants to host Super Bowls, National Championships, etc. This franchise has to do a drastic about-face in the next five years for there to be any shot of a stadium that's not on the current grounds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
