naptownskinsfan Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 “Explore” a sale is a whole lot different than actually doing it. I remain unconvinced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't go this far without having already laid the groundwork. The Lerners did the same thing but everybody knew what it meant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major corporations don't go public with something like this unless its legit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e16bball Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I don’t want to be an annoying “not so fast, we don’t know exactly what this means” lawyer type, but… Not so fast, we don’t know exactly what this means. The statement says “potential transactions.” That’s painfully vague. I would agree that the most likely explanation is that it’s typical mealy-mouthed Snyder BS, and he just doesn’t want to come out and say he’s selling the team because it makes him look weak and like he got forced out. But I think they are definitely trying to leave open the door for some sort of heroic minority owner candidate to swoop in and save them. He needs cash and he needs to get a stadium, and that’s not happening on his own at this point. But I will pretty much guarantee that he’s out there beating the bushes for wealthy folks with a strong public image who might be willing to join with him (and become the public face of the team) to get things moving in the right direction again. I doubt that anyone like that exists, so I’m celebrating like everyone else. But guardedly. This guy is a weasel and a snake oil salesman, and I’ve worked with enough weasels and snake oil salesmen to know that when they specifically choose to use intentionally vague terms, they’re doing it so they can later justify going back on what they *seemed* to be saying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not buying that. Snyder has no interest in paying for a stadium, even if it was partially financed by an incoming minority owner. Even with new money coming in as the majority owner he would be expected to pay a significant portion of the stadium cost, which I don't believe he is ever willing to do. He wants a free handout from the taxpayers to pay for his stadium, which has been his whole intention the entire time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slappy Mc Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I have literally waited more than half my life to hear the news that Snyder would sell the team. I am honestly speechless.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHatesnyder Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I’m so happy right now, who are the options as a potential new owner ?: Bezos? peyton manning ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavar703 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 My guess is they found something really bad and this was the compromise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
