SoCalSkins Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 17 minutes ago, Jumbo said: dan paid 1 billion and the franchise is likely to sell for around 6 billion i wish he had to donate all funds received to local charities...i also hate watching rich slimeballs just get richer but its more than worth it to be done with this pos His biggest coup isn’t the initial purchase, it’s the 1 billion he paid to buyout Fred Smith, Schar and the other minority owner. That was 40% of the team. At a 6 billion dollar sale he will clear close to 2.5 billion on that. He bought them out with loans he got when interest was at a historic low. So some relatively small debt payments to service the interest and he pockets 1.5 billion increase in 18 months. Just stupid luck same with his sale of Snyder communications. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL isn't a free market. 1) The NFL is a club where the majority gets to vote you in. 2) Once you are a legitimate billionaire, the difference between 2 billion and 100 billion is negligible. The owners of the NFL are not pressed. It's a club that Elon nor Jeff can not force their way into. 3) Lastly Elon wants the perception of winning way to much. He can stay were he is. I prefer a quiet owner that has an open wallet and less of a public persona. Edited November 2, 2022 by dc1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsinparadise Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Rapoport just on NFL Network said he talked to someone just now with the team and was told ALL options on the table as for selling. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zim489 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I bet everything is done before 2022 is over. Gives the new owner a chance to clear house of everything dan related before the end of GM/HC hiring season. I doubt the league Ron in a make or break year to makes some really short sighted plans just to be fired within the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sat down with him, explained that they have the votes, the report is damning to him and have a buyer lined up already so they can move forward. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can put it on, NFL Network, wherever you are at, they've returned to the story already a couple of times, am sure they revisit it again soon.

CommanderInTheRye Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) The process: 1. Snyder sells team for record amount which is approved on or before the March league meeting. 2. The new owner meets with and fires Rivera and his entire staff. 3. The new owner hires a President of football operations and leaves him in complete control of the team. 4 . The new team president hires a General Manager and gives him full authority to hire a front office staff and new coach. 5. The new general manager begins interviewing head coach candidates and recieves a call from Sean Payton... .

kwitt Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 If this happens quickly is there any possibility of losing "Commanders" name? I am being serious. The name has NOT been received well. It would have been just one year and my guess is the new owner could make the switch. I know Redskins isn't coming back but I think a LOT of us would be thrilled and even return to the fanbase if we simply go back to Washington Football Team or FC Washington. Probably the only chance I come back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a huge difference between recieving a call from someone interested in the job and choosing that person for the job. Regardless, it would be foolish not to at least take the call. My point is that with competent ownership this franchise can once again become an attractive option for serious well qualified candidates. It's been a long time since we could say that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
