RVAskins Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 I think a sale is inevitable. It will be interesting once the sale is complete hearing about the petty things Snyder did during is rein of terror. Once he is gone, people will be more open and honest and I have no doubt we will hear some wild stories. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the sweeping reductions in concessions, Atlanta Falcons style. Maybe making some fast progress on the stadium. I like the GM idea personally but I think that's more for hardcore NFL fans, i don't think it moves the needle for the casual fan they lost. A new owner just being accessible alone would be a sea change -- explain your vision, etc. Dan never cared to explain because he had all those social phobias.

London Kev Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 I'm having doubts that Ron is the right man for the job, but I wouldn't care if he got a five-year extension just as long as Snyder is gone. I don't really think that the new owner(s) will make immediate changes to the FO, it will probably be too close to the draft and FA to rock the boat.

Color me suspicious, and wondering if a friend is trying to do his pal a solid by trying to push the price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need anything else, not even a whit more even if I hated the coach which I don't. Dan out changes everythiing IMO. But to stay on this point, I listened to Sheehan's podcast where he said he followed up with some people in the know after his podcast interview with the NY Post reporter and those people backed many of the NY reporter points including Dan is unlikely to get the figure in the sale he wants. And the challenge to recapture the fan base overhangs this some. He and Loverro talked about the new owner doing something to indicate changes are on the way so to speak as a gesture to the fans that this team has lost. They think the new owner will spend some money-effort to try to get these fans back. He again doubled down on the declining income from this team being relevant, the team has been losing sales in recent years, its a trend that has gotten worse, not better. He mentioned again the 150 million net in revenues. Some of that old fanbase is never coming back. The name change gave some a reason to sever ties forever. The new owner needs to lure in the young folks or else he won’t succeed. To do that, you need to build a consistent winner. It’s probably going take at least consecutive playoff seasons for fans believe things are different. Then the team has to be a consistent winner. Also, improving the game day experience. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but the new owner likely to have a Gm type overseeing what Ron and his gms do. The owner will be dictating what we do the rest of the offseason. Whatever Ron plans to do now, it’s likely altered once a new owner takes over. After the draft, the permanent Gm will be hired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philly wasn't dealing with fans bolting in droves. It wasn't a rehab job with their fans. This team on the other hand is dead last in the league in attendance among other things. I am not arguing against the value of patiently building a team. I just got my doubts (seems like beat reporters likewise have their doubts) that a new owner will just let it all ride without making some major moves to show things are changing -- and those moves don't have to be personnel related but something.

FootballZombie Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Becoming a winning org is a great way to rope fans back in and rebuild the interest in the franchise. But it does jack all to lure fans back week 1 2023. That is gonna require a different tactic, one with more immediate payoff. New owner has bills to pay, they will want fan reclamation both now and later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) Long term, you build a stadium with a unique fan experience. The game day experience has to be top notch. That will take time to get that new stadium built. Probably 3-4 years after team is sold before new stadium opens. Short term, you need to make the experience better now. Yeah, JunkEx limits that but you have to make whatever short term improvements you can. Edited February 14, 2023 by 88Comrade2000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This feels like it’s just going to be an awkward transitional season, and we’ll need to just deal with it. If that’s the case, I know I’ll be happy to take it in stride.

BrentMeisterGeneral Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 If Harris and the other anonymous bidder are shy of the $6b and are scrambling for investment then that surely raises two things: 1. Any future stadium deal would again be heavily reliant on area investment, and I know I know all stadium deals are and this will be no different but I just feel if you have a bit more financial clout then you probably have a bit more option as to where the new stadium lands. 2. Surely if Bezos wants to make a run, then it wouldn't require too much running? If they're struggling to get to $6b it just strikes me as it's his if he wants it regardless of if Dan likes him or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky21 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I will take a lame duck year from our coaching staff. I’m OK missing out on free agents or resigning our own free agents for a year. The ****ing pig mascot, the terrible game day experience, all the embarrassment with the name of the team, all the prior losing seasons, watching every other NFC East team rise while we continue to flounder…. as long as Snyder is GONE. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
