Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team

[MTK]

Does anyone really believe he's going to turn his nose up to $6 or $6.5 BILLION even if that offer is from Bezos?

Stop.

This is all posturing.

Also, if Bezos is out, all the other bidders know they won't have to bid as high to get anywhere close to what Bezos would bid.

I don't understand why more people don't understand this. This very forum is full of Chicken Littles grabbing every little headline and going OH MY GOD HE'S NOT GOING TO SELL WE'RE STUCK WITH SNYDER FOREVER OMG.

Completely agree. It seems so unlikely that he's not going to sell at this point. Of course, he will make it a miserable experience for all involved, most particularly us.

HaHa...I haven't actually seen anyone go that far...mostly just discussion and posting links to relevant reporting...same thing this very forum does for all news related to this team.

I think we all understand that it is more than likely posturing, but I also think we all know that Snyder isn't a rational human being, and anything goes with this petty little man.

I believe the sale is moving forward. Most signs are pointing there. The Bezos thing could be true...could be completely false. We'll know soon enough.

I sort of think that they decided to sell when Tanya got booed at one the games or events. Seems like the timing fits. Can you imagine the backlash if after dangling the prospect of a sale Dan then backs out. Mob would burn Fedex to the ground, which lets face it wouldn't be a bad outcome. Still think he is selling though, other things have been put in motion. House sale, move to London etc.

If that's true, we should have booed her ages ago. All joking aside, it just has to get done.

That's just a coincidence. The financial investigation was announced on the morning of Nov 2nd. The team announced later that day that it was hiring Bank of America to explore a sale. It's all tied together.

- he has no cash flow to support his lavish lifestyle

- so he took a $55M loan without his partners' consent, which is against the by-laws

- he committed bank fraud by representing to the bank that he had that consent and secured the $55M loan

- the information alleged that Dan has been inappropriately taking money from the team, a claim to which the minority owners all waived their rights to when they sold their stake. But the other NFL owners won't take kindly to this either. You can make the shield look bad but if you start doing untrustworthy things with money they'll look at you as a risk.

- With the information coming to light, the other owners all know how cash-poor Snyder is, which means they know he has no shot of securing a stadium, which they all want because of the revenue boost and valuation boost it represents for the whole league. Ergo, Snyder becomes even more useless to the other owners when it comes to contributing to the future bottom line of the NFL.

So even if Snyder didn't have to sell because he can't meet his debt payments, the other owners will force him out because he's a liability and useless with respect to growing the business.

Has nothing to do with how Tanya is received, Dan only cares about money. He has none, he's in a billion worth of debt, and he has no prospects to help the NFL advance itself. He's both useless and a problem. He's good as gone.
