I think this is the difference between Jerry and the McCaskeys. Jerry wants to do something, Archived Message
Posted by IlliniOllie on February 23, 2024, 16:03:46, in reply to "What’s crazy to me…he’s the team president, not the owner. Why is he deciding this?"
knows how he wants to do it, is going to make brazen demands to get it done, and if anyone doesn't like it, fuck 'em. He'll move the team to the far side of the Moon if it makes him more money. The McCaskeys are utterly inept and small-time. George doesn't want to upset the tailgaters in the parking lots; he's not going to make threats. It feels like they'll just take the easiest solution, whatever it might be. Previous Message Same with Ted Phillips It’s not their money that’s being spent to buy the AH land. It’s not their money being spent to build a new stadium in either AH or downtown. It’s the McCaskey’s. I’m sure you’re correct that Warren and Phillips had their preferences, but if they’re really the ones that are deciding this it makes me think even less of the McCaskeys than I did before, and I didn’t think much of them to begin with. You’re the owners. Make a fucking decision
