Message: [QUOTE="m1c, post: 2362057, member: 1944"] I thought there was a deal with 3 or 4 local businessmen in the area proposed as an alternative? My knowledge on the situation is limited, other than that it's been widely recognised they need some sort of financial injection. His success with the Jets is definitely encouraging. Most of his achievements originated with cut-priced tickets and season membership, looks like he'll take a similar path here. I heard an interview with him the other day where he advocated for 30,000 fans paying $5 a ticket, over 10,000 paying $30. Makes sense. FYI he has an authoritarian reputation in the horse racing game. He is a very 'hands on' owner seemingly lacking people skills. The general consensus is you need to be a bit of a yes man to keep your job with him. A feature of his racing empire has been the perennial underachievement of his horses which many have put to his personal meddling. It certainly isn't the staff, he's regularly turned them over (5 head trainers in ~ 4 years) to the point where his Patinack Farm operation is now better known as Pat n' sack. This hasn't been a problem with the Jets as I've heard him state times over that soccer holds little interest to him. However, he is huge league fan. I wonder if the Knights are aware that should this deal go through they may not only find themselves with financial stability, but also a co-coach. [/QUOTE]
