Comments on: Steve Cohen OUT of Mets Bidding http://metsmerizedonline.com/2011/05/steve-cohen-out-of-mets-bidding.html Sun, 26 May 2013 05:21:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Donal http://metsmerizedonline.com/2011/05/steve-cohen-out-of-mets-bidding.html#comment-153157 Donal Thu, 12 May 2011 19:50:47 +0000 http://metsmerizedonline.com/?p=50103#comment-153157 Cohen back in, according to CNBC. http://www.cnbc.com/id/42921216

“APPARENTLY, COHEN HAS OFFERED TO BUY A 49 PERCENT STAKE FOR ABOUT 200 MILLION DOLLARS, WHICH IS THE CASH THAT THE WILPONS AND KATZES WERE HOPING TO RAISE, BUT HE DOES WANT SOME BOARD SEATS IN THE METS ORGANIZATION AND HE WANTS SOME SIGNIFICANT SAY OVER HOW THEY DO WHAT THEY DO. HOWEVER, VOTING CONTROL WITHIN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WOULD REMAIN WITH THE WILPONS WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN INSISTENT UPON ALL ALONG, AS WELL AS NOT WANTING TO SELL A MAJORITY STAKE WHICH GIVES YOU SORT OF THE 49 PERCENT NUMBER. ”

Looks like Cohen is just hard balling them right now, realizing he can get better terms from a desperate seller.

Any deal that ends with Loria in possession of a another team to crash is never good.

I know very little about the man but I want someone who wants to win above all else runnig my teams. Like the current Red Sox ownership, these guys came in and made a commitment to winning. Mark Cuban seems to be a fine man and a decent owner that takes good care of his players but he appears to want to be in the limelight more than actually winning. A good owner to me takes care of his players and promotes his franchise but wants to win first! He puts the right people in place and doesn’t worry about a players feathers getting ruffled (a huge problem for he Wilpon’s they seem to be frustrated players sometimes) or doesn’t always listen to the media. Give me Mara (NY Football Giants) type owners and Lou Lamarillo (NJ Devils) type front office.

Earning your money the hard way thru ponzi schemes is awesome. Always good to steal from other rich folks and some retirement plans, what the heck, only the head guy goes to jail. Is that wehre you earned your fifty cents donutz hole?

But a little controversy is good sometimes. Cuban, Steinbrenner……sometimes the most controversial owners are the best ones.

And Apple is not the squeeky clean fantasy factory it markets itself as.

Besides, Bill Gates has those pesky anti-trust issues in his folder.

At first he had it dismissed, but an appeals court reopened the suit back in September.

And its not like he is without controversy.
