The whole "Yanks went public" was always weird to me anyrate. Still,lets see. Think all this has more legs than the usual 1/2 season ticket offer thing.

Firstly, I don't believe it is the case, but it's deffo a possibility.

But, if he had already looked at the books, that's no reason why the Yanks wouldn't be looking at them.

From their perspective, it's like looking at a house up for sale which you know other people are interested in, but you don't know if an offer's being made. You'd still take a look to see if you like it.

From the board's perspective. If ( big if ) the Jordanian's looked at the books, you don't know if he's going to make a firm offer so you'd happily let other people sniff around.

There's one other possibility though. The Jordanian might be part of the Yanks consortium. Unlikely I grant you, but can't be totally discounted.

So, having got the Chico guide to fence sitting for Christmas, I've covered all the angles here and can always come out looking partly right.

Hi dave, I put an edit onto this post but it seems to have got lost.

Let me be clear I have voted against the takeover, not sitting on any fence. From what I have read I do not trust this consortium they appear to be a bunch of carpet baggers who have no real interest in our club. They are looking to buy cheap, give it a few years and sell on for 500mill thus making a nice little earner for them but that is my opinion each to his own view point.

But really what can the fans do, nothing it seems to me. They cannot stop BK and his ilk from gabbing a very nice gold pot which far exceeds the original share purchase price. I do not like what BK etc have done but I am wary of a bunch of no mark Yanks.

BTW who are the other interested parties you mention, any names?

Really what else can we expect? Therese only one Bill Kenwright, and its possible a lot of people will realise why people were not anti Bill in the future. Lets hope that as they make their money we get a stadium and are more successful.

This guy is known for paying the lowest wages in baseball, he is also known for walking off with 200 million dollars of Padres TV money before he sold the Padres. He did not need to do that, and would have still made an absolutely massive profit if he had not done so, at a time when he was already stinking rich. The development of the new stadium was paid with 75% of public money, which is something that is commonplace in America but almost unheard of in the UK. The 'success' of the Padres is nothing to write home about either, I do not think.

On top of all this, he tried to sell the Padres to a person using leveraged finance, only for the sale to be blocked by an FA-like baseball authority, who decided that the guy that was about to buy the club was too bloody dodgy!

You do know he didn't run off with TV mney at all, the 200m figure that fan of them blogged about was actually the increase in price from when he failed to sell a few years earlier to when he eventually did sell the club - but as a new tv revenue deal by then had come in effect - then the blogger states it as being 200m of the tv revenue - which really illustrates what a utter nob that blogger is.

you think he is a carpet bagger then i presume, maybe try checking out what he has done as far as donations to charity over the years, also put what happened at the padres into proper perspective, pre divorce he was an absolute godsend for them - only after did they turn against him

As far as the success of the padres is concerned - put it into perspective yet again compared to what they had done prior to him ever owning them
