... they couldn't do it to excess anyway as dividends are treated as an expense against profits for FFP purposes IIRC.
I love it when you talk dirty to me.

Just to point something out.
There are less than 150 half season tickets left.
Hardly mega bucks selling them all.
Serenity that's Romelus' next week pocket money in jeopardy manMate leave your fact and reason at the door, please.
John Moores
18 seasons as the owner of the San Diego Padres.
In their five-team regional division, they finished ...
1st- 4 times, 2nd- 1 time, 3rd- 3 times, 4th- 5 times, 5th- 5 times
They made the playoffs four times and made it to the championship once, where they lost to the Yankees.
Under his reign, they were consistently in the lower half of MLB payrolls. Towards the end, they were in the bottom few, even reaching the very bottom in his final year as the owner.
So would this be a consortium style ownership rather than just Moores? Did he own the Padres on his own or with these other guys?
Yea, I agree, but it's not really been the way that the argument's been put forward by many. Quite often I've seen arguments about new owners being worse than the devil we know swatted aside by people who are obsessed with getting shut of the current lot. "Better owners" is always open to debate. Say they invested money into the club which enabled it to grow, but later started taking half of any profits as dividends. Is that better, or worse ?
Personally I'd say it was better, but there's a fair few people who don't like the idea of anyone making money out of our club. It's not a black and white area, in some ways it might be "what is the least worse option".
I'm being a bit pedantic and playing devil's advocate, but there is some truth in it.
On his own.
