[AngelsFaninGA]

1. Ownership group led by Lebron

2. Mark Cuban

3. Faceless private equity firm that cuts even more costs and runs the team like an Arte on steroids

4. Foreign oligarch

What about Joe Tsai?  Clearly has an interest in sports and lives in San Diego

I know there's been a lot of free financial advice on this board to Mr. Moreno on how he should sell the team.   This is a dicey situation, it can be a "be careful what you wish for" scenario.  I also follow the English Premiere League (Tottenham) and what's happened to the Manchester United team since the Glazers bought the team scares me.  While Mr. Moreno may have a shitty baseball organization in place, he isn't afraid to write a significant check for a big name.  I for one don't have the time or energy to protest with y'all at the stadium in the event a cheap owner buys the team.

A-Rod and Marc Lore purchased the Timberwolves at the beginning of last season from a TERRIBLE Moreno’esque owner (I’m a Timberwolves fan yes I know) and the team has been experiencing an unprecedented turnaround.  I have seen firsthand how much leaving bad ownership can do for an organization and I’m excited to see the same for the Angels.

Damn how did you become an Angels and twolves fan?

Obviously I am a glutton for punishment But also I am a huge UCLA fan so when Kevin Love was drafted there I always had one foot in the door for that team other than the Lakers.

I predict it won't be Ballmer or Samueli.

Gonna laugh my ass off IF Carpino puts together a group and the only thing that changes is the name at the top.

IP has a dark side.  When the authorities come asking questions about him in the future, I'm not going to be the guy who says..."I had no idea..." - I'll be the guy saying, "Yeah, I saw it coming."

The Glazers have brought a ton of expensive big names to Man U. They just haven't worked out. Pogba and Ronaldo to name a few. It's the same as the Angels. 

Anyway, the Glazers have been using Man U like an ATM, accruing a lot of debt and taking cash out. It's like the McCourts. Arte never did that. But I am hoping we don't have a worst case scenario here.

Aww... I forgot about the McCourts.  Damn, things could get worse for our beloved Angels.

I am guessing this might already be close to a done deal.  I think as part of the due diligence process for mlb, it can't be a backroom deal and the opportunity needs to be made public.  

So look for it to be an ownership group or individual who has been associated with Arte in the past.  Someone with AZ ties perhaps.  

Also, it wouldn't surprise me if some of the new group is Latino.  I think Arte took great pride as a Latino sports owner and may want that legacy to continue.  

oh and 3b

Our luck.....Frank McCourt

[angelsnationtalk]

Yup.... I want Steve Ballmer to own the Angels if he is interested. 
He's willing to pay, he's built a proper front office and LET'S THEM DO THEIR JOB.

Meanwhile....

@Lou hasn't posted since the news broke, which leads me to believe he's putting together a group to buy the Angels.  That crafty bastard is really going to own this team.

[T.G.]

Also...

@Angelsjunky is about to post an 8,000 page narrative about the pros and cons of Arte selling the team...

Yep the way the press release was written makes me think the same. Not sure about the Latino stuff though. I don’t think Arte gives a shit about that.

Love It!... Ballmer already owns the second best basketball team in LA with the Clippers and now he could also own the second best baseball team in "LA" too
