This would be worse. A winning team would bring more revenue, and that would be appealing to new buyers. 
Nevin is a horrible manager, who has done nothing to deserve a permanent role.

He had them one game under in 55 games. They're losing a lot of close games, defense is terrible. Pitching decisions are even more suspect than under JM.

And I disagree. Scioscia would have this team, as is, at or near .500. Maddon probably would too.

He's 25-45. Players are slumping. Results matter.

They have a solid foundation with Ohtani, Sandoval, Detmers and Suarez. But they need two more reliable arms, preferably 2/3 types (given that they can’t score runs). 
They also need a first baseman, shortstop, left fielder, possibly right fielder, and a whole bullpen. Lots of work to do this off-season.

I still think Scioscia is a good fit on a three year deal. He's proven.

The Real Estate is more valuable to Disney, among others, and while we can hope for a new stadium on the corner being built during the season, I doubt it comes to fruition, without 1 of 2 things.
1) a big money owner, like Ballmer.
2) a partnership with Disney to develop the land.

It will likely be an ownership group, and one name to watch is Theo Epstein. He's been rumored to want a Stan Kasten type deal, and though many fault Moreno for the many issues he has, it's not that he's a bad owner, he's a bad baseball guy and hasn't understood team organization and baseball decisions. Scioscia was the baseball guy in the clubhouse for 19 years, 15 under Moreno. While there were GM problems and bad decisions, not having a baseball mind in charge of the organization is the real problem, and its been exposed under the DiPoto and Eppler GM.
Stoneman also was a huge guiding influence on Moreno's early years.
But, if Epstein is interested, you have to talk to him if you're a big money guy, like Ballmer or Cuban, or others.
From wikipedia....Stan Kasten
Stan Kasten (born February 1, 1952, in Lakewood Township, New Jersey) is the former president of the Atlanta Braves and the Washington Nationals, and the current president and part-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Long involved in Atlanta professional sports, he also served as general manager of the NBA's Atlanta Hawks and president of the NHL's Atlanta Thrashers.
A native of New Jersey, Mr. Kasten became the youngest NBA general manager in 1979 when he joined the Atlanta Hawks at age 27. In 1986 he took over as president of both the Hawks and Ted Turner 's other franchise, the Atlanta Braves, where he stayed until 2003. He landed in Washington in 2006 as president of the Nationals franchise, stepping down after the 2010 season.[25]
He has won two NBA Executive of the Year awards, three NBA division titles, and, with the Braves, 12 baseball division titles, five National League pennants and one World Series Championship.[25]
 
This is what the Angels need. And Epstein is perfect for the job. He knows what an organization needs to be successful. Perry can stay as GM, Epstein president. He can hire scouts and improve the farm, and build a new ballpark, and Perry can handle the day to day with someone like Epstein to guide him.
I heard this on 710, from John Ireland, who said this is something Epstein has been after and if that's true, then it needs to happen.
 
 

Right, with either it would have to be a group.

They won't leave Los Angeles Metro.
Leaving the 2nd largest market in sports even as the second team, will not happen in today's world.
But Long Beach, Carson, etc. all options.

Elon is not interested in owning a baseball team. If he was he would've bought one.
More than likely it will be a partner situation, like with the Dodgers.

I don't think Samueli has the liquid assets. He's the sentimental OC choice, but the Angels would represent possibly 40% of his net worth.

Forbes has them worth 2.2 Billion, quite an uptick from the 184 million Disney sold them to Moreno for.

This is actually a really good idea. He has the money and the drive.
