Sorry guys this is a repost as admin made me re do it
Hope this is right admin
There’s three ways to do things, son. The right way, the wrong way, and the Alex Meruelo way.
What’s the Alex Meruelo way?
The wrong way but slower!
*Puts on tinfoil hat*
Meruelo had no intention of bringing back the Coyotes and was counting on this to unofficially sail away with a cool 1 billion in his pocket.
And a fringe few were saying Bettman should’ve waited until the June auction result before deciding the fate of the Arizona Coyotes.
« The return of hockey to the desert » lol
Crazy to me that Arizona is the party that says no here. Honestly not sure what their angle is.
New chapter, same story
Meruelo can blame Arizona all he wants but my understanding of this is even though he originally didn’t need a special use permit to bid on the land, he would have needed the special use permit before he would be able to do anything on the land if he won the bid.
If Meruelo had any sense as a business man and if he was ever genuine about starting work on the arena the second he won the auction he would have already had a special use permit application that would be pending final approval after the final sale. (Arizona saying he’ll need the special use permit first leads me to believe that in Arizona he could have gotten the special use permit before the sale was finalized)
Arizona knowing he doesn’t have a special use permit changed the rules on him but they can only do it because he hasn’t bothered with a special use permit.
It’s always someone else’s fault
Who are the Arizona Coyotes?
Arizona doesn’t like Meruelo and wants nothing to do with him.

We cross live to Alex now.
As long as I got my billion dollar nhl payout and my gold house. I don’t need anything else
Play stupid games for years and win stupid prizes like this one! Brutal and sucks but that’s how it goes.
Can we talk about how Arizona is forgoing millions , potentially billions , or $2b on the nose for schools ?
Pick a number , or even a rage. That sounds ridiculous.
Enjoy your billion, cause NHl franchise owners you will never be again
what does education have to do with this?!?!(
Utah Coyotes it is
For a guy whose second business was real estate development, something like this shouldn’t even be a thought for him. This should’ve been a formality.
He is either a scammer who isn’t as wealthy as he says he is (until the NHL handed him $1B) or never had any intention of going through with it. Either way it was never happening.
Getting the government to pay for your 1.5 billion dollar stadium while claiming it prohibits the public from seeing a 1 billion dollar return for K-12 education…Classic America, never change my dudes.
I hope this just chases Meruelo away and Arizona can get some competent ownership. (not that they wont do the same thing, just sneakier)
Also Edmonton paid its share of our own new stadium….Cant get away from it 🙁
Can someone give me a TLDR or ELI5. I dont have the time to comprehend this
AWWWW YEAH HERE WE GO. *Duke it out! Duke it out! Duke it out!*
Here’s a free statement that is better than the hot air they just put out.
« The Arizona Coyotes are extremely disappointed in the ASLD decision to cancel the land auction so close to its planned date. The organization has followed every step required in order to purchase the site of our future arena. The Arizona Coyotes and their owner Alex Merulo remain committed to seeing that NHL hockey return to the desert as quickly as possible. Thank you for your continued and loyal support. »
Does Murello have the rights to NHL hockey in Arizona, or is it just the Coyotes name? If the latter, just dump the previous name, find an actual owner with an actual arena, call them the Outlaws (it fits better here than in Utah), and embrace the return to Arizona hockey.
Show of hands. Who’s surprised by this? Alex Meurelo is more full of shit than a Christmas goose. He’s taking his billion dollars and running.
Well Fuck you Merulo
Annnd the mayor savaged meruelo afterwards
They said Arizo-nah
« By cancelling the land auction, the state is forgoing.. potentially billions of dollars »
Yeah, that definitely sounds like something that could’ve happened.
A travesty. A sham. A mockery. A TRAVESHAMOCKERY.
You’re a shitty hockey club owner. No one wants to do business with you. You were voted out of your city. The NHL has went as far away from you they legally could cuz you were halfway into the time you had and the ball wasn’t even rolling yet. And maybe your state doesn’t want to do business with either.
I have no clue whether the AZ government did something unethical or illegal here but all I know is that the inconvenience and embarrassment this caused couldn’t have happened to a nicer asshole than Meruelo
https://i.redd.it/svywgxj5g08d1.gif
This will cement Meruelo as the biggest POS to ever walk the desert. Yotes fans will hate him from now to eternity.
“Hey ASLD, I’ll give you 100mil of the 1bil if you tank this auction for us so I can walk away and your the bad guy”
“Say no more”
I know he still has 5 years to bring back the Coyotes but what happens after the 5 years?
Does the NHL regain the name? Does it revert to Utah? Are we just never allowed to refer to them?
Will it be like how we currently have Nordiques merch and Whalers merch but no Thrashers merch.
The NHL is trying to Eddie Livingstone Alex Meruelo
WHO are the Arizona Coyotes?
I feel like this « ownership » tries to screw themselves over.
He wants to have the coyotes in Arizona, it gives him gambling rights for casinos. It is very clear, however, that the state of Arizona has zero interest in working with Alex Muerelo. None at all. I don’t think this is a hockey problem, the dude seems shady AF and has burnt all his bridges in the area.
People still work for the Coyotes?
Time for me to pull my Nordiques sweater out of the closet. Just kidding; I WISH I had one.
But the Utah Nordiques had a nice ring to it.
It’s funny to complain that the state « unilaterally » cancelled the auction, as though Meruelo should’ve gotten a vote in the decision.
Arizona said “let it go”
Who are the Arizona Coyotes?
I’m out of the loop on this for sure, but why would him building a stadium lead to “billions of dollars” going directly to education?
« Wont somebody think of the children!?! »- Arizona Coyotes
if it was a land auction then they had to win the auction – claiming the land was identified as the future home is nonsense. It was desired, but it’s not available.
Right…. They’re doing it for the children…. 😂

Dude should take his billion dollars and fuck off, roadrunner style.
Maybe if they paid bills on time and weren’t assholes this wouldn’t have happened, guess we’ll just never know.
