Craig isnt wrong. Anyone who keeps going around saying that AM is the quickest way we will ever have a team needs to pull their head out of the sand.
He has burned every bridge with anyone he has worked with in the state. Instead of announcing that they are willing to work with Phoenix on the land auction, they release that presser yesterday like a kid throwing a tantrum, threatening legal action against somebody that THEY NEED TO WORK WITH. Especially when, yet again, ALL OF THE FAULT LIES ON THIS OWNERSHIP GROUP FOR NOT DOING THEIR DUE DILIGENCE ON THE LAND.
Even if he is the quickest option for a team, which at this point seems unlikely, nobody in the NHL wants anything to do with him, so it would be perpetual hell until they inevitably folded a second time. An AM team will never attract top talent GMs, Coaches, or off-ice personnel after the reputation he has created for himself.
It is especially damning that reporters are now going on record saying that they think AM will intentionally hold onto the rights for the 3.5 years, even if his hopes are over, just to spite the state and the market until a time when the NHL can legally revoke his rights.
AM and his son need to fuck right off, and get out of the state.
He’s an incompetent moron. None of this surprised me. I’m starting to soften on the league pulling the plug, it looks like they know they’re dealing with an idiot and are trying to avoid litigation by giving him a reasonable timetable that they know he can’t meet. Set him up for success and failure at the same time.
The league gave Meruelo enough rope to hang himself with and by god he’s going to do it. I’m sure Bettman and the rest of the NHL knows that this ownership group wasn’t ever going to be able to get an arena built. My hope now is that they tell Meruelo it’s over and he needs to be open to a sale. The Coyotes will never be able to succeed as long as he and his idiot son are running the show.
