Not Just A Summer Rerun
—
It’s tempting to say “here we go again” with the latest round of ownership news. It’s not the same, though, we’re further down a bunch of roads. Some of what follows is cribbed from Craig Morgan’s piece he dropped while “on vacation” from a super secret but fun location. Deal Fatigue It was around this time…

Coyotes Bidders Are Serious
—
Taking the advice of a local PR boffin, we requested supporting information from the City of Glendale. Maybe it would be more proper English to use “seriousness” rather than “serious” in describing a fictional barometer, but that’s okay since no such barometer actually exists in many minds. We all want to know who the “serious” bidders…

Spin The Coyotes
—
What if you wanted Greg Jamison to go away? What if you managed to get a story published that made it appear Greg Jamison was begging for a deadline extension while providing public assurance his bid was likely to succeed? That would make him look bad, wouldn’t it? It would make it easier to later dismiss…

Click here if you’re REALLY lazy and want one sample. Wow, huh? Yup, wow. So, how do you “fix” such a nightmare? There are…

It’s clear that, very soon, the NHL will be presenting the group allowed to purchase the Phoenix Coyotes. There is considerable jockeying in…

Coyotes: The Pastor Bid
—
Yesterday was another big news day for Coyotes fans, although once again it had nothing to do with actual hockey. Rest assured there are more big days and more surprises coming over the next few weeks. Probably big surprises. Hopefully POSITIVE ones, of course. The news yesterday was Darin Pastor’s group submitted their finalized bid for…

AZ Republic Contradicts Itself
—
I have work to do and really should be doing it. There’s so much buzz today resulting from what I perceive as a carefully timed Arizona Republic hit piece fired across the bows of the NHL and the Coyotes that we should examine the metamorphosis of the Republic. If you’re reading this, you probably remember Lisa…

The Cow Says “AMULA”
—
I’ve been speculating for awhile the NHL could decide to hold Glendale to an Agreement of Management, Use and Lease (AMUL) that could be significantly LESS beneficial to the City than any agreement they’ve currently negotiated with prospective owners. Certainly less beneficial than the agreement worked out with Hockey Partners (the Jamison group). I didn’t…
