Huizenga going forward with sale of Dolphins

Thanks for the link. As someone who has worked in estate planning, it makes sense. Didn't the sale to Huizenga occur because of an estate tax problem as well?

If it's a tax issue, then selling the team does make sense.

But, please, not to Michael Dell. Please, no.

as much as we criticize Wayne, we could easily end up with someone worse

I wonder if this means cleaning house or status quo?

odds are that Meuller will be kept on at least until the draft is over with

I'm willing to live with an inferior owner as long as the Dolphins stay in Miami.

Care to elaborate? Just curious.

Hmmm...not that it matters...

But why NOT Dell?

Or it could mean that NOBODY will want to come here due to the state of flux. You certainly can't begin to build a dynasty while surrouneded by so much uncertainty. For all that were whining for Wayne to sell the team....you may get your wish.....if so, enjoy the NFL cellar a bit more....we'll be here a while. :unsure:

I want an owner that will get a face lift, do commercials, broker deals for chicken**** coaches to abandon their teams and be an overall jackass

Dell is an idiot. He's successful because he had great timing when starting his company, but ever since the late '90s, he hasn't hasn't had the same kind of success. Judging by the way he runs his company, he has a lack of foresight and imagination, and is out of touch with the needs of his customers.

On Apple, in 1997: "What would I do? I'd shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders."

I don't want an owner who would so easily write off an organization in a bad situation. The Dolphins are the 1997 Apple of the NFL. Michael Dell thought Apple should have been dissolved. Today Apple is kicking his company's ass.

No thanks to Michael Dell.

Dell implemented the BTO PC/laptop business model, it wasn't strictly luck.

he does sound like a jackass though

Hear Hear!

Short sighted, pompous, man...I hope not....

If Wayne H is the understanding rich uncle, Dell is the rich young guy in the convertible who is used to having things his way...now.

Plus these "new" money owners are disasters, Snyder in DC, Allen in Seattle...

Yeah, he had a great idea for a business model, but he came along at the right time.

I don't want an owner who looks at a rebuilding project and wants to disband it.

we better pray to get a hands off guy with deep pockets

I'm up in the air on this one.I for one would like change to see what happens with new owners.I just don't want to start over again.With the instability the organization has had since 99',are we going to go through another 8-10 years of ownership with no results?

Desides, are you on an Apple? :lol:

Hmmm....one interesting tidbit about the article....

He stated we would be open to bringing in a minoroty owner and allowing them to take over the Phins gradually....possibly making it possible for someone with not quite as deep as pockets to step in....

I think Wayne would like to keep Miami "in the South Florida" family...he obviously cares much for the organization..

Might he make it possible for a Marino led group to buy the team...

Actually, I'm using a Dell right now: a three year old Inspiron 6000.

I could buy the team with the home equity line of credit on my house. I then could make payments of over 200 million per year from my income from the Dolphins. I wonder if he would go for that? I've got about 30,000 left on the HELOC. What do you think? Should I call a lawyer to write a written proposal? :ffic::up::thumbup::hi5:

Im game....maybe we could all somehow get involved....can you imagine THAT board meeting and draft...

Keep Cam....Fire Cam....turn Zach Thomas into a fullback...hire Dan Marino to coach the team....move them to LA....hire Steve Spurrier....and on...and on...and...on.....

Thanks Desides, you make valid points, in regards to his attitude.

I dont think we can question the business model of a multi billionaire though. Regardless of timing, it still required an advanced business sense to grow his empire to its current state. So he doesnt want to compete with Apple, big deal. He is focusing on computers alone. Sure Apple will kick butt with the iphone, ipod, etc.

huizenga should have put a retractable roof on phins stadium :)

i would go to more 1:00 games if it wasn't 100 degrees, and so hot that you buy a cold beer and it's hot within 5 minutes...

i've always thought that september advantage cuz of the heat was bs, i mean i realize it exists, but i do with we played in a dome type stadium with the stands closer to the field and no baseball team in there
