Thanks to the cancerous pair we have suffered over the years, they have painted an unfair picture for all american business men. We have to get past that.
and he is the owner of the most successful MLB for the past decade. ive faith that this guy knows what to do to create a championship winning team.
It's not the same. The draft system is a totally different animal to how it works in football. A franchise in American sports is pretty much guaranteed to generate significant income no matter how the actual side performs while in Football it’s not like that. I wouldn’t look at the success of the Red Sox on the pitch and use that as a barometer of how he would fare with LFC.
This club requires significant investment. We are talking hundreds of millions pounds and while I be as happy as anyone that the current idiots will be gone I don’t just want some rescue package where the majority of the debt is cleared but then the club is left basically treading water.
baseball is the most transferable to European football of the major American sports. Yes there is a draft, but you are drafting 18 year old kids, and players don't really step up to the majors for 3-6 years. You have to develop your own talent, and the bigger clubs can afford to have overseas development academies because foreign players do not need to go through the draft system. Also, there is no salary cap in baseball, if you want a good team you have to pay for the privilege.
The Red Sox have the 2nd biggest payroll in baseball.
They wont go splashing cash around showing off their big D.icks like a Man City or Chelsea. Instead they will likely milk every dime possible they can through increasing revenue, and then smartly reinvest that money into the team. Winning is the most important thing, because that is what ensures your asset is worth the most.
The Red Sox owner is not (or at least was not) a Red Sox fan. He was involved in many other different baseball teams before becoming the Red Sox owner. He has respected the history of the club while also realizing that the fans wanted a winner desperately and did what was needed to make that happen.
I don't understand the obsession on here with nationality. Yes H&G were American. They were also white, how come nobody is saying no more white owners? They were both men, nobody is saying no more men owners. No more grey hair owners!
