Rapaport: Ross sale may depend on 2013 season.

Which also means Ireland is on the hot seat for sure.

 

and Philbin and Tannehill and freakin square one again.

 

Maybe, you can turn over the GM w/o changing Staff or your Qb, if they succeed then all the better.

Sounds to me like Ross is putting the heat on the organization, and if folks recall, Wayne H sold the team, or the sale was finalized, in 2008 when we made that run to the playoffs.

 

Nah, usual suspects have a hard time complaining about the player moves, so they have to latch onto something.

 

Players just signed and free agents at the end of the year can't be joyed about this kind of talk...instability is not good..

I need to hear from Ross.

 

would you agree that Ross needs to make a statement before this turns into a wildfire?

 

Dee has been his mouthpiece the last few days, and I'm sure the message he's been selling us the last couple of days, has been blessed by Ross before being spread to the public.

 

I don't believe it..

 

Nasty I don't think you get this.....Tallahassee doesn't give two ****s about what happens in Miami-Dade, as just witnessed by what happened last Friday. No manner of pressure on them will get them to act differently towards Miami-Dade...they hate us, and actually take pleasure in making life as difficult as possible for Miami-Dade and its government & citizens.

But make no mistake, they love the tax money we generate for them.

 

That's your perogative, but just don't act all shocked when it happens just as some here may have predicted.

 

I won't, it won't be the first time I'm wrong on these types of things and trusting people.

 

His CEO talked to a national reporter, he has made a statement.

If anything he will cone out and reiterate that he has no intentions to move.

 

I don't think you understand how the game is played.

A wise man once said: "A man and a pig can rassle in the mud, but only the pig is gonna like it."

 

huh, if dee is claiming that he will sell and your saying that Ross will come out and reiterate no, are you trying to make my head explode?

 

Why, because they said so?

 

Lol the statements from Dee were intended to do exactly what they are doing.

Ross may come out and say again, that he isn't moving. That way the fans can see Ross say it but the message is already out there for consumption

 

maybe not under public pressure and other city officials?

 

That's what makes me think that Ross was trying to get this done to sell. He and Dee were sure of it, and when it didn't happen were completely taken off guard. That might be the reason why they are acting out so to speak. These are men most people are afraid to lie to, since they usually hold so much power over those people they interact with, they don't usually have to deal with this kind of behavior and react to it.

 

New unis, new logo, new players, and the guys voting had one job. One Job.

 

Well he certainly will now......that is why what they did so damaging. Weatherford will never allow the Dolphins anything while he still has the power to do so, and as long as Ross & Dee are in the picture. I'm not sure he would even allow a new owner to get a bill passed.

They kind of sunk their own boat with their actions. This is why it looks to me like it was a one shot thing all along. If it went through, good for Ross he gets his stadium upgrade just in time to sell the new improved stadium & team, if it doesn't go through, they put out doom & gloom about the team being sold and possibly moved.

To me its pretty nasty and really disgusting if that is what is really going on.

 

Ross isn't selling any time soon.

 

That's not what's happening at all, nor is Tallahassee going to give Ross what he wants next year after what he and Dee have said over the last 2 days. Ross and Dee have burned bridges intentionally.

 

If Mike Dee said the things the original poster says, all the more reason he deserves to be fired.

However I can't find confirmation that what the original poster said Ian Rapoport has reported is actually true. On his NFL Network segment the worst he said is that when asked whether this will mean Ross sells the team, Mike Dee said "it's too early to tell" and earlier in the report Rapoport said that they won't relocate while Steve Ross is the owner, but "in 5 years or 10 years, who knows?"

I saw nothing saying specifically that how the team does in 2013, whether they make the playoffs or not, will determine whether Ross keeps the team or sells it.
