this is exciting... could be the beinning of the a new Viking dynasty full of playoff wins and Fa's!

What worries me is that Red is making about 30 million a year in profit off the Vikes, but his debt load on the Vikes is small.

Somebody buying the Vikes now (for around 600 mill) will be carrying a much larger debt load. Will they have the money to pay some good FA and keep the good players we have now? And still keep the franchise profitable?

I say yes, because if we DO keep our key players AND sign the necessary FAs we will most likely be a very very good football team, which would allow for price raises, higher cable contracts, etc. Supply and Demand baby.

I think with a new owner this will be a very fun offseason. He may go crazy with our Fa money being a new owner. Lets see how this all plays out.

We can only hope that is the case.

Why don't you read some of the posts before making a post like this, especially since it is your first post. Not a very positive way to start.

I have a feeling that no matter who takes over the ownership of the Vikes, there will be a lot of money spent on Free Agents, etc. because the new owner would want to gain the, approval of the fans and make a name for themselves.

I agree that Taylor looks like the better option because of his track record, but who knows? Maybe this Fowler guy will spend even more than Taylor most likely would. All I can say for sure is that almost anybody is better than Red (please dont jinx us!).
