My second wish is that Eddie D in partnership with Steve Young & Brent Jones would place a new 49ers expansion team here in SF.

Now keep in mind we would lose all of our current players, coaches, and owners. However we would gain our old owner back.

Would this be something you guys would be interested in?

cool you have the name but what about the history and the championships

They would go right back to Eddie D ala the Browns, the yorks can't claim ownership of those 5 trophies anyway. The history would stay in SF...

wow. This thread is the rock-bottom Niner Talk moment for this season. We need an intervention.

As long as we're playing make believe, how about this scenario?

The Yorks sell the team back to Eddie, retaining 20 - 30% ownership in the name of Jed York.

As I understand it, the league is now amicable to the idea of Eddie becoming an owner again (considering the mess the Yorks have made in SF, they'd probably welcome it with open arms).

The original sale was, in part, a financial settlement... a way for Eddie and Denise to divy up their father's fortune. I believe that Eddie is now in a much better financial position. Also, Eddie and Denise have repaired their relationship and are now much more friendly.

Eddie would become "managing partner" and Jed could learn the ropes as "junior partner." The team stays "in the family" per Denise's wishes, Jed gets to follow his dream (in a reduced role), Eddie gets to recapture his glory days, John and Denise get to walk away from the whole headache, and the long suffering fans finally get some competent people in charge oif the team.

I would support any idea of placing EDDIE D back in charge of HIS team. This has been a joke every since he left!

3. Even if Eddie D. could own a franchise, there's no reason at all to assume it would be successful. We won under Eddie D. because:

a) There were no salary cap restrictions, and we simply outspent people.

b) We had a once-in-a-lifetime coach who revolutionized the way offensive football was played. This happens from time to time, defenses adjust, and then it happens again with a new revolutionary approach. We got lucky that the revolution happened once on our sidelines and in our gameplan meetings. Eddie D has @ss to do with it.

You're basically saying you want to give up your team on some absurd pipe dream that is not only impossible but laughably unlikely to create your desired results.


blarghhhh webzone.

Bingo. All 5 Super Bowls were won before the salary cap took full effect in 1995.
Eddie D would spend the money on a GM and real HC, and that would help a lot.

Exactly, Eddie D wasn't all about bargains! He knew that "you get what you paid for" when it comes to winning championships.

3. Frame the new Eddie DeBartolo for murder.

4. Problem Solved.

Who is all about bargains? This is the first year in awhile without a big FA signing because we have our own players to resign. We've already locked up two pro-bowlers. What are you complaining about. How does "you get what you paid for" even relate to the conversation?

1) Do you know what the salary cap is?
2) Do you know how it works?
3) Do you know why Eddie D. is no longer our owner?
4) Why would you make a thread based on an impossible suggestion that you defend with logic that in the best case scenario can be described as flawed?
5) Why isn't this thread locked?

I get it, you're upset. We all are. You're hyperventilating and not making any sense though, imo.

Arghhhh webzone.

this is honestly the worst thing I can imagine. Starting over as an expansion team? No thank you. We are bad but that's just ridiculous.

When Jed's in trouble, and doesnt know what to do......you think he calls his dad for advice ? Hells no. He call his uncle. Eddie D. is involved, Im sure, to whatever extent he can possibly be.

The problem is that this team still has pieces from the JOHN York era, including the QB and coaching staff. We need to purge the team of all this crap, and let Jed form the team through his uncle's vision......

I know Jed gets a lot of slack for the team's losing efforts, but the unit we field today is his daddy's 49ers, not his uncle's.
