She makes the concern that they will have to pay Singletary the rest of his contract and then will have to pay whichever coach the hire and Oh my so much money. How much money do you think the Yorks will lose if they retain Singletary next year, and the fans stop coming to games and the tax payers in Santa Clara say whoa just a minute here we don't want a losing team and forget about that new stadium.
This is the same situation they have had for years and now its time to get seriuos about the future of this team or sell it. Jed needs to set down with Eddie and do some serious talking about how to hire a good and winning coach and stop this merry go round of coaches. When Eddie hired Bill Walsh he went out and talked to coaches and people that worked with Bill and got their opinion about his coaching abilities

I refuse to believe they are that f**king stupid.

Only a Super Bowl would keep Singletary at the helm.

outstanding thread. Pure awesome.

Geez. Get over the "Yorks are cheap" argument. That argument was valid...uh...6 years ago. Not anymore. They spend plenty of cash now. Do you really need examples?

Killion writes the EXACT same article over and over and over....

Its a good read and something to think about.


I have friends -- diehard 49ers fans who plan their weekends around the team’s schedule -- who went to the Seattle game. And they said they felt hollow, and a little sick, at the resounding victory.

When your truest fans get no pleasure from a victory, you know you’re in trouble.

Because they realize what the win means: with each step closer to the playoffs, the 49ers move a step further away from changing their team for the better.

That is true unfortunately for me as well. Last weeks win was the fist time in over 30+ years of Niner football, most of them in the stands in Lower East,, that a win felt hollow. I couldn't shake the feeling for a couple days, and still today I feel; so what.

The York's, Nolan, Sing and A Smith have totally screwed this franchise for those of us who have been through more than the last 10 years.. There is no "belief" anymore it seems..

If they keep Sing, and he stays his course that stadium is going to get might lonely..

Just talking about this sucks...

GO NINERS! I hope........

I'm not a huge fan of her (in fact I refuse to read some of the s**t she produces), but that last paragraph was pretty spot on.

One more win means one step closer to contiguous mediocrity. The Yorks are f**king stupid if they think the 49ers will be better off with Sing limping into the playoffs, while next season every team in the NFC West might be moving forward, while we keep moving backwards with Singletary in charge.

This team just keeps regressing under Sing, he's a nightmare man-child who turns everything to s**t.

She's a looker.

Some of us have been saying this for awhile: Sing could be back. The York do not want to fire him.

A win in San Diego would be the costliest one in Niner history.

How about some examples, that don't include players. The NFL is not baseball where an owner can gut a roster. I don't know what the amount is but the salary cap dictates a minimum a team must spend on players along with a maximum. I think the minimum is around 75% of max. If someone knows the exact amount let us know what it is.

I'm critical of ownership, but you asked:

Stadium Campaign
Upgrading team headquarters/training camp facilities
Establishing team Hall of Fame
Eating remaining contracts of Mooch, Donahue, Erickson, Nolan, and eventually Singletary
The hiring of the useless VPs/Managers in the business sector (non-football) side of the organization.
