New Principle Owner Jed York Thread

sounds like you need to take the homer hat off

The NFL in August started allowing private equity firms to buy up to 10% of teams. Recently the Giants announced they are selling 10%. Does that mean they are funneling money to soccer as well? When teams are worth 7+ billion, you can get a nice chunk of money to sell of a part and not really risk anything,. Its pretty straightforward.

Rubbish. The purchase of Rangers is being funded by the sale of 10% of the shareholding in the 49ers, not by salary cap money.

Dude the cap is not the problem, it's spending REAL money which is clearly going in another direction this off season outside of on the 49ers

So owners of other teams can invest outside of their team without impact, but not the 49ers?

What an owner chooses to invest their money on at a given time is up to them…it's their money.

Jed clearly isn't investing s**t in the team this off season and is spending money on a brand new soccer team. That's not an opinion, that's exactly what is happening.

Pure speculation by Cohn. No proof. Just, "hey look at this shiny thing I found in my butt!" 49ers are in the process of shedding older players who are injury prone or no longer productive or both. Every 49er fan saw it last season. Deebo was slow. He wasn't breaking tackles. Greenlaw didn't even play. Even the blocking by Juice fell off.

Kyle and John have dumped unproductive players before. No, it was not some soccer team. It was more of the guys they sent packing were not performing. The NFL is a performance business. If you don't perform, you're out. The 49ers won six games last season. SIX. Not enough. Time for a change. Because, if you do not perform, the next guy sent packing is the coach and the GM.

This literally has nothing to do with what I said.

Jed is funneling money to buy a soccer team. Thats not an opinion, its just happened. Also has anyone bought 10% of the team yet to give Jed real money yet? No.

"Explain why he's trying to sell 10% of the team?" Are you okay? Maybe go for a walk?

So you think TK and both Matt's are lying too? They said part of this is because Jed doesn't want to spend cash. This isn't about the cap clearly with all the DM they're eating.

this is about MONEY and instead of investing back into this team this off season, he bought a soccer team

So they're cheaper than a NFL QB

That's $220M that they gotta pay out of pocket right now.

From what I understand, 49ers Enterprises is a separate business entity.

Dude don't be a dick. What I've said adds up and you're tossing out straw man takes about the giants. Like I said they didn't sell any part of the Niners yet, so what you're pointing out is irrelevant. His money went elsewhere this yr and for whatever reason you can't understand that.

Even John Lynch said it at the combine. Not sure what's so hard for some ppl to grasp. We don't like it but it is what it is. We'd probably all be dong the same if we were the owners and not fans

Not from what I've found. NY times article has said…

"49ers Enterprises is looking to sell a ten per cent stake in its NFL franchise and has been scouting the globe for opportunities to invest in sporting opportunities"

also when I look for their website it's 49ers.com

Yeah he's right. But it's not the bean counter. It's the Yorks themselves. But yes they are shifting money to soccer and taking it away from the 49ers. That hurts our chances. We are doing a rebuild.

More baseless speculation.

The reason for all the cost-cutting now is to get the cap numbers back under control, not because Jed can't afford it. Jed has ALREADY spent the money. That is what the $80 million dead money is all about.

He was literally saying he was told they have "Financial restraints" this off season lol.

49er beat writers saying the same thing. Money was invested elsewhere and we know what it was for. Sucks is what it is.

IIRC, the 49ers have already sold that 9.6% or so to an investor group. That is more than enough to do the soccer deal. In effect, it is new money.

EDIT: They are still in the exploratory phase. 8 large private equity investor groups want to buy into the NFL. 49ers are one of the targets. Buffalo and Miami have already closed deals.

And where's the money NOW to invest? We don't even have enough players to play on the DL currently. Who's playing LBer? Where's the investment in the team going forward? We've signed a bunch of no name scrubs for a pack of cigarettes.

Also no he had not spend that money. Deebo was due $17M in REAL money. Collins was due $10M in REAL money. Same with Floyd.

Stop talking about the cap like that s**t really matters to the owner. What matters is what he has to take out of his wallet and pay a player in real money, not cap hits. There's a difference. That's been the theme of this offseason.

First report of them exploring the idea of selling 10% of the team was like a month ago. As of yet they have not
