What could make the Jones family sell?

[DasTex]

Scandal, but it would have to be a real doozie - if it's not, Jones family beats 99% of them

 

[exciter]

Some good anti Jerry posts floating around which got me thinking about the scene in Dumb and Dumber when Jim Carrey is getting rejected by Lauren Holly and uttered that often used line “…so your saying there’s a chance….”

Anyhow, it a sad state so might as well dream a bit. What could make the Jones family sell? In my opinion there is a non-zero chance one or more of these things might happen.

1. Scandal they can’t run from
2. Jerry leaves this earth and Stevie is not all in
3. Houston wins a Super Bowl and the league gets annoyed with Jerry and puts a team in San Antonio
4. Private Equity goes “full ******” and pays $15B for the team
5. More circling the drain which forces a major fan and alumni backlash
6. Texas Oil money comes knocking and convinces Jerry to sell
7. Team operating revenue takes a dirt nap and Jerry grabs the remaining value while he can
8. Father and son ego war

Anyhow I think any of these are viable. So what I am saying is there’s always a chance.

Thoughts? Thank you.

The NFL become a long term non profitable entity!
200 years from now, Jerry Jones the 8th is going to be the owner.
Everyone should resign themselves to that reality so that when can move beyond this delusion and actually have constructive conversations!

you realize that really none of those are going to work,

the whole Washington scandal thing that would have to be the entire ownership would have to be under indictment for something...

If something happened with one of the Jones family had a scandal they simply stepped down from the ownership they can't force the Dallas Cowboys to sell if it was one person in a group of owners I don't know how they set up their ownership even if it was Jerry Jones being so owner which I don't believe he is he could just basically sell the team to Steven he can step off of the ownership dissolve his part of the ownership if it was him or vice versa or one of them in that group it's pretty easy to skate around the NFL can't force them on who to sell to just whoever's in broiled in the scandal would have to step away....

Do you remember the Marge Shott story way back she had to sell her controlling interest basically pushed her out.. I don't know who she sold to because I don't know much about the story but if it was in the case of the Jones family, the person who is indicted criminally or whatever it is they did that they could be forced to sell it would be their interest but the rest of the family ,they would end up assuming ownership..

So I know you guys really want change but it would take a disastrous scandal like the entire ownership group that has controlling interest would have had to murder somebody and they all knew about it and they all covered it up and they all knew where the body was that's about it because if not we're just gonna get one of the other family members and they'll be pretty much more of the same..

I mean when al Davis passed away they didn't sell the team his son took ownership and nothing's really changed...

 

[blueblood70]

A legit scandal would be far away the number 1 reason. Perhaps when Jerry is no longer here there's a power struggle and Gene thinks it's best to sell. However, the family is so entrenched here, it's hard to imagine that unless Jerry specifically calls out to sell. Everything is likely already setup with carved out roles for everyone.

Exactly what I said it would literally have to be the entire ownership group being involved in some kind of murder scandal or something where they covered it up they all knew where the body was and no one came forward to force the entire ownership to sell whoever is involved in the ownership that gets the scandal hung on they would just sell their part of the ownership they're controlling interest to the others and it would still be run by the Jones family I'm with you they probably already have this set up for somebody passes away or in a crazy scenario like that of how they're going to proceed...

 

[beware_d-ware]

The other owners would have to pressure them out somehow, a la Dan Snyder.

Jerry and family are diversified at this point to where they'd still be billionaires if the NFL vanished tomorrow. Fans often say that Jerry's in it for the money, but at this point, he doesn't need the money. He owns the team for the fame and the attention. Jerry's a narcissist who lives for that stuff, and there's nothing else he'd rather have, not even for $10 billion.

Stephen doesn't seem to love the limelight as much as his dad does, but I don't think he's motivated to sell either. He's already got the Highland Park mansion, the yacht, and the helicopter, and frankly he's a man of no stellar talent himself, so what else would he do besides run the Cowboys? It keeps a guy busy.

It seems like the family's got a pretty clear succession plan among the kids once Jerry's gone, so there won't be any weird divorce or inheritance forced selling of the team. We've just got Joneses ahead on our horizon for the foreseeable future. They don't need to sell and they don't want to sell.

 

[Rayman70]

Scandal, video tape, and losing year after year.

 

[csirl]

Most of the families wealth is tied up in the team. The NFL doesnt allow transfer of ownership to a collection of minority owners, so he has to leave the team to one child. If its Stephen, where does Stephen get the cash to buy out his siblings inheritance? So dont rule out the team being sold when JJ passes on.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

That's a good list. We just have to hope for #2.

Something in the 13 to 15 BILLION dollar range should do the treat.

I would assume Jerry is the owner through some entity that has some type of iron clad succession plan after he passes. Maybe to his wife first, even if she's there in name only as owner.

Even then, the only issue I could see is if most of the siblings/his wife want to cash out, then there could be an issue/the next owner may have to sell off % of the team to buy out the others.

 

[Pass2Run]

Nothing.

Why would they?

 

[DallasEast]

Nothing.

Why would they?

That is the central question. They are already billionaires. Their industry is on a solidly sound foundation. What would be the motivation that prompts them to not make billions more?

I don't know it might have something to do with the fact that their Gross worth is not liquid, it literally is involving the Cowboys are assessed at being worth 10 billion and then the rest of their assets equal 5 billion.. BUT how many of that actually all said and done available to them
?

like liquidity, NET WORTH, like if they wanted to buy something else that cost 15 billion if they sold the Cowboys and everything else, they had to turn it into liquid cash, how much are they really worth?

When you look at a lot of companies that allegedly are fortune 200 or Fortune 500 wherever you want to go at a lot of these people have needed bailouts from the government they're supposed to be worth billions but they're constantly needing money and in the red because the business itself is sucking them dry even though the business if they sold it all out might be worth something but while they're running it just because it stated it's worth an X amount it's not liquid it's tied up.​

How many times have we seen multi-millionaires or billionaires file for bankruptcy or very large corporations that are very recognizable restaurant chains they have to file Chapter 11 so they can figure out how to start making money again but when you sell off the business of somebody now you have actual worth in cash in the bank to spend on something else...

Thing I see with the Jones family though is they enjoy doing this this is something they had pegged as a bucket list dream and now they're living it so I don't see them wanting to sell it because then what would they do besides take endless amounts of vacations until they die?​

​

I mean isn't their life sort of like a vacation to most of us anyway they can go on their yacht or their helicopter or go anywhere they want in the world as it sits I mean how much more money do you need to live you can't spend it all as I say and you also can't take it all with you so the conundrum is there is no answer to your question because we don't know what their motivation is as far as when they dream of retirement and what that means to them...​

Do you think the Joneses have enough in their piggybank for me to borrow a dollar?

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

What would a Saudi run NFL football team look like? It doesn't seem like their takeover of Newcastle was necessarily bad.

Better than a Jerry fan football team I’m sure of it.

Wow, again, I never thought of it that way! I'm going to have to send this to the Library of Congress and see what they think about whatever the hell you said.

It'll be one of the grandkids. Booger will hang onto it until he looks like a dried prune. When the grandkids get control, they'll cash out and run with the money.
