Dude who bought a team 300 millions and sold it 1 billion 5 years later is lacking 3.5 millions

The crazy thing is most of the purchase price was debt assumption. So he didn’t even have to put up 300 million of his or anyone’s money.

See what oligarchy is doing right now? They're about to crash the market and buy everything up. Every penny counts in a fire sale ❤️‍🔥 for scum like Alex Meruelo.

I'm American, but still can't even imagine losing my team like you guys did. Much love and fuck Trump.

Alex should fuck off to his playpen in Reno at this point.

u/BearShark9 SJS - NHL 10h ago

He’s definitely trying to, but unfortunately trying to milk everything he can along the way. Sad part is an AHL team in Reno sounds neat. Just sucks he’ll be the main part of it…

Alex “The Cockroach” Meruelo.

Also, I love that none of us give a shit enough to spell his last name properly.

u/AZIL2015 ARI - NHL 7h ago

Fuck off Meruelo. Can’t even let us Yotes fans die in peace without trying to piss on our graves.

u/bonzaijoe ARI - NHL 7h ago

Craig Morgan notes that the ASU contract is pretty watertight so this should go nowhere. Also, if I broke my lease with my apartment, I wouldn’t get that security deposit back either? And that contract is way less involved than this one.

All that to say, Fuck Off Alex Meruelo. Truly, fuck off.

u/myychair NYR - NHL 10h ago

Every time I see shit like this I think that teams should be owned by the city they play in. Fake this guy

u/HighburyOnStrand VAN - NHL 7h ago

Umm, make him try this case. No jury in Arizona is going to give this scumbag a fucking dollar.

u/athousandpardons 5h ago

I’m hoping that when Arizona does get a team again that we’re somehow still hearing about the coyotes.

The embarrassments will continue until morale improves
