The only way GWI can block this deal is by either swaying a vote on the Glendale council or through litigation, and the latter tactic wouldn't likely prevent anything in the short term.
Assuming they could show they had a good case I could see it affecting the 'owners' ability to borrow money, which will be hard enough after todays turmoil on the markets.

Like so many NHL 'owners' it comes down to a guy without the money to pay for the team having to go to the market to make it happen.
