It's pretty obvious that this is not what Meruelo planned, or he would never have applied for a licence contingent on operating a professional sports franchise.

A sensible person would write the whole thing off as a loss and sell the franchise, but I think the tax authorities in Glendale can confirm that Meruelo is not a sensible person. There's no telling how far he may go before giving up.
