Uh-oh!

Financing to purchase the Coyotes. There's still that little problem about the lack financing to operate the Coyotes.

nope, once the fans know there is an owner they're all going to flood back.

I'm sure all 36 of them are celebrating as we speak.

This is week old news

Likely a combination of investors who don't want their involvement known until it's a done deal and a seller who doesn't want terms leaked. There's nothing unusual about it.

PHX its 2012 and 1 month away for you to start the annual rack up the $ money $ in the minus ledger hourly.

Maybe the league should mandate a deadline to purchase a minimum 13,000 season tickets for a period of five years as a stipulation before signing off on the proposed deal.

Ice Edge sounds like a minority investor in the group. My speculation below:

Greg Jamison (Chief Partner)
Matt Hulsizer
Ice Edge Holdings
John Breslow (Former Coyotes minority owner)
Jim Trelieving

I thought Matt was buying the blues?

Didn't jumbo tweet that he was not involved. Maybe Gary should just go on the dragons den.

#Glendale sales-tax initiative to appear on the November ballot. #AZ Supreme Court denies city’s request for review.

If the sales-tax initiative gets a "No" vote in November, is that it for the Coyotes in Phoenix?

The deal will be done long before that.

Given the history of this debacle since 2009, I wouldn't put too much stock into confidence at this point.

I think part of the reason Glendale is delaying now is because they want to wait until the November tax vote.

That could be troubling as even if the tax vote goes through, it will be a new council and new mayor doing the final vote on the deal.

I think the issue will be resolved long before that, yes. Whether that resolution involves an actual deal is another question.

Unless Glendale, the NHL and Jamison come out before that referendum and say "the deal is done and signed in blood", you can kiss the Coyotes goodbye after 2012-13, even if they don't formally say so until next May.

[Vulcan]

I don't see how the COG can go ahead with this deal without the tax increase and since the tax increase chances of passing is iffy, the deal with Jamison should be dead in the water. That seems like sound thinking to me but with Gary whispering in their ears, sound thinking and the CoG don't have a lot in common.

Report on Fan 960 - Doan is staying in PHO - he feels secure that deal will close, and has worked out a contract.

http://www.azcentral.com/sports/coyo...ml?sf5952987=1

Doan says a deal between him and the Coyotes is done. All that he's waiting on to put pen to paper is Greg Jamison acquiring the team.

Doan confirms what's been speculated for awhile now, that Jamison has secured the money to purchase the Coyotes and the money is waiting in escrow.

Doan: Yeah, I will be signed by midnight on the 15th. I'll sign somewhere. My goal is to sign here, and I've told everybody. It's funny. I haven't talked to one person in the media. I haven't done anything other than a couple times with TSN where I had to do things. I did an autograph appearance, so I had no choice. And then I did a PA thing that I had no choice. My goal has been to stay here the whole time. Don and Tip and the organization have been great. We have a deal worked out that we just want to make sure that the team gets signed and that everything gets done and it gets done before the 15th.

Bickley: On a scale of one to 10, where is your optimism at?

Doan: I'm probably always going to remain very optimistic. Maybe to a fault, but I'm very optimistic that it's going to get done in the next few days. People always say, 'They've been telling you the same thing for three years.' It's different now. Mr. Jamison has been cleared by the league. He has the money in escrow. The lease agreement was done already once, so the core issues of it are done. Everything's in place. We just need the city to sign off on it because everything else is done. And the city, obviously the deal with the city has been worked and talked about so much and the city has been helping out with keeping the Coyotes here and they've done so much. It's not like anyone's saying it's up to them, but that's the last piece. If that can get done, then everything is really in place for this franchise not just to survive but flourish and I'm excited about that.
