T'as rien à dire sur l'OM ... alors t'es ici chez toi

Dernier message de la page précédente :

Bon, après lecture du reste, je suis en plein cauchemar

[Champoul]

Cette page de commentaires est horriblement inquiétante.

Après, faut relativiser. Les pages de commentaires sur les LD à l'OM seraient aujourd'hui du même acabit. Pourtant, l'OM a été champion de France, a gagné 3 CDL, a eu un des meilleurs présidents de son histoire (Diouf) et un des meilleurs entraîneurs de son histoire (Bielsa).

Tout n'est pas noir. S'il construit des beaux parkings, ce sera toujours ça de pris.

Toi aussi vois la vie du bon côté avec la MDMA

Frank McCourt was a "grass is greener" owner who benefited by following right after a shitty to mediocre Fox ownership era.

On y est complètement

Une petite trad pour bien comprendre

[Rudi Voleur]

Le pire, c'est que les mecs n'écrivent pas tout ça pour chambrer. Certains sont sincèrement désolés pour nous. Et d'autres essaient de nous consoler en imaginant que l'argent volé aux Dodgers pourrait nous préserver d'un désastre similaire: "Things might be different this time given that he made a ton of money off the Dodgers sale. He and his ex-wife were cash poor back in the Dodgers days so they used the team like their own personal ATM to fund a lavish lifestyle."

Tu dis EXACTEMENT ce que j'avais dit dans OMLM

Ben en gros ils sortaient d'une période "merdique à médiocre" sous le contrôle de la Fox, et Frank McCourt s'est présenté et il a bénéficié de l'effet "l'herbe est plus verte ailleurs" ie "c'est nouveau c'est donc mieux".

Et donc : on y est complètement.

Putain !!!

Et moi qui plaisantais sur ses activités caritatives!!! Le mec a puisé dans les fonds caritatifs du club pour offrir à sa femme un salaire trois fois plus important que celui auquel elle aurait pu prétendre. Il a payé son divorce avec la liquidation du club. Les supporters en sont venus à boycotter les matchs pour ne plus lui donner de l'argent : "Hell, pure hell. This guy used our charity organization to pay his wife a salary that was triple what she should have been paid for her position. He used team funds to bankroll his divorce. He bankrupted our team. He has no desire to win baseball games at all. It got to the point with him that Dodger fans were boycotting the games because we refused to give him money"

Le pire, c'est que les mecs n'écrivent pas tout ça pour chambrer. Certains sont sincèrement désolés pour nous.

Ouais, non mais c'est pour ça que cette histoire de mariage me tracasse, je vous jure que c'est vrai, quand je vois sa gonzesse, j'ai envie de m'inquiéter. Elle doit coûter cher. Et imagine un divorce l'an prochain. Ouais ouais, c'est moche ce que je dis. Mais j'aurais aimé qu'il soit pas casé. Ou avec une grosse, vieille et moche.

Moi perso, j'aime bien les grosses, vieilles et moches, mais ces mecs là ne jurent que par les bonnasses, j'ai jamais compris pourquoi.

Ceci dit, y'a des grosses moches qui coûtent cher et n'ont pas de scrupules, regardez Nafissatou Diallo. Bref, je m'éloigne, mais c'est mieux quand y'a pas de gonzesse dans l'histoire.

Le liste des "Sins" de McCourt sur le lien de jairome

1. Purchased Dodgers almost entirely on debt. (Yes, MLB deserves a huge amount of the blame for allowing this to happen in the first place.)
2. Split team and related properties into a tangled web of entities which pay into themselves, the ramifications of which are only being realized now.
3. Charged the Dodgers rent to play in their own stadium, money which went to one of his many holding companies.
4. Allowed incumbent GM Dan Evans to twist in the wind, claiming he was a candidate for his own job, before firing him just prior to spring training in 2004.
5. Fired CMO Lon Rosen and VP of communications Gary Miereanu less than a year after McCourt had hired them, the first in what would be a long string of front-office departures.
6. Conducted managerial search behind GM Paul DePodesta’s back, as DePodesta was interviewing his own candidates.
7. Fired DePodesta a month after an injury-plagued 2005 season, after having allowed him just one offseason to make moves, most of which – Derek Lowe, Jeff Kent, J. D. Drew – worked out well.
8. Placed two sons on the payroll despite neither having an identifiable position with the club.
9. Unveiled plans for massive upgrades to Dodger Stadium, to be completed for Opening Day 2012… most of which, you may have noticed, never took place.
10. Paid Vladimir Shpunt, an elderly Russian self-proclaimed “faith healer” who knew little about baseball, approximately $600k to send the team “V Energy” from his home in Boston. Yes, that’s a thing which really happened.
11. Allowed merchandise/advertisements to be produced which celebrated both the 1962 and 1966 World Series championship seasons and the career of former catcher Lou Campanella, who wore #42 with the Dodgers. (added 7/18/11 – thanks, Luke)
12. Forced out VP of communications Camille Johnston, who announced she was leaving just two weeks after Charles Steinberg was hired. At the time, in December 2007, she was the fourth communications chief to leave since the McCourts purchased the team.
13. Make that five, since Steinberg left when the divorce was announced, along with thefiring of six employees who Steinberg had brought on. (One of whom, admittedly, was a roommate of mine in college. He made out with a friend of mine who later joined a convent. Still don’t know how to feel about that.)
14. Announced separation hours before the start of the 2009 NLCS, creating a public distraction at the worst possible time.
15. Fired CEO Jamie and changed the locks on her office hours after the 2009 NLCS ended.
16. Planned to reduce payroll while doubling ticket prices over the next several years.
17. Asked Dodger fans to choose between talented ballplayers and fields for poor children. (This one, and the next four, are just on Jamie.)
18. Reportedly engaged in an affair with a team employee, bodyguard/driver Jeff Fuller.
19. Sent said employee to Taiwan, where he claimed to represent the Dodgers on a bizarre marketing trip…
20. …but not before taking a European vacation with Fuller on the Dodgers’ dime.
21. Asked for nearly $500k per month in spousal support, including flowers, hair and makeup, free tickets to all NL games, and access to a private jet.
22. Reduced draft pick spending in 2008-09 to the lowest level of any team in baseball.
23. Allegedly fired 40 employees days before Christmas 2009, which at least one employee says was made public knowledge at the team Christmas party.
24. Fired team president Dennis Mannion, who had experience in all four pro sports, in addition to three of Mannion’s employees – and replaced him with Geoff Wharton, who had only a real estate background.
25. Paid Howard Sunkin, a Frank associate and head of the Dodgers Dream Foundation, a salary commensurate with a charity nearly 90 times as large. (The money was later repaid.)
26. Repaid over $100,000 to the charity that had improperly went to Jamie McCourt.
27. Reduced international spending on prospects to the lowest level of any team in baseball.
28. Took at least $100m out of the team for personal use.
29. Considered plans to eventually run for president. (Jamie)
30. Saw at least 22 front-office employees either quit or be fired between September 2009 – December 2010.
31. Attempted to procure a $200m loan from Fox in February 2011 to meet expenses, which was rejected by Bud Selig.
32. Borrowed about $55m from Fox on a personal loan to meet early 2011 expenses, circumventing Selig.
33. Fired security chief Ray Maytorena and left post unfilled for four months, a period in which Giants fan Bryan Stow was nearly beaten to death in the parking lot.
34. Waited days to respond publicly to Stow incident.
35. Sued by his former law firm, Bingham McCutchen.
36. Reportedly investigated by the IRS for not paying taxes.
37. Hired Steve Soboroff, who quit barely two months later after a disastrous stint that included an outright lie about security, which McCourt was forced to apologize for.
38. Watched as MLB appointed Tom Schieffer to monitor the team.
39. Went on New York media tour pathetically trying to drum up public support.
40. Attempted a second deal to sell future television rights to Fox for below-market value, which was also rejected by Selig.
41. Sued by the family of Bryan Stow.
42. Claimed, falsely, that not a penny of Fox deal would go to settle divorce case. (See next item).
43. Announced sham divorce settlement that was not only untenable because it depended entirely on Selig’s unlikely approval of Fox deal, but confirmed that $173.5m would actually go for personal use.
44. Stated that he lived in a one bedroom apartment, which is really a $30,000/month luxury hotel.
45. Met the May 30, 2011 payroll by getting sponsors to pay in advance at a heavily discounted rate.
46. Threatened to sue MLB, despite having signed a document agreeing that he would not when he took ownership.
47. Claimed that the MLB takeover was the cause of low attendance, as opposed to criminal ownership, horrendously bad PR, stadium security concerns, or an underwhelming on-field product.
48. Filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
49. Barred MLB-appointed overseers from Dodger Stadium. MLB responded by demanding that their people be allowed back in.
50. Lined up an incredibly lousy deal ($4.5m fee, 10% interest) on a loan to make June 30, 2011 payroll. (7/1/11 update – it gets worse. The $4.5m fee is upon completion of the loan, and is separate from a $5m upfront fee to make the deal.)
51. Included in bankruptcy argument that since the Dodgers beat the Twins 15-0 shortly after filing was announced, “I think this convincingly disproves the argument bankruptcy is bad for baseball.”
52. Bounced checks to Dodger Stadium security guards and ushers. (Added 6/30/11)
53. Reportedly attempted to take an additional $20m out of the team in April 2011, even after the concerns about making payroll had arisen. (Added 7/6/11)
54. Failed to convince a judge to accept McCourt-arranged financing in favor of MLB-provided loans, with the judge noting “previously undisclosed financial stake in the Highbridge financing had compromised [McCourt’s] judgment.”
55. Cited by Vero Beach, FL, for improperly maintaining a team-owned plot of land and vacant house, with terms such as “nuisance” and “eyesore” thrown around. (Added 7/27/11)
56. Sued by the Dodgers own broadcasters, Fox Sports West, for attempting to sell television rights before Fox’s exclusive contract is over. (Added 9/28/11)
57. Countersued the two men accused of beating Stow, claiming they should be held liable for the attack rather than McCourt, which is fine – but which included comments by McCourt lawyer Jerome Jackson indicating that Stow shares liability for the jumping that ended with his head split open in the parking lot, which is much less fine. (Added 10/29/11)

"When all is said and done", comme ils diraient, on a un bilan de ce genre, en termes de réactions épidermiques pures, sans tenir des explications :

I'm sorry

Good luck. You'll need it

Damn you McCourt

he deserves to burn in hell

McCourt is a turd dressed up in a rented suit

McShitfuckface

I'm really sorry

My condolences

When I hear his name I cringe

Good Luck Amigo you're going to need it

Hell, pure hell.

I am so sorry about that

Burn the pitch down and riot

Un petit côté Lance Armstrong dans son combo déni/réponses faussement candides +légère agressivité . Je n'aime pas beaucoup son style, son ton de voix et encore moins son menton.

Désolé il y a pas de sous-titres disponibles mais ça se situe au moment où la MLB veut reprendre le contrôle de la franchise, à cause des dettes du clubs, mais aussi du fait que McCourt était obligé d'effectuer des emprunts pour payer les salaires. Sa ligne de défense c'est : le club va bien, on est en règle et en plus on a un accord avec Fox pour des droits télés sur 20 ans*.
*ce qui était vraiment un argument de merde vu que, d'après ce que je comprends, ça fige le montant des redevances pour ses 20 ans, alors que je suppose que le marché est là aussi florissant.

57. Countersued the two men accused of beating Stow, claiming they should be held liable for the attack rather than McCourt, which is fine – but which included comments by McCourt lawyer Jerome Jackson indicating that Stow shares liability for the jumping that ended with his head split open in the parking lot, which is much less fine

@ Docteur Darder

Merci pour cette vidéo, elle aussi édifiante. Le parallèle que tu fais avec Armstrong me paraît très juste, sauf qu'il joue moins bien de la trompette.

Non, sans rire, vous avez vu comment il dit "Dodgers" quand il évoque le contrat télé? Le mépris dans sa voix.

Ce mec là ne se contente pas de négliger l'équipe qu'il possède. Il s'essuie les pieds dessus.

Oui, c'est vrai, elle était bien gentille Margarita avec son huile d'Olive et Tom, mais elle aura tout de même multiplié les choix catastrophiques, et ce jusqu'au bout.

Quand elle prétend qu'elle est triste et qu'elle ne veut pas que son fils soit déçu, vous croyez qu'elle est juste infoutue de faire un bon choix, ou qu'elle se fout carrément de la gueule de son gamin?

J'attends juste qu'un lien soit fait entre ce type et le milieu de la prostitution, pour que l'émission de debrief puisse s'appeler On mouille le maquereau. Je pourrais regarder des highlights de Grenier en paix après ça.

Je pense que tout est prévu, elle fait le pire choix pour que son fils soit vu comme le messie dans 3 ans et reprenne le club qu'il aime tant. Elle est douée, très douée

Maintenant que Valbuenana est au FC Lyon, on est un peu plus tranquilles de ce côté là.
