I thought, and Xenos can correct me, tat he simply meant that he doesn’t believe Dea’s big concern is charities or mismanagement or any of that stuff. It’s as you said - she’s getting up in years and she just wants her part of the inheritance in cash, not box seats o games she’s not that interested in going to or equity notes she can’t spend. She wants out, a rough billion or so (hundred mil here or there) sounds really good to her. Her lawyers devised a legal strategy based on this goal because as others noted - what billionaire is out there that wants to buy her 24% non-controlling interest?
edit: and I don’t assess that motive is bad, good, or otherwise. Just guessing at real purpose of her actions.
Dean can’t afford to buy the team and the ONLY reason the chargers haven’t already been put up for sale is because the other two siblings are following some misguided allegiance to Dean. The whole thing is about as stable as a house of cards. All it takes is one other sibling to have a change of heart and Dean is out regardless…
Like I said in a previous post, it’s easy for him to talk about “daddy wanted us to keep this in the family etc…” because he’s running shit, if dea was running the team and the other two were backing her instead of him, I wonder if dean would be okay with keeping it in the family then?
Dean’s holding her inheritance hostage and she’s never made her intentions a secret, she wants out, period! It’s not like she’s trying to wrestle control of the team from him thru some bullshit lawsuits, she just wants what belongs to her…"The author assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions in the content of this post.

What billionaire is stupid enough to buy Dea’s share and be subordinate to these ass clowns?
The only way Dea will get a fair price is if the entire team is sold. Otherwise she is going to get pennies on the dollar.

Why should dean get to put her off from what’s rightfully hers just because he wants to stay on as owner?

We appear to agree on that, not sure why you're so excited about Xenos and I saying that.
I'd love if Dean is forced to sell. I'm not a Spani fan. I don't believe whatever Dean memo saying he'll sell in 2024 until I see it. I'd bet that has more loopholes in it than Trumpy's backdoor term sheet bullet train. I'd love some Bezos Bozo to buy the team and add another several B's to build a San Diego Stadium as he wants to be unquestioned king of his empire and not Kronkes subletting parlor bitch. I just doubt that happens. Dreams live though ... if that happened I could once again share Bolt-love with all of my friends and even part of my family - 98% who now blindly hate the LAC with rabid pride.“Less is more? NO NO NO - MORE is MORE!”

But then seeing the results of 2022 and still having Saturday as a finalist after three (four?) interviews is definitely a choice. I’m grateful Ballard convinced Irsay to go with Steichen instead.Chiefs won the Superbowl with 10 Rookies....

I'm not, and I don't think Xenos, was saying Dean should be able to put her off. I agree she owns 24% and has no way to get to her money, effectively its not really hers, it just has her name on it. If I were her, I'd want my damn money too. I'd even assume that parts of her lawsuit were filed in good faith - that Dean is using his control to enrich certain parts of the family (his part) more than the rest of the family. Other parts about Charities etc - eh, i think she just wants her money.

me I could give a fuck if they come back to san diego half my family has always resided in LA and I don’t have any anti-LA sentiments in my DNA, I’ve been rooting for the lakers, bruin basketball, and USC football since I was a kid, my SDSU Aztecs are still number one but I like what I like, but yeah, fuck the dodgers I’m a diehard padre fan…but I have zero hate for the city of angels, I love SoCal and everything that it’s about from Hollywood to the beaches to the culture, ALL of it! I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else…If they get more respect in LA from the new york mafia that is the NFL, then I hope they stay there especially if it means we get some superbowls so to me LA+superbowls > SD-superbowls,nesides we’ll always have our 56 years, the chargers are forever tied to this city no matter what, plus fuck, they’re a 1 1/2 hour drive from here so it’s not like they moved to fucking san antonio texas or some shit like that!"The author assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions in the content of this post.

The spanos are just a fly on the collective balls of charger nation…

be lots of problems. The NFL overseas ownership deals. Plus based on the Commanders, Dean and Co. may be looking at forking
over $1.44B to Dea. The Spanos' greatest asset by far is the Chargers. They are already over $340M in debt. Dean and Co. would
be using the Chargers worth to finance a buyout deal. That would put them in future debt and some of the clan may not like that,
forcing Dean to sell. But hey who knows? It's a mess for sure.

So that’s going to be Pennie’s on the dollar because that new investor would be liable for the sa e discount to “fair market value” in the future should they wish to pull out.
The only time any partial owner is going to get “fair market value” and all that appreciation is if the entire team is sold.
If I bought Dea’s shares, I would insist on a contract with the rest of the owners that specifies I could get a “fair market value” for the share based on an independent appraisal should I want to sell in the future.
Otherwise, whoever buys Dea’s shares is as screwed as she is right now.
