Hey Terry.
You probably won't ever see this, but it's been a long time coming. You bought a team that you claimed to love and you've ruined it not just for yourself but for everyone associated with it, everyone who also loved this team.
Sell. Do whatever you have to but your ownership has killed this team more than any scandal or bankruptcy or internal budget ever could. Every decision you have made has been the wrong decision. It might be time to make sure that you don't make decisions about the team any more and the only real way to make sure that happens is to sell the team so you can not do any more damage. This team once had a season-ticket waiting list. It's gone. So is your season ticket base.
Think about this - you've never hired a qualified president. Find one. Hire them when you are on your way to the league to find a new owner so that whoever is coming in has a solid front office. They might say harsh things. They might swear. But how about instead of installing more money managers or football people or Pittsburgh TV execs, you find someone to be team president who isn't you? Go away.
And for the love of hockey, you have killed this team and should sell now and forever more. You have your profitable toy in the Bills where you can pretend to be important and make money. But get out of hockey. It isn't for you. If you can't see what you've done to the team, to the fans, then you need a private come-to-Jesus with some of your season ticket holders who have canceled because of the shit show of an operation you are running.
Get out. Now. Get out. Or fold the team. This has been like a long, bungled hospice stay. We can't take it any more and it's clear you don't care enough to make the right decisions to not be involved with the hockey operations part of things. You're like a first-time mite dad who has decided he can coach, and let me tell you Terry, you can not. Go drill another well, go finish your yacht, go grandstand at NFL meetings but get the f*** away from my hockey team.
I've watched friends spend a lifetime waiting for this team, seemingly spending a lifetime in the time you've owned it, who aren't here any longer. For them, for the fanbase you've destroyed, the people who don't know the joy of this beautiful game because of your constant irresponsibility and ego... SELL.
