Gayle relies on Lauscha and Loomis to make decisions for her.

Do not expect wholesale change when the two of them are part of the trust to run her estate. Even if Mickey steps aside, they will promote from within.

The media is so afraid that they’ll be uninvited to her Christmas luncheon at Antoine’s that they won’t write a negative story.

This organization needs to be gutted from the top down and cleansed of anyone ever attached to Payton.

I know Gayle personally and she doesn’t have a clue about football and doesn’t care about football. She is in it only for her fortune and fame

These threads are so stupid

What, exactly, do you want the owner to do? Be specific.

DBG, Gayle has no business owning an NFL team. As I said, she is in it only for fortune and fame. She has given full control to Loomis and to be honest don’t think he gives a shite either about the team only his wallet!

By your logic, every owner should be like Jerry Jones. See how well that's worked for Dallas.

She has no idea how to run a company and I’ve been aware of that since her previous marriage. Dennis Lauscha is nothing more than her personal financial planner. She does not have the business acumen to make tough decisions.

Do you think Mickey has been an above average GM in recent? Because if you don’t, who’s going to fire him?

This organization has been without a rudder for five to six years and it’s not showing any signs of progress.

What do I want her to do? Put people in place to move things forward that know they have to prove something. Not two people that used to put a copy of the 2009 Times Picayune on the old man’s desk in 2015 knowing his mind was gone.

Then it's a good thing that she's hands off.

. People can own whatever they want. At least she is not meddling in something she has no clue about. Blame Tom for telling her to trust Lauscha and Loomis

To be honest, Tom Benson knew absolutely nothing about football either.

True, but he knew how to run a business. He was smart enough to hire people who did know football (ex. Jim Finks).

She is never going to do that. She leaves football decisions to others just like an owner should. Now the people in charge have too much loyalty. Owners don't make football decisions besides Jerry Jones. The GM does.

Hold the front office accountable for putting a championship caliber team on the field. Not all owners do this. Some only care about the bottom line and not so much about winning.

Jerry Jones has bought every player he could and still can't go deep in the playoffs. Most owners only care about the bottom line.

and Lauscha and Loomis

Gayle is the second-best and second-worst owner the Saints have had.

She is light years better than John Mecom.

I want the GM of the team to have some semblance of fricking accountability and not have a position that is too big to fail. I don’t want them to be so cozy with the owner that there are a made man.

There is a frickload of real estate of competent ownership between a clueless gold digger like Gayle and a meddling old man like Jones.

Acceptable?
