When the Saints hire Glann, we will see that it is ownership that is the issue..

Two female owners who couldn't be more different? More like one competent leader versus a disaster waiting to happen.

Sheila Hamp, born into the Firestone and Ford fortunes, was not just some heiress; she was a champion tennis athlete in high school and college, and she graduated from Yale. She worked in the front office for over a decade. She steps in as chairwoman of the Lions on June 23, 2020, and what does she do? She makes a bold, necessary move by firing Quinn and Patricia on November 28, 2020, after a pathetic 4-7 start. That's leadership.

Then there's Gayle Benson, the receptionist who managed to screw up her own business so badly she got sued over and over and even had an arrest for fraud. She's out there hunting rich widowers like it's her damn job, snagging one with deep pockets. Takes over the Saints on March 15, 2018, and what's her brilliant move? She loses Sean Payton, the greatest coach in team history, because she consistently sides with some clown from a now-defunct CPA firm over a coach who is about to make the playoffs in Denver. Then she hires and keeps Dennis Allen, a coach whose name is synonymous with mediocrity.

One has vision and guts. The other? Yoko in a suit.

I'll bet you everything I own the Saints are not hiring anyone named Glann.

I'm not sold on Aaron Glenn, though, so maybe that guy Glann would be better. Tell me about him.

It won’t take a Glenn hire to see that

We all see it now

So if they pass on him it means ownership is not the problem?

She fired Dennis Allen. She didn't lose Payton. He wanted out since 2018. Get your shite together.

A little harsh. She is an Interior decorator of failed businesses. She did go on her first date with Tom after turning him down, after the local Catholic church hire ups told her to date him to get donations for the church. That was was all in the local newspaper which shocked me. I hope the group of three make objective business decisions, I think the other two fired Allen, I dont think it was Gayle.

Whatever happened way back when with all the family fighting stuff? What did Rita get? Does Gayle own it all and Rita got some $$$ ? Did Rita get ownership or percentage of anything of Tom's? I didn't pay close attention to how all that went back then.

Old man Benson offer of promissory notes for all the Saints shares was rejected, but he did reduce her percentage to estimated 25-35% of the team and converted to non-voting.

It’s time to pressure Gayle to convert her shares back to voting immediately to help save our Saints. If not sell the team.
