I'd say forget it. Forget about new players. Really, it hurts to be in the situation we are in.
For the Yanks to leave, the new stadium has to be built. Think about it, no new owner will be willing to take on the club's debt. The buyers won't bite, and the sellers won't sell, simply because in this market, the Yanks cannot flip their investment for a profit. Capital expenditure, or asset enhancement is a must for them to make a neat and tidy profit, hence the new stadium.
But sad to say, any available funds will go to "enhancing" their selling price, which is the new stadium, and future income driven by ticketing revenue. Ask them to buy players who are assets that will depreciate in value over time??? Forget it.
Welcome to private equity investment. We are being treated like an object of investment. There are no emotions. If it is time to strip their investment bare, you bet they will. Sack the manager, sell our best players, they will do all it takes to make money out of us. When the new stadium is up, they will leave at a good price. As the principle of investment goes, there is no investment that one can hold forever. At the right price, the savvy investor will sell out.
