That is a pretty serious comment that looks to be stated as fact. Why on earth post that with no supporting information? :177692:

They liked Paul, and I doubt they'd have any interest in the team moving.
The Seahawks have a Worlwide following, which means jersey sales and money for the NFL. Are they going to want to shoot themselves in the foot buy starting all over? Especially with the pissed off Chargers and Rams fans already venting their frustrations?
The reaction to a Seahawks move would be extremely negative because the team name would likely change and there is no following for a newly named team like there is for the Chargers, Rams, and Browns.
And what big city fans would follow this team with a new name after dissing on it for years and seeing it get screwed time after time? "Don't move them here, give us an expansion team instead."

Allen had been dealing with this cancer since his 30's, so believe me he had all his long range planning done years and years ago with his various business interests, including the Hawks.
In fact, after Allen's cancer came back it's probably what facilitated McLoughlin leaving the Hawks in September and longtime COO Arnold being promoted to team president of operations for the Hawks and First and Goal..........as well as McGowan being named President of Vulcan Sports, which overseas both the Hawks and Trailblazers.
These are both VERY longtime NW people firmly entrenched in our area that Allen complicitly entrusts.

Cool but as I said, all it takes is one oops in a situation such as his with his wealth and the Vultures start to circle.
You never concede to a disease if you want to win the battle, I hope it is nothing and we can have a great memory and his legacy remains what it is without a messy legal situation concerning his assets.
Is that fear actually based on anything? Or are you just letting scenarios kinda run wild in your mind?toffee":2n49idx3 said:My fear is the now unavoidable new ownership will want to put their "own people" in to run the team, that would mean the end of Pete and John.

If it's his sister Jody, I don't think we have anything to worry about.
If she sells? Then maybe it's time to worry, I just hope if it comes to that now or in the future that Allen put safeguards in place that the team has to remain in Seattle.
Too many idiots like the Nordstroms and Schultz put blind trust in outside of the NW owners coming in here telling the truth about how much they love Seattle and would never move the team.
IMO no Seattle owner should EVER sell to another person or group outside the Seattle area.
