Look at the changes and culture that he has brought to that team.

I would prefer Dan Gilbert to become the owner but anyone would probably be better than no-show Learner.

Banner is a good executive and the fans will be happy with his results as long as he keeps his yap shut and doesn’t insult their intelligence or underestimate their passion, two of his biggest blunders in Philly and what likely got him exited.

And before he invested in the Steelers, he was NOT a Steelers fan, it’s good business to support the team you invest in, it’s that simple.

I can see the press conference after sale is announced. I’m a Brown’s fan now, I’ve got a billion ($) reasons to be one!

Haslam is a minority owner of the Steelers. He once was quoted as saying “I’m a Steeler fan 1000%!” Just what Brown’s fans want to hear. He’ld have to sell his minority ownership in the Steelers to buy the Browns. But come on, 1000% Steeler fan! Browns fans will go crazy! He can’t take it back. It’s on record. This is so funny.

You’ll be in good shape if your new owner is half of what Shad Khan has been.

His favorite player is Troy Polamalu.

I think Packers’ stock is more valuable than any investment in the Browns.
===================================

Don’t flatter yourself. The Packers barely crack the top 10 most valuable teams. 107 million difference, which isn’t much. Considering Dallas is worth 800 million more than GB heh

End of story. Its not unusual for an NFL to take on an investor or part owner.

Instead, the browns have a golden spoon trust funder who inherited an empire and is selling off what he doesnt squander.
Look that up.
Lerner owns 2 sports franchises and both are among the most pathetic in their sports.
This will be a very good thing for the browns.
Haslam was a Heisman finisher! A football guy.
Lerner lives in England, watches their football and ballet.

And start by changing the name CLEVELAND BROWNS itself to THE CLEVELAND DAWGS/DOGS. Embrace the dawg pound. It would be an easy transition and sounds so much better than the browns and the terrible stigma that comes with that name

Please let this man purchase a controlling interest from Lerner.

Ownership, leadership from the top, has been the biggest problem since Al Lerner did

Why when things start heading in the right direction and we have a reason to get excited, we always make news for a different reason?

PLEASE…..if it happens tell the new owner NOT to start all over!!!!

Just Sayin’…Go Brownies!!

I’d like to see them catch a break and get a new owner who is not afraid to invest in the future and build a competetive franchise.
