Company description::
The pettion to which everyone is invited to sign states:
Sterling Equities has been an owner of the New York Mets since 1980 and full owner since 2002. Fred Wilpon is its Chairman and CEO. Jeff Wilpon is Executive VP and Chief Operating Officer.
Over the past years, this management team has made poor business decisions about investments in players. As a result, the NY Mets franchise has become a 2nd tier organization in a community that demands and expects boldness and intelligence. The NY economy and the community is ill served by the current NY Mets ownership, which has lost the necessary boldness and ability to develop and sustain a competitive team in the 21st Centrury. The ownership seems to hesitate to make effective decisions. The confidence they displayed in the 80’s appears to have vanished after the year 2000.
Accordingly, it seems that it is in the best interest of the NY community and the corresponding economy, the fans of the NY Mets, and the other owners of Major League Baseball that Sterling Equities put the franchise up for sale before the 2004 season opens in April.
We request Sterling Equities to inform Major League Baseball of its intent to put the New York Mets up for sale. Although we recognize the financial and other criteria Sterling Equities will need to consider to determine a targeted sale price, we are confident that a fair and equitable price in a promising NYC market will be secured.
This petition will be sent to Sterling Equities to the attention of Mr. Fred Wilpon on or about April 4, 2004.
If you support our efforts to have new ownership improve the state of the NY Mets, please add your signature below. |
