Offer-No Offer
Does it really matter if there was an offer?
What did Nick R offer us anyway? It could have been everything that we wanted and then some. What he didn't offer was a solution for all the 49ers. He said he would take some back, but I bet the Union guys would not be on that list.
Take a look at the Membership. Would they accept something that would not have every 49er (that wants to come back) back? All the guys that would have sold the 49ers down the drain are not in the Union and therefore have no vote. If they want to sell the 49ers down the road, they should have stayed in the Union.
The present Membership would not accept that offer even if there were an offer. So what is the big deal.
If there was an offer, the GC knew the Membership would not accept a deal without the 49ers, so why vote on it.
Was there a formal proposal put forward by the company that the Membership could vote on? All that was said was Nick R saying he would probably give A-Scales Commands. It was said in passing.
Through all the talks with the AOA, Nick R never had the authority to negotiate anything. Everything he said was put out as feelers to see what the AOA would do. David T was calling all the shots.
Offer-No Offer, who really cares. If it does not address the 49ers issue it will not be accepted.
I believe that are just a few people on Pprune who would sell out the 49ers for any kind of deal. They are scared.
