What evidence? Or is it hearsay?I would hope not. Regardless, the evidence is mounting that Meruelo is a bad businessperson.

Hearsay, that's all. We don't know the whole story. I mean, they might be some validity to some of these claims, or not.We have multiple vendors in multiple sectors saying they're not getting paid. Are they all just making it up?
Thanks for posting. tear jerker.Someday...I will watch this...not ready yet.
So you worked for you father? I think that was a point I was making.
Being put in charge of social media is no big deal. I worked for a Japanese production company and the owner put his wife in charge and she did a great job.
AM Jr. was not running the company, but I bet when it comes to having him LEARN and DEVELOP,
being around his father and the number of diverse companies that he owns, is a better experience than any Ivy League business School education.
I'm a baby boomer and I think that's a huge advantage. It seems every day there's a story of people's lives being ruined because of unsubstantiated rumors or hearsay on some social media platform. I'm amazed at how sure people are on this site about Meruelo and his family. These are people that have never met either of them or witnessed what's been said about them. I've learned early on to not make a judgement on someone I've never met or know anything about.
We don't really know what AM Jr. did or how he handled it.
All that being built and yet we can't fid someone that wants to own here rich enough to build his own arena and entertainment center without some sort of city or taxpayer involvement.

Um…. Only thing we’ve heard is in relation to the Coyotes.We have multiple vendors in multiple sectors saying they're not getting paid. Are they all just making it up?
Ok man. If you choose not to believe all of the reports around the situation, that's on you.So you worked for you father? I think that was a point I was making.

Do you have a source that isn't AM himself, saying that Jr and XG had a big hand in hiring GMBA, Jakey? Because multiple people who have worked with the team have said otherwise. Curious to know your breaking source on this.Great post. Isn't social media great.Why doesn't anyone bring up that Jr. and XG had a big part of hiring GMBA. The only person that I heard from the mouth anything about AM and the Coyote's is Nash. He said he had nothing but good things to say, said they stayed in the best hotels and their plane was first class. He said he was always treated well.
Um…. Only thing we’ve heard is in relation to the Coyotes.
Unless you got something else out there that says otherwise.
It was discussed and well know when they hired BA or maybe even before. Not sure if it was Junior or XG say that they were very impressed with BA at the interview, and the way he talks it makes you want to go thru a wall for him, or something like that. Who are the multiple people who have worked with the team have said otherwise?Do you have a source that isn't AM himself, saying that Jr and XG had a big hand in hiring GMBA, Jakey?

I'm not defending him, rather the allegations that no one seems to have proof, and only has one side of the story. Bettman said everything is current with AM and always has been despite losing millions every year. I don't think for a second that AM is a saint, but no businessman is, period.Funny that in this bizarro alternate universe we’ve ended up in that Meruelo sold the team to Utah and left Jakey behind to defend him.
The 2021 Strang article says Meruelo's Vegas casino did not pay a PR firm $22k for work performed and then tried to get the bill reduced through their strongarm bullshit.
I find it amusing that so many on this board were yelling at the top of their lungs for Isbia to buy the team, he's a good owner, has the money etc. etc. etc. Fast forward a couple of months and all of a sudden we realize Isbia screwed up the Suns for the next who knows how many years, then is hit with a class action lawsuit. NOW, everyone is silent when it comes to Isbia, but keeps on complaining about some alleged unpaid hotel room bills. Be careful what you wish for.
It would be nice if the Coyotes hadn’t relocated to Utah. Between Ishbia and Meruelo, only one of the two has sold our team out of state.I find it amusing that so many on this board were yelling at the top of their lungs for Isbia to buy the team, he's a good owner, has the money etc. etc. etc. Fast forward a couple of months and all of a sudden we realize Isbia screwed up the Suns for the next who knows how many years, then is hit with a class action lawsuit.

So, no citation? I have never heard of this! Perhaps I wasn't paying good enough attention at the time.It was discussed and well know when they hired BA or maybe even before. Not sure if it was Junior or XG say that they were very impressed with BA at the interview, and the way he talks it makes you want to go thru a wall for him, or something like that.

Are all the owners of AZ sports franchises bad?I find it amusing that so many on this board were yelling at the top of their lungs for Isbia to buy the team, he's a good owner, has the money etc. etc. etc. Fast forward a couple of months and all of a sudden we realize Isbia screwed up the Suns for the next who knows how many years, then is hit with a class action lawsuit.

Steve Peters has said several times on PHNX, including in his letter to Meruelo video, that AM jr had power over staff and employees, for example taking the copier from coaching staff and not permitting phones at desks. He has also said several times, including the response to AM's press conference on PHNX, that neither Meruelo had anything to do with choosing GMBA or drafting or scouting.
McKayla Perkins, former social media manager for Bally, Denver Sports, current social media director of PHNX,, who also produced social media content for the Dbacks, has said that AM jr frequently uses the twitter account.
This thread has a lot of information both in the replies from her and others.
There are also things like cash flow and liquidity. He paid a lot of these “late payments” from other sources that we have no idea where they are from. That means more accounting…. etc….. etc….There’s a difference between cutting costs and not paying for services rendered. I also highly doubt that AM just suddenly starting doing this when he took control of the Coyotes.
