Say what you want, but Foote bought a company legally. He figured out how to run a similar company. The previous owners were unable or unwilling to make the company that was sold to HMBL, worth keeping - it cost more to continue owning Tickeri than to divest ( a legal term - divest is usually used in reference to the relinquishment of authority, power, property, or title) - which they divested. Afterward, they went ahead and made a deal with a football league on their own without Tickeri. The divestment was a wise decision. The football league? Not so much, but the company now has real life experience running such a venue. Priceless.
"but, but, but... I got this story about some CEO I once read about... Um... stinky pinky"... save it. This is the HMBL board. Your comparison sucks. You make an issue about my words that perfectly align with what I am conveying - it was a divesture. You, on the other hand paint some vague reference and use "stinky pinky" to paint a very very wide brush stroke. And you manage to be a hypocrite all in 2 posts.
