EGM - which way are you voting? on 10:56 - Mar 5 by JumeirahDale
SD's name is in plenty of (mostly Dutch) articles about WSH and it seems was disclosed during the ADO Den Haag takeover process prior to WSH falling out of that process and switching to MVV. Bayhawks are basketball rather than baseball but the point stands! The NBA has various feeder leagues, and I think actually purchased the G-league a few years back which led to a lot of those teams being hoovered up as subsidiaries of the major teams - likely involved in SD coming out of the ownership.
And yes absolutely agreed on the last part, but that would presumably be where Bob Heere's expertise would come in, his academic work seems to have mostly focused on sports and community links, and his name also heavily mentioned in all the Dutch takeover articles (believe he is a US/Dutch national), so the link between the three seems to have been there for a few years at least, rather than being cobbled together for the sake of a look at Dale - as looked like was the case with the last round of jokers.
Many thanks. That’s very good intel. I had meant basketball! Don’t know why I typed baseball!!

Reading the MVV forum they have good things to say about WSH as they put money into the club to purchase two good players.
Here is a snippit from the forum..
And the majority of the shares will indeed be in the hands of the Americans. But not all as the article shows. The Foundation retains a share and therefore control and - important to us - the association retains the 'golden share', which safeguards the club's core values. So there will be no 'Red Bull Maastricht' or other monstrosity.
Moreover, we should not expect that a bag of money will simply become available on top of what is paid for the shares. The Americans will help, but the club remains responsible for its own operations. We must take into account that it will become more professional and, above all, more commercial.

The above resonates..
IF we get out of this mess via the Americans and the deal looks close.. we need to look at ourselves closely, how we got into the mess and what needs to happen so we move forward living within the income stream. Dale must take into account that we need to become more professional and, above all, more commercial.

Much of what is commercially possible has been hamstrung by a lack of cash. Its easy to see ticket prices going up and much more marketing taking place to get more bums on seats. There is a huge imperative to make money from the wider community which will also require a cash input, the extent of what can be done will depend on the depth of their pockets, but at least we may not be selling players too cheaply if we are not continually strapped for cash. I also wonder if they might be thinking of bringing some US players over here to play in England and / or Holland.....
