Hasn't this always been the plan?

Well, except for that whole no comment on leaving the Carolinas thing. I imagine that's probably more to retain a bargaining chip to try to exploit tax payers for a new stadium or stadium upgrades than it is a real threat to leave though.

A threat to move as a bargaining chip for something else maybe but the Panthers are not even close to needing a new stadium.  Despite the "it's old and was built a long time ago" they did something very smart back then when they built Panther Stadium, and something the older venues didn't have, and that was there is a lot of club and box seats in there.  That is usually the main reason why owners want a new stadium.  Plus the stadium is very nice, of course some will disagree, with still plenty of space to do stuff in and around it.  Overall it's still a very good stadium in a great location.

You can absolutely take it to the bank that the new ownership group will try to get something out of the taxpayers after spending billions to acquire the Panthers. That's as guaranteed as death and taxes.

With the first pick in the 2020 draft the st. Louis panthers select

I live near St Louis..part of me would be happy with that, but Carolina sounds so much better and I love all Carolina sports. Let’s hope a move doesn’t happen.

He would only be selling his share of the team.  The other shareholders have a say in this.  The wildcard is whether the join him. 

He's the majority owner and in NC, the majority owner dictates what happens to the team.  The other owners will simply reap the benefits of investing in the team way back when.  One would hope they'd step up since most have ties to the region, but we'll just have to wait and see. They literally have no say in what happens to the team.

Sure, I can agree to that and why I said "a bargaining chip for something else maybe" ...  That could be a tax incentive/reduction to "stay in Charlotte" , money for more work on, in and around the stadium, etc . .who knows; but I just don't see a new stadium.  

Overall I don't like the ambiguity.  It would be nice to know the transition plan.

I hope the new owners we are are also progressive and if we arent successful this year i agree to clean house. I do like wilks though but he should return to his position or be an assistant to the DC. My fear and i know this will sound crazy is that in mr richarderson's  will he will have it the the new owner has to ask first where they see fit the team should be located to and will be sacrificial lamb to moving internationally or other location. I may not live in either carolina but i love the team alot and hope it stays and grows along with the city.

      I feel like we are running out of time on dodging this bullet.  It will be us within 5 years or less imo.

      Brother, I don't have a clue about what to watch, Ive been victim to too many "reality TV" scams. Bear Grylls was the last straw for me.... wait a second I did watch early pawn stars for about 6 full seasons. That slop 90 Day Fiance, Temptation Island, and marriage at first sight shows should be banned. Total trash that get insane ratings.  The last series I watched with GREAT joy and excitement was the first Dexter series on showtime. They do not make any TV movie slop for me in the last 20 or so years. New Dexter was a complete joke. Besides having one gem hidden each year, example I liked dune..... but Im a Syfy junkie.  Hell recently Im on the wine mom schedule with murder shows Forensic Files, dateline, any murder shows copies. My TV/movies knowledge is 20 years ago when history channel had Modern Marvels, MTV played music videos, and BET had Comic View. My gods do I miss those days... Plus Im on a terrible Habit with YouTube shorts, I need to do better...... Sucks being a old soul in this era.

      Idk maybe. Guys like Favre, Rodgers, Brees also only having 1 kinda takes the heat off the Colts only getting 1 with Manning. And none of those QBs had to deal with the Pats dynasty or Steelers/Ravens mini-dynasties (no they are not dynasties but both those teams were in the mix pretty much every year in the AFC and both won 2 SBs in Manning’s career). Honestly think if the Manning Colts were in the NFC they’d have won 2-3.   An elite QB is a big deal but you still have to build a team around them. They could’ve been like the Dolphins with Marino.
