The Official John J. Fisher ownership thread

Yes, and they still haven't won anything since they left.

This reinforces the idea that stadiums don't guarantee success or win championships.

It's all about the players.

I still don't see the lure of Levi's Stadium even though they spent $1.3 billion to build it in 2014.

I had fun watching Joe Montana , Roger Craig, Jerry Rice and Steve Young in the 80's and 90's at the Stick but I can't say the same for any of the Niners at Levi's since 2014.

 

Candlestick was a vastly superior place to watch a Niners game than Levi's.

 

The Niners playing at the Stick certainly had better players and coaches by comparison to today’s team.

Bill Walsh’s West Coast Offense was great but Chuck Studley and George Seifert’s defenses were equally as great and were a joy to watch.

Ronnie Lott , Carlton Williamson, Fred Dean , Hacksaw Reynolds , Keena Turner , Charles Haley to name a few were awesome in those years.

 

I once saw Willy Mays play at the Stick. I saw a lot of baseball games there! And a few Niners games.

I’ve been to a lot of stadia. I liked Buck Shaw better than PayPal. It was too small of course, but the fans were much closer to the pitch. Weidner Field in Colorado Spring is really cool too. PayPal, not so much.

Go Quakesfans!!

 

My best memories of watching the Quakes -Clash -Quakes games were and remain all at Spartan.

It was an old relic with bathrooms that were horrible but it was an awesome place to watch a game.

I miss it but PPP isn’t a bad place to watch a game either.

Bringing it back to the thread , the bottom line is , we don’t need a new stadium , we need Fisher to sell the team to a new owner who is willing to spend money and buy better players.

 

The 2 coaches who came after Walsh were lucky enough to inherit a system and players a monkey could have coached and won with, after most of those people were gone not so much.

 

Walsh gets a lot of credit for his offenses but Siefert built the defenses in the 1990's when Bill had been long gone.

He deserves some credit too.

My main point was or is though, the game is about the players not the new or old stadiums because that is what fans care mostly about.

Truth!

 

Curious if that will continue after Messi retires?

 

Magic 8ball says: No F@#ing Way!

They are selling tons of Messi kits right now, and lots of season tickets. They won't fall off all the way to where they were before he joined, but they'll take a hit when he retires.

GO Quakesfans!!
F@#$ Miami!!

 

Moral of the story: you have to spend money to make money. Since that’s anathema to Fisher it doesn’t apply here…

 

So we need to get rid of RottenFish? Is that your analysis?

OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!
I mean that metaphorically.

Go Quakesfans!!

 

Well, as the saying goes: a fish rots from the head!
