i'm afraid this thing is gonna turn into a real cluster before it's all said and done. . . it truly sucks, but it does seem like none of pat's kids are really qualified-- which is why we have the trust in the first place. . . if none of them step up, i wonder how long the league will allow the trust to run the team without pressuring them to sell. . . i'm a little conflicted-- emotion suggests that the team is best served remaining in the bowlen family, but who knows if one of the kids would treat it the way mr. B did?
As long as Mr. Bowlen is alive, the trust is viable to manage the team.
What we have to worry about is what happens after his death. The NFL won't pressure any decision prior to that, but after his death I think things will move more quickly. On the plus side (for us fans), he might live with alzheimer's for many more years if otherwise healthy.
Does anybody else find that the fact Joe Ellis was put into the position to pick his future boss disturbing? Pat has been one of the best owners in ANY sports. Period. However, this seems like it was a situation set up to fail. Especially considering that there are two separate families (mothers at least) vying for control of ownership. Now that Pat's brother has come out on Beth's side, this is inevitably going to turn into a lawsuit or the franchise being sold outside of the Bowlens.
Actually, he set them in charge to find a suitable owner. It was made clear that being one of Pat's kids doesn't automatically qualify, meaning, if none of the kids step up, the trustees have the option to sell the team.
They aren't simply holding it for one of the kids, though the kids would be the ideal choice.
The league actually seems very content with the situation. They've given their support for Joe Ellis in several occasions and they basically renewed his contact as a temporary stand in for an owner for five years.
There really isn't anything indicating that the league is frustrated with the current situation.
Until Mr. Bowlen passes away, there's nothing to worry about.
While he is still alive, even if incapacitated, taking the franchise away from him would be unthinkable. The rest of the owner's aren't going to sign on to that for very obvious reasons.
When he passes there will be more pressure, but until then, there is no deadline to worry about imo.
rest - https://www.9news.com/article/sports...a/73-560656775KUSA – It’s not easy cutting through the melodrama that has unfolded between Pat Bowlen’s daughter Beth Bowlen Wallace and those in charge of the Pat Bowlen Trust.
But there is one black-and-white issue that is at the center of this disagreement: Has Bowlen Wallace met the criteria that qualifies her to become controlling owner of the Denver Broncos, as she claims?
Or has she so far fallen short of meeting the criteria, as the Trust stated in a strongly worded response to her press release announcing her intent Thursday?

I have some real problems with her. If she truly has done everything that is required to be controlling owner, why did she hire a public affairs firm to make her announcement? Was that to see how the public would react? Why did she just not sit down with the three trustees and discuss it? If true, it was stated that a couple other kids have expressed interest also. Obviously they did it the right way, rather than making a Broadway Production out of it.
