Everyone expects Stan Kroenke to get LA over the Raiders. But if they approve that, and leave the Raiders out, it would be flatly against their own criteria for re-location. The Rams have the support in their own market, and a stadium plan in place. Same with the Chargers. It comes down to Kroenke simply wanting to move so he can profit and nothing more. The Raiders fit all the criteria, so Mark Davis would have a legitimate beef if he is denied.
Alternatively, if Stan Kroenke gets denied, he'll just take the league to court and he'll win.
Apparently raiders and chargers are staying put
Rename them the Californian Nomads?Regardless of what happens, all three teams are going to get their stadium situation sorted. What I can definitively say is that the Raiders will not be moving into Levi's on a permanent basis, and that they are not going to relocate to St. Louis. If LA falls through, they will explore alternative opportunities such as relocating to San Diego (currently the #1 alternative), relocating to San Antonio (a long shot), and staying in Oakland and trying to get something done for another year (the longest shot of all).
Heres another scenario....
The NFL ends up saying.....NO TEAM will move to LA in 2016, we'll think about it for another year. Just to try to again coerce Oakland, San Diego, St Louis to finalize new stadiums.
Levi's imoWhere does that leave us?.
This morning on 1360AM sports radio San Diego. The city is pushing for Spanos to get a deal done with Kroenke. It's going to be The Rams and Chargers in LA. It's what the city and what the NFL want.
Done deal.
Where does that leave us?.
Wouldn't be 20-12 = 32 votes. As the three owners in the mix wouldn't be voting. Max 29.This is incorrect. Simply put, there have been ZERO pushes from anyone at this stage to get Kroenke to negotiate with either Spanos or Davis to come on as a 2nd tenant. Such a move will only happen if and when there is a majority support for the Inglewood project. As it stands, if you polled all 32 owners, Carson is favoured. Whilst I don't have any official vote numbers, last I heard from a source the count was 20-12.

AgreedI'd really hate to see any team bar the Rams go to LA. They are the only team that would feel like LA's team. The others would feel out of place.
