Fixing the Rangers From the Top

Our friend The Dark Ranger wrote an interesting piece at his site called "Stopping the Clown Parade at Cablevision" in which he reports on a Wall Street Journal piece calling for James Dolan to step down as CEO of Cablevision. The bad news in that piece is that if Dolan did in fact do that then he would just run Madison Square Garden.

The thought of James Dolan as an active owner involved with the New York Rangers just might be the worst possible nightmare for Ranger fans. It is already bad enough that Dolan who claims to know nothing about hockey leaves Glen Sather to do as he pleases but given what Ranger fans have seen from what Dolan has done for the Knicks then thank you very much but please stay away James Dolan.

Still it did get me to thinking about how I would run the Rangers if I had the chance and it is a tad more complicated than just firing Glen Sather. When I look at the Rangers I see a headless monster because there is no oversight over Glen Sather that would realize there were problems unless it came with a sea of red ink.
