The Council’s Finance Committee will hold its first hearing on the new resolution on Monday. But some council members have already made their feelings clear. At a full Council meeting last month, two members prominently displayed “Fire Isiah!” signs on the front panels of their desks. They might as well have read, “End the giveaway.”

I'm sure Cablevision can cover the tab
Alan Hahn: Nate Robinson has been on a ridonkulous scoring tear lately (remember when he couldn't hit Jerome James with a Big Mac in early January?)

I predict Knicks operational loses about 100 mils this year.
And it will go higher and higher.
How long are growing up kids holding on to expensive broken toys?

You get those statistics from somewhere other than your arse? They are still selling out the arena, still have their own network, and MSG accounts for 3% of the Cablevision empire. MSG is lunch money for Daddy Dolan and he's not even a fan, so he really doesn't care.

Cablevision officially reported 50 mil in operational loses form Knicks operation to share holders in last annual report.
They are getting money from Rangers and MSG entertainment unit to mostly cover the losses.
But with tax and deteriorating Knicks performance they will go minus this year for sure.
It's not a big deal for Cablevision as a whole... but this is not a business any more, just broken toy of Mr. Jimmy. Until he will have any interest in it.

I wish he worst upon Dolan. I hope he goes bankrupt.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.
