It has to be a scandal. He would have to be forced out.

We need every racist video. Every instance of workplace abuse. We need the entire Valley to whip out their 4k smartphones.

We already know the stories of him being an A-Hole. It has to be there somewhere.

Let me answer your question with another question. You are the owner of a business. It has a monopoly in its market and zero threat of competition. It is immensely profitable and keeps you fabulously wealthy. It has no pressure to succeed or has any consequences for failure. Are you selling this business?

I'd have to think, since it's a family business, the NFL would more likely allow (with Mikey's blessing) a transfer to a sibling or grandchild of Bill.

Teams only get sold when there’s legal issues, league pressure or family drama:

Need to stop giving money. League can maybe push him out for being bad for business. Likely only chance. Mostly impossible really. Otherwise banking on some scandal.

Let me answer your question with another question. You are the owner of a century-old multi-generational business. It has a monopoly in its market and zero threat of competition. It is immensely profitable and keeps you famous locally while also fabulously wealthy. It has no pressure to succeed or has any consequences for failure. It is the oldest franchise in the nations most prestigious sports league. Are you selling this business?
Although I agree...... You forgot to add some words or phrases.

Sadly the league's revenue sharing makes this pretty impossible. And the the other league owners really have no need to do anything since they are also rolling in money while taking the easy wins for their teams the weeks they play us.

Would take a statewide boycot from fans, govt, media. No tickets, merchandise, coverage etc. It’s not possible.

I bought merch this year. Been years since I have. I fell for the banana in the tailpipe.

I'll settle for ALL fans to have Fire (Yourself) Bidwill signs at every game. Or whatever equivalent.

The NFL likes Bidwill. They don't care that the Cardinals have a good season once a decade. The way he hustled to set up the Rams for the playoffs last year, the way he keeps getting Super Bowls.... And they really don't care about Cards fans fee-fees.

He is going nowhere.

This is accurate. If MB and the other siblings just wanted to just be your normal run-of-the-mill billionaires they’d have sold the team already. Other than the whacky brother down in Key West the rest of them love walking into Paradise Valley CC or Steak 44 and people knowing they own the Cardinals. They lose that and they’re just another rich guy/gal in town.

MB specifically is really ambitious although he’s not that smart and people don’t like him so isn’t getting done the legacy projects that he wants. What he fails to realize of course is that people don’t like to work with losers and his plans are often foiled because of the bumbling football team he runs.

I met him once at Sun Devil Stadium and he actually talked to me for several minutes. I truly felt like he wants to win. I didn't think it was an act. Apparently, he just has no clue how to do so. He truly thought Keim could do it. Then, he really thought he had it with Keim and KK. And, he thought he had it with Monti and Gannon and he's back to square one.

But I think a lot of his failure is on him and not just picking the wrong employees. It's the most conservative management of the cap in the NFL. Sure, unlike his old man he does lay out big money for stars. But when he does so there is always a follow up of "well, we need to hold a lot of cap space now". Which leads to things like sitting on a bunch of dough even though just about any other franchise would've looked at our WR and oline going into this season and saying "we got to upgrade"
