According to multiple baseball sources, Giants’ managing general partner and chief executive officer Bill Neukom will not return in that role for the 2012 season. The sources say that Neukom has been asked to step aside by the Executive Committee of the Giants’ ownership group. The action is believed to be the fallout from a series of disagreements with the committee during Neukom’s three-year stewardship of the team.

Wait so they fire Neukom but not Sabean or Bochy? I guess we know who hold the power in this relationship…

and maybe Bochy's
also, I bet there are some angry partners for the sloppy accounting and how it was uncovered. For shit’s sakes, besides Zeets, Scott and “the Bookkeeper”, who knows who has been stealing them blind.

My wild theory
The rest of the ownership group did not like the fact that the payroll shot up to 120 million.

From the article:
Neukom’s own falling-out with the Giants’ executive committee, say the baseball sources, began over how to spend the additional millions that flowed into team coffers following the World Series championship. For example, one source says that beginning last October, the Giants’ merchandising revenue alone has increased by $1.5 million to $2 million per month over previous years. Ticket sales also boomed. The Giants have effectively sold out every game this season.
Neukom, it is said, believed that this was his money to spend as he saw fit — and he did so, to increase payroll and buy new technology for the baseball department, among other expenditures. Instead, the executive committee allegedly wanted the money to be put in a “rainy day fund” for use in leaner times. The committee also believed that Neukom needed the committee’s authorization before making such major financial decisions.

go to bed early during a tied game, wake up to a win (YAY DeRosa!)
miss a day game because of lol work, come home to a win (YAY Timmy, Beltran & Romo!)

Maybe. He said “multiple baseball sources.” I’ll wait for official confirmation.

because the partnership would have made him the CEO after Magowan had they wanted him to be there long-term.

what
is this conclusion based on? Neukom was there too. Maybe the people that voted for Neukom originally changed their minds, or he was a compromise candidate.

He was the lead guy who bought out Magowan
also Baer is a limited partner…so it’s unlikely that he will take the lead for long.

Baer
is listed as a principal partner.

Can Larry Baer be trusted?
I don’t see Sabes being in jeopardy if Larry is the managing general partner. He’ll keep things the same and kiss Bork and Sabe’s asses.

Why does everyone rag on Sabean
granted he has made some bad moves but this team is really good in large part to Sabean.
