It's the same reason people ran Lerner out of town, and now we're stuck with Haslam and his jackass, interfering self.
Nobody ran Randy Lerner out of town. I doubt he ever wanted to own the Browns anyway, the franchise got thrown into his lap when his father passed away. It was pretty obvious that Aston Villa was a lot closer to his heart than the Browns were just by virtue of the fact that he actually showed up at Aston Villa's matches.
As for the Dolans, the budget restraints never bothered me. That's the way they have to do business in this sport and in this market. I give them a lot of credit for running a first-class organization that treats its people well and never falls into the tabloid nonsense that has afflicted the Browns and to a certain extent the Cavaliers. As long as they continue to draft and develop well I have no issues with the money they do or don't spend.
