It's not an obstacle. The SKC group would be one of the wealthiest ownership groups in baseball, and they have the bonus of having already proven their ability to succeed by hiring quality people and building a first-rate organization. It's not like they're succeeding in MLS by being the Yankees of MLS.
Illig and Patterson each have a net worth around $3 billion and are major players in Cerner, a compnay that is going to going to continue to make them richer and richer.
OnGoal is not a group that banded together because it needed to financially. It's a group that banded together because it WANTED to (those guys are all pals).
If they owned both the Royals and SKC, they'd do all sorts of cross-promotion things (Shared ticket packages, etc).
