CodeMonkey Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) Quote Those who have expressed an intention to bid on the Bills, and perhaps others as identified by the Bills’ investment banker Morgan Stanley, on Wednesday received a seven-page non-disclosure agreement (NDA), the source said.Such bidders must sign the NDA in order to receive the “offering memorandum,” or sale book. So much for The Donald. He can't keep his mouth shut But I'm really glad they are moving this right along. The sooner there is a new owner the better. Edited June 19, 2014 by CodeMonkey

Bad mojo, man Someone in the Tanenbaum group likely told him. It will be interesting to see if the guy's "sources" dry up one the NDA goes into effect...

I'm pretty sure all the names I have heard would be able to do this. Willing is another story. Pegula could buy the whole dam thing in cash.

I don't have the cash just yet, but I do have a letter stating that I might already be a winner. In an unrelated question, anybody want to subscribe to Accounting Monthly?

montanafan Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 I buy and sell businesses for clients and do mergers and acquisition work. The non-disclosure agreement should effectively put a gag order on the details of the bidding process, as I am sure the parties do want the details of their offers out for public exposure. Guess we'll see if this is the case.

They just dont want the actual books to be released to the general public (or NFLPA hands)

I wonder if after the fact info will be revealed on who bid and what the bids were. i doubt it will and it will be maddening to some wondering what their favorite potential owner bid

Damn. I'm out. On 6/19/2014 at 4:22 PM, Peter said: Absolutely. Terry Pegula would be the dream owner for the Bills. Yet, the Buffalo News likes to throw darts at him. The News has absolutely no credibility when it comes to Terry and Kim Pegula. They are the best thing to happen to Buffalo since the Pan American Exposition. McKinley might even say better.
Fingon Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Cash is king to the NFL. That's why Pegula has a leg up on everyone else. I don't think we've heard of any other prospective bidders selling assets.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Anyone think the winning bidder will be leaked before the NFL owners vote? CBF
