Bad Things Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Cheers for that. This will not be run like a government bid. The trust will be free to negotiate with any or all the bidders trying to get the max value and best terms.
A Dog Named Kelso Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 So technically they are ready for potential bidders to sign an NDA ... then after that they can look at the valuation done on the teams financials, then decide to make a bid. Do all bidders have to sign an NDA before any one gets to do a once over or do we think its a first come first serve thing?

YoloinOhio Posted June 30, 2014 Author Posted June 30, 2014 For those waiting on insight from #roadsodas: Kevin Massare @KevinMassare · 19h According to a source, "all bidders are Expected to submit bids with a long term plan for the Buffalo area only." Kevin Massare @KevinMassare · 19h More - "Bids with relocation will not be taken seriously". Kevin Massare @KevinMassare · 19h "We expect to have 3 solid offers from WNY owners. Most have already been mentioned". Kevin Massare @KevinMassare · 19h "all parties have had ample time to sign and return NDAs, we expect bids very shortly". Kevin Massare @KevinMassare · 19h "We would be surprised if someone who knew the Buffalo sports landscape didn't win the bid". Kevin Massare @KevinMassare · 19h "Ralph Wilson made it VERY clear to everyone in the estate, that moving the team would never be an option. It would taint his legacy". Kevin Massare @KevinMassare · 19h "We involved with the deal wish the fans could be as comfortable and confident as we are, however this is just how the process goes" His source is supposedly a kid of Littman, who is on the 4-person committee.

If this is true then Ralph really had a plan all along. That is some great news.
May Day 10 Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Yes. Although Im skeptical that Kevin Massare has the most and only intimate knowledge of the situation.... if true that would be great
RuntheDamnBall Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 His source is supposedly a kid of Littman, who is on the 4-person committee. I'm skeptical if only due to this. Why would Littman just be spilling the beans about this highly sensitive scenario to his kid, and furthermore, why would his kid go to anyone media-related about it? What's the advantage for anyone from the trust to leak?

Canadian Bills Fan Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 I can never get tired about reading that the Bills will stay in Buffalo CBF
Thurmal34 Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Kevin Massare @KevinMassare · 19h "We expect to have 3 solid offers from WNY owners. Most have already been mentioned". Golisano and Pegula we know about...I wonder who the third is.
purple haze Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) I'm skeptical if only due to this. Why would Littman just be spilling the beans about this highly sensitive scenario to his kid, and furthermore, why would his kid go to anyone media-related about it? What's the advantage for anyone from the trust to leak? Info isn't released in a vaccum. It's probably done so they can give fans the opportunity to stop worrying about the intentions of the trust without an official member of the trust being on the record and hurting potential bids. Same as media reporting information "off the record" from a "source". I wonder this same thing every time he posts anything. However, most of it turns out to be true. A lot of his info does turn out to be true. And in this case, if the trust wanted to prepare fans for the worst that would be coming through leaked info too. I've said it before, I think we can stop worrying. I said a couple years ago, Mr. Wilson's legacy is tied up in the Bills being the Buffalo Bills. He won't leave the area hangin'. His heirs will be beyond wealthy whatever bidder they would theoretically sell too. So why not a WNY owner? Edited June 30, 2014 by purple haze
May Day 10 Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 So Massare has a good track record with these things?
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Between the name on the building and the Segways, that is a remarkable amount of smugness in that picture. Add a Prius and an iPhone, and that picture would reach critical mass. @hsimon62 as per @dkaplanSBJ, he predicts sale price for #Bills will be $1.2 or $1.3 billion since financial for NFL continue to improve That may turn out to be the best return on a 25,000 dollar investment in history. Wow.
The Wiz Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Golisano and Pegula we know about...I wonder who the third is. Good question. Could it be Jacobs son?
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Yes. Although Im skeptical that Kevin Massare has the most and only intimate knowledge of the situation.... if true that would be great Isn't he the kid with a neckbeard and a road soda?
GA BILLS FAN Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) My question is this, if the bidders all know these rules, why wouldn't the trustees make them public ? There clearly wouldn't be any damage to the bidding process. That's what doesn't make any sense. Edited June 30, 2014 by TXBILLSFAN

There clearly wouldn't be any damage to the bidding process. That's what doesn't make any sense. I could only guess that it would be private/protected information that the NFL doesn't want made public during the bidding. Just a guess thought. Not sure how much of a role they play in the sale of the team by the trust.
