Chandler#81 Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 With the initial Bid due date past, it appears the Pegula's, JBJ & Co. and the Donald are front runners. Our previous thread is at 54 pages and running, so this one will pick up from today and go forward. Hoping our new owner is announced at the October Owners mtg.
K D Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 so where should we put the statue of El Pegual? this guy has basically saved a whole city, it's the least we can do
BigBuff423 Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 I realize the "official" release of who the new owner will have to wait, but couldn't the Wilson estate announce whose bid they have accepted and forwarded to the NFL?? That, would help immensely in relieving some of the pressure to find out the fate of the BILLS. In that, if in fact it were Pegula, I would rest easier knowing the first major hurdle was overcome and the last was to be approved by the NFL...if I / we have to wait until October to find out both of those facts, it's going to be a long couple of months and much, much, much more conjecture...which, I'm already sick of...ughh!
mrags Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 I really don't understand how JBJ can even be in the bid process considering his group is out of Toronto and they have been open about looking at Toronto sites. I thought the lease stated anyone looking to relocate would not be accepted. I'm sure this was talked about in the other thread but I'll be damned if I'm gonna sift through 54 pages to find the answer.

I 2nd the motion. The uncertainty is nerve wracking!
Cleveland Rocks? Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 It is the beginning of a new era for your team!

It in no way reflects JBJ's official position on relocation. Although I'm sure we can all guess what it is.

Maybe you could add to the subject "Jury is out Day 1" and update the number every day
Canadian Bills Fan Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Just thought of something and maybe its nothing but even if the JBJ group won the bid, they would still have to pay the $400M to move the team. Or if they waited for the buyout, they would still have to pay a relocation fee and anywhere between $800M-$1.5B for a new statium. They wouldnt be able to afford all of that would they if they got the team for say $1.5B? CBF
May Day 10 Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 so do we have to start over again? RIP Mr Wilson!

They wouldnt be able to afford all of that would they if they got the team for say $1.5B? CBF they would not pay the relocation fee, they would wait out the lease. between Rogers and Tannenbaum they are pretty wealthy. JBJ is the one holding them back imo. also, Rogers has the money but he has to get the ok from his family to use it. it just sounds like a big mess and 1 guy with cash like Pegula should be the obvious favorite

I bet it will leak. I am certain it will. Look at it this way: Since Mr Wilson's passing, we are well more than halfway to those owner's meetings.

I get the feeling it will be leaked when they pick the winner. We found out both bids within 24 hours when it was non disclosed.
G-Daddy Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 How long until TPegs commissions a statue of Kelly, Thurman, Bruce, Reed and Ralph at OBD??

FluffHead Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 So, we are saying Mr Ags should stay? Let's put it to a vote
Kipers Hair Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) Make no mistake - the "leaks" we are hearing are well placed...It vets out the riff raff and news maker bids. As I understand, they have leaked out that Pegula's bid is a QTR Billion more than the JBJ Group. Unless they are willing to step up, this is basically over other than the ownership vote...
