Kirby Jackson Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 only with JBJ's blessing. Ha ha, he should be the title sponsor (if he even has a million dollars).
Jauronimo Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 Last week, Tony Kornheiser had the guy who wrote that new Bills Super Bowl book on his radio show............They ended up talking about the sale for a bit and Tony said "I have a question. I thought you were not able to own another major team if you own an NFL team." I almost threw my iphone out the window.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 12 more days! CBF :thumbsup: I was thinking it was closer to 3 weeks away! is there a countdown clock on TBD?
Canadian Bills Fan Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) :thumbsup: I was thinking it was closer to 3 weeks away! is there a countdown clock on TBD? There should be lol I am so excited that he will be our active owener for this current season and not join in the offseason. Gives himself and Kim time to properly plan for the offseason and not just get thrown in the middle of it. Preperation is key and by taking over the Bills early in the season, the Pegula's will have lots of time to prep. CBF Edited September 26, 2014 by Canadian Bills Fan
BuffaloBill Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 I am releasing this thread from being pinned due to diminishing activity. If interest picks up again a mod may re-pin or another similar thread.
LabattBlue Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 All I ask from Pegula is to make the last 14 years disappear from memory. Marrone, Hackett, Manuel & to some extent Whaley will make his decision to clean house, an easy one.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 @TomPreciousALB New Forbes' 400 Wealthiest Americans list out: Soon-to-be Bills owner Terry Pegula ($4.6 billion) comes in at #109. #Bills
Canadian Bills Fan Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 The one thing I cling to hope on is this..... After shelling out $1.4 Billion, there is no was the Pegula's will accept this type of play CBF

Bangarang Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 I don't follow the Sabres as closely as others here do. Do you guys think Pegula will want to see another year before making moves? He will have been the official owner for 11 games this year.Do you think that would be enough for him and his staff to evaluate and make decisions?

He will have been the official owner for 11 games this year.Do you think that would be enough for him and his staff to evaluate and make decisions? Since he's coming in as owner this early in the season, I believe this will be "their year" to impress him. If they continue down the path of the last two games, no chance Pegula brings them back. Remember, his wife Kim is a HUGE fan of the Bills, which means she's been watching the same crap we have for the last 14 years. You don't think she's itching to fix things for the better?
Fadingpain Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Pegula is going to have a ton of tough decisions to make relatively quickly, and he is not equipped to make them on his own. Who does he bring in as his right hand and main consultant (or consultants) to give him guidance or to provide assurance that Pegula's ideas are either good or bad? Who will the Bills' version of Patty LaFontaine be? I find this to be the most interesting question regarding the new ownership at this time. Whoever Pegula takes his advice from could get us back into the playoffs quickly , or guarantee we go nowhere for 5 years. I hope Pegula chooses his advisors wisely. Any thoughts on the brain trust Pegula might compile? Will Jim Kelly be brought in to discuss EJ and other QB options?

I think this is a tough thing to judge. Pegula may feel like he was burned with his "wait and see" approach with the Sabres, so he will change it now with the Bills. Then again, even if it didn't work out well with the Sabres, he may still feel like this is the proper, fair way to go about business. I really don't know.

I'm optimistic that Kim and Terry come in and clean house with the front office and coaching staff. However, didn't he buy the Sabres and give Ruff and Regier another full year? I don't know the circumstances surrounding that decision so I was hoping to get some incite from people with more knowledge on how he managed the team his first year. I fear that Brandon will be kept and he'll try and sell us on the same nonsense. Make no mistake, I don't mind if Brandon keeps his current position with the organization but I do want accountability and for there to be change if it is warranted.

I don't know the circumstances surrounding that decision so I was hoping to get some incite from people with more knowledge on how he managed the team his first year. Basically he spoke to NHL industry "experts" and they all vouched for Ruff and Regier. Face it, they did have a history of pretty good results over tumultuous ownership issues. The water was muddy. Pair that with the team absolutely catching on fire the Spring he bought the team and the status quo looked acceptable. I would think he is speaking to people in and out of the NFL and getting a pretty good body of advice on how to proceed. Edited September 29, 2014 by May Day 10
