Bills Draw Another Interested Buyer.

[justasportsfan]

High-profile bond-fund manager Jeffrey Gundlach says he’s in the early stages of attempting to acquire the Buffalo Bills.

“I’m trying to put a group together to buy it,” he said Thursday, adding that he has floated the idea to several wealthy clients for whom he manages money. The discussions are in the early stages, he said. “Now, I’m thinking about thinking about it.”

Brought up in Buffalo, Gundlach was a star fund manager for Trust Co. of the West, or TCW, which he joined as a bond analyst in 1985. After an acrimonious split with TCW, Gundlach founded DoubleLine Capital, which is headquartered in Los Angeles

“It’s not an investment,” he said. “It’s because I love the Bills.”

I saw the brought up in Buffalo part, a local dude isn't gonna sell out the fanbase and take the team elsewhere because he knows what the team means to the city/region.

An out of towner who'll be able to put more bucks than local interests doesn't see or doesn't care about that or both.

Really didn't it say from buffalo and loves the bills...i doubt the guy would kill the fans by moving them espically if he is one....plus LA is a bad investment they have failed multiple times.

I wouldn't wager any guesses on the topic based on a two paragraph article.

I can tell you this, I'd much rather see this team in his hands than in the hands of Ed Roski. That is the name you should be concerned with. JMO

My guess is that it would be more of a sort of Terry Pegula thing. A hobby more than a way to make more money would be his reason for trying to purchase the team. I don't think the Bills would go anywhere if he did become the owner. But as the Cleveland Browns have taught us, you can never be too certain.

no i agree but just because of his location in LA doesn't mean he would move the team there.

a true bills fan wouldn't move the team....so if he is such a bills fan he wont move the team.

Re: Bills Draw Another Interested Buyer.

well, it's not a sure thing if he needs to get other investors. they'll want returns, etc. we need a pegula type guy who comes in by himself and does the right thing. an ownership grouop will be just as awful as a 90+ year old guy who simply doesn't care.
