Re: As many as 8 bidders?
If 5 more have shown interest after the initial non-binding stage, I'm not thinking Pegula is going to be able to adjust his bid down.YardRat Wall of Fame

Re: As many as 8 bidders?
I am not believing this.
The way Morgan Stanley has behaved by extending deadlines and allowing rebids is not consistent with there being 8 bidders.Comment

Re: As many as 8 bidders?
I think spike is right. This is a ploy to keep the price up. I could see 1 maybe two secret bidders. There's now way nothing would of leaked about 5 bidders.Comment

Re: As many as 8 bidders?
they did. The committee was very excited to see your bid financed entirely on your 401k and second home loan and eventual reverse mortgage. you are making this very hard to make a decision.Originally posted by Mr. Miyagi View PostComment

Re: As many as 8 bidders?
It is consistent if the goal is to do everything possible to try to get a bidding war going with as many parties as possible. Remember even after the binding bids the bids are open which means the trust can still cry for more money from the leaders like at an auction. It was all part of Ralph's master plan to keep the Bills in Buffalo at all costs.Originally posted by SpikedLemonade View PostComment

Re: As many as 8 bidders?
I would not be at all surprised if there are serious bidders who did not participate in the initial bidding. That would be very typical...Comment

Re: As many as 8 bidders?
Who knows what to believe anymore. Everything we've heard is speculation and has turned out to be wrong. The bids cited aren't correct, deadlines don't really matter (then why have them), JBJ's group is out of it, the trust may be obligated to sell to the highest bidder, the trust has the authority to not sell to the highest bidder, etc.Originally posted by SpikedLemonade View Post
This truly has become a media circus. How fitting. Yeah, thanks Ralph. One wrong turn here and Buffalo's going to become twice the joke that it's become in NFL circles. Why do I now see this process being dragged out due to lawsuits and the like.
It's not worth believing anything relating to this anymore until they come out with hard facts on who bought the team, or at least who's bid has been accepted per league owners' approval.http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/sho...s-haters/page3

Of course, the criticisms are obviously from someone who has no understanding of the team concept or what it takes to excel at athletics.
The true "realist" understands that they have no control of what happens on the field or behind the closed doors at One Bills' Drive, so they do the prudent thing for a spectator. They enjoy the games on Sunday with family and friends, cheer for their team and realize that it's just entertainment.

Re: As many as 8 bidders?
What we do know is the Toronto group had to give better assurances they would not move the team so whoever does bid will have to do the same & be prepared to own the BUFFALO Bills.Comment

Re: As many as 8 bidders?
How is going after the highest bid consistent with trying to keep the team in Buffalo when there are numerous other markets which make more sense financially?Originally posted by Bill Cody View Post
Or were you being sarcastic?
If Ralph really cared about the team being here he'd have sold it to Pegula or Golisano.

What fool bidding group goes out and publicly does stadium studies outside of the region and then after the fact attempts to play it off to never wanting to move the team. Other bidders with a desire to move the team wont' be so foolish. I'm surprised that Tannenbaum and his group were dumb enough to do that.http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/sho...s-haters/page3
