Originally posted by X-Era View PostThis is my point. It could be that Mary as sole owner can pick and choose who she sells the team to. It's her to do with as she sees fit.

Originally posted by WagonCircler View PostWhich is great news, because that means she is not obligated to choose the highest bidder. If Jon Bon Jovi (for example), who would move the team, bids $900 MIL and Jeremy Jacobs (again, for example), who would keep the team here, bids $895 MIL, a trust would have no choice but to choose the $900 MIL. Mary Wilson, on the other hand, could choose the lower bid.

Re: Mary Wilson has been announced as controlling owner of Bills.
So the idea is that Mary Wilson who does not want to own the team (according to Ralph) is soooooooo thankful to the residents of Buffalo that she will take less money to sell to a local owner?
OK.
Chicken wings are great.

Makes a ton of sense.
Because Mary Wilson is clearly all about the money and doesn't care about the long list of people she would piss off with that move.
In fact, she was the one by his side when he died... Maybe that money grubbing ***** helped him along.Last edited by X-Era; 04-03-2014, 03:04 PM.

Please prove to me that she plans to scorn all of the glut of people very close to Ralph (but apparently not her) publicly wanting the Bills to stay in Buffalo.Last edited by X-Era; 04-03-2014, 03:24 PM.

Originally posted by X-Era View PostNo. The idea is that the wife of a man who would never move the team until he died will now going against her husbands wishes, all of her close friends on the Bills, from the Bills, and that she has developed relationships with associated to the Bills and take the top dollar so that the team can move.

She's not the sometimes-typical trophy wife that the tax laws force old coots to marry bimbos. I think Ralph correctly smelled the government tax grab potential and acted accordingly, and along the way took steps to keep the team in WNY.Fiat justitia ruat caelum. Noli timere. Laus Deo.

Mike Schopp @Schopptalk Seems Mary Wilson, wife of the late Ralph Wilson, becomes controlling owner of the Bills. The trustees will commence working toward a sale.
Mike Schopp @Schopptalk 17m Potential candidates to buy the Bills will be vetted in the coming months, with a sale perhaps being consummated in about a year.

This article should help clear up what this announcement means... It's a formality.
