Re: Donald Trump doubts he'll get the Bills
"But many other people will be bidding, and I would say the chances are very, very unlikely because, you know, I’m not going to do something totally stupid."
Sounds to me as if he's saying that purely as a business investment it's not a great deal. Who can argue that.

Re: Donald Trump doubts he'll get the Bills
I think he's saying that the number of bids will drive the price up and he's not going to pay $400mm over assessed value for a football team with no stadium in a smaller (by NFL standards anyway), economically struggling city.Originally posted by Fletch View PostComment

Re: Donald Trump doubts he'll get the Bills
Pretty much a little detail on my response. Business decisions are typically made with how much money can be made in mind, usually in terms of percentage of the investment annually. Clearly owning an NFL team is not purely a business decision depending upon who the owner is. I'm thinking that Trump is looking at it mostly from a business sense.Originally posted by OpIv37 View Post
Making this less than appealing is the fact that any new owner is likely looking at footing the vast majority if not all of the building of a new stadium all by himself. For sure the state or county isn't going to commit to helping prior to the team being sold, so the transaction has to be approached as such.
The whole thing should be interesting as it unfolds over the next many weeks. Obviously we're all hoping that the trust has some lattitude to choose whomever they think will keep the team around, but I'm just not sold that it does. We'll see soon here.http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/sho...s-haters/page3

Re: Donald Trump doubts he'll get the Bills
Not surprised but it still makes me very, very happy to hear. It was always a publicity ploy for him. He doesn't have the liquidity to make a serious bid and he's always known that.According to Donald Trump, the chances that he becomes the next Bills owner are "very, very unlikely."Comment

Re: Donald Trump doubts he'll get the Bills
He strikes me like an owner that would actually care about winning though. I'm not a huge hockey fan anymore, but from the sounds of it there's some question whether Pegula would care about winning or more about keeping friends in the front office like Wilson's done. Slam me if you want, but I'll take an owner that cares about winning no matter who he is, unless he's a complete dirt bag, and Trump doesn't seem like a complete dirt bag, over one that won't any day.Originally posted by Bill Cody View Posthttp://www.billszone.com/fanzone/sho...s-haters/page3

Re: Donald Trump doubts he'll get the Bills
very surprised that we haven't heard Bob Rich Jr's name come up about buying the Bills...rumor was he's always wanted the Bills even when Ralph Wilson was alive
http://www.bizjournals.com/buffalo/n....html?page=allRobert Rich Jr. is a billionaire with deep personal and professional ties to the Buffalo area, where the food company founded by his father brought in more than $3 billion in 2011, according to reports.
That puts the 73-year-old on the short-list of regionally-connected people who could help keep the Bills in Buffalo now that Wilson has died.
Rich, who lives in Islamorada, Fla., declined to comment through a spokeswoman for this story.
Rich Products Corp. was founded by Robert Rich Sr. in 1945, and is now Buffalo’s largest, privately-held company. The Bills stadium for years bore the name Rich Stadium, now Ralph Wilson stadium, though Rich Jr. wrote in a 2011 book, “The Right Angle,” about the strained relationship between his father and Wilson concerning the naming rights.
Rich also spent nine years trying to bring a Major League Baseball team to Buffalo, at one point nearly purchasing the San Francisco Giants. He owns the Buffalo Bisons, a Triple A baseball team that plays downtown at city-owned Coca-Cola, and two other minor league teams.
Forbes estimated Rich’s personal net worth at $2.4 billion in September in 2012, up from $2.1 billion the year before and making him the 190th richest man in America.
