The Toronto Sun just reported today that Bon Jovi is still a part of the Toronto group & that their bid is for $1.2 Billion which they are pessimistic will be enough.
Trump & Golisono are said to still be in the bidding as is Pegula who is expected to win.
EJ's fault
Oh no!...We suck again!

That's not the point of this post - it was - what happens if nobody buys the Bills? What if this trust we hear so much about can't find a buyer at a price they like?
What happens then?
They sell at a price they don't like.
And you said the value of the Bills is falling when reports are it is higher than Forbes had said.

I'm pretty sure they will have to sell, or there will be eventual tax implications that they can't cover. They're between a rock and a hard place.
From my understanding, had Ralph left the team to Mary Wilson, the tax consequences would have been different, but that's not what he did.
They have been on the market for months. Months. Yet no sale, no firm offer.
Not surprising...Congressmen holding hearings to make political hay about concussions, drugs, chirping about domestic violence now. A community taxed to death already, with a minority wanting to stick it to the other taxpayers for a new stadium, so they can have them pay for their yucks, even though those same will scream bloody murder about PSL costs if a new stadium happens. A city that has been under one party control for over a half a century, and will never change.
Ralph and the contract with the county nailed the team to the floorboards for 7 years to WNY. So there is no incentive to win.
The Bills don't seem to be an attractive asset.
And given the long-standing political machine in Bflo, it's a town that outside capital avoids.

Has anyone been ALLOWED to make a firm offer? The sellers are driving the time table, not the buyers.
"'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'. Oh yeah, 'Don't drive on the railroad track.'"
"Eh, Phil. That's one I happen to agree with."

It's an odd thing, Mike. An NFL that likes to zip things along, makes efforts to insure stability within their business, yet here we are.

Don't be so dramatic, good God. Binding bids are due by the end of this week so you are wrong on firm offers as they aren't due yet. I firmly believe that Pegula will end up with the team. If the bids are close I think the trust will go back to Pegula and advise him to raise his bid in the interest of keeping the team in B-Lo.

It is NOT up to the NFL, it is up to the trust Ralph set up to sell the team.
The NFL's only role is to approve the sale to the new owner.
I think Spiked or Fletch hijacked StuckinCincys account.
He is not usually this obtuse.
in corporate america, the time between an announced deal and the completion of an acquisition can take 6M to 1Y. Ralph died in March. The general information is that the bills are well within the timelines of what was initially proposed. I don't think this is a likely scenario.
The timeline seems to be really fast if nothing else.just because we want a new owner that will fire brandon doesn't mean that this is taking a long time from a real world perspective.

He is half a troll.

Let's do a public stock offer like the Packers to insure that they never move!
Three weeks ago they were due by Labor Day Weekend according to reports.
So I don't think anyone's being dramatic. If anything this whole thing is being handled like a circus.
It's going to be very interesting after the sale to get some more info as to what the issues were.

The idea that you "won't settle" presumes that you have some kind of control. Delusional thinking at best for a supposed fan of a spectators' sport. Your way to deal with it is to constantly ***** and denigrate any move, any result concerning the team even if it's positive because you don't want your whittle feewings hurt again. It's a protection mechanism.
You shroud your childish approach in a vale of pompous, intellectual garbage in an attempt to look smart and "real". You over-analyze even minute points and manipulate statistics to fit your negative view of the team. Again, to feel good about yourself and to protect from getting hurt.
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.
"I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said Thursday on NFL Network's Total Access. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board."
"We are committed. I want you to believe me when I say that," Whaley said of building around the second-year quarterback, per The Buffalo News. "I always tell you guys that I'll never say never because I don't want to paint myself in a corner, but when I do say something, I do it and I mean it and I try to fulfill it."
"We believe the addition of Sammy is going to be instant impact, not only to our quarterback, but to what our offensive coordinator can come up with game-plan wise and how defenses attack us," Whaley said.
Whaley on EJ Manuel: "We think we got a gem in this guy." (2:30)
"And as Mark says, if in three years maybe he's not [our quarterback of the future], then I'll be sitting there saying 'hey guys', .... anybody got a job for me?" - Doug Whaley
We're one in the same. Sorry, it gets confusing changing between monikers. You forgot Coastal. I ..., or we, are him too.
Why is it always the out of state idiots that keep bringing up negative **** about the sale process of the Buffalo Bills. **** off. EAD.

You do realize that this is like asking, "What if nobody goes to McDonald's tomorrow?"
Somebody is going the buy the burger like the sun will rise tomorrow.
It was pushed back a week so the CHEAP RAT BASTARDS in Toronto could resubmit their bid.
Just 6 more days & the final bids will have to be in.
