Grant Wahl dropping a bombshell here: http://www.si.com/so...efa-concussions

 

While Marc de Grandpre, the club’s head of commercial operations, says the team is not for sale, one source says that if a buyer approached Red Bull and offered $300 million for the Red Bulls and their stadium, the deal would get done within 48 hours.

 

In fact, team and stadium sale talks were indeed held by Red Bull a couple years ago with a New Jersey-based investor group and then again with Manchester City before the club acquired its MLS expansion franchise along with the New York Yankees, but neither set of talks led anywhere.

 

Long story short: Don't look for Red Bull to be involved in MLS in the long-term future.

Alright, if we scrabble together our pennies...any chance we can come up with 300 million? :blink:

 

Who's secretly rich as hell and holding out on us?

Is there any in this rout with authority to treat with me? Or indeed with wit to understand me?

So, the new owner needs to be rich as fuck to compete with LA and NYCFC.

 

Finish the training center, pay for marketing, buy top notch DPs, and set up the USL Pro team.

 

aka do what the Galaxy does.

Wish they would sell sooner rather than later, but 300M seems like a hefty price by MLS standards no? Also, I'm glad they couldn't do anything w/ MCFC because being sister club to a Euro club is worse than being named after a soda company, imo. Would be nice if that local NJ group ponied up.

Think that they'd give the fans a hometown discount?

we've been beaten down enough for 20 years...soccer gods owe us one.

 

If we got local ownership that ran this club competently, I might cry out of sheer joy.

I'm pretty sure Grant mentioned the asking price includes cost of the team and the stadium. 

 

Don't know how that compares to the sales of other MLS teams in the past.

It's not too bad if you think about it. City paid $100m to get in, plus they're gonna have to pay to build a stadium and training grounds. $300m is a pretty fair deal for what it comes with.
