Confirmed with Link: Senators are for sale - and it’s a Gong Show

[Gil Gunderson]

Five more days until the final bid deadline. Are we going to hear more about Sparks' consortium?

Hey they're still passing around the pledge sheets at the OCTranspo bus stations. Still lots of time left to get local investors on board.

Or until they change the date again.

[Mingus Dew]

Damn. That sucks.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Hey, maybe things would have been different if they didn't take a decade to move along with this process.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

False prophet

 

[Senator Stanley]

Just brutal.

I guess if they sell for $1 billion the process worked, but what a f***ing circus they've turned this into.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I'm guessing Galatioto f***ed up. Most of the bidders aren't happy with how they've prolonged the process.

 

[Flamingo]

Hope the winning bidder doesn’t have to recoup the high sticker price by squeezing more return before investing in the team.

 

[HSF]

i guess it was too good to be true

maybe another group takes him on

 

[Emerica]

Well f***. Andlauer it is

 

[Senscore]

Should have been a f***ing tap in.

 

[Oscar The Grouch]

He wanted an exclusive window to finalize the deal and the Sens said no. What does that even mean?

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Well f***. Andlauer it is

Bruce (yeah, i know) hinted that Andlauer could join Reynolds/Remington if things didn't work for him. It's a longshot but maybe vice versa could happen...?

I don't see why Reynolds/Bratty would take themselves out of the bidding in this way, only to join another bid. This was a "then f*** it, we're walking" move.

Neeko Sparks 1, Ryan Reynolds 0

Funny how everyone got the "fake bid" wrong.

Maybe Remington pulled out?

Either way, the Sens/GSP f***ed this up big time. This should have been done a month ago, but we're still waiting for final bids.

 

[JungleBeat]

LOL. All the posters in here who had an extremely weird man crush on Reynolds must be heart broken. You really thought “VancityReynolds” really cared about Ottawa?

Get a grip guys. Just hope for an extremely rich owner. The Weeknd & RR would be a bonus but some of the discourse here has been ridiculous.

 

[IpsoPostFacto]

 

[Oscar The Grouch]

Also, it's a negotiation ploy. Power move to force the Sens to play by Reynolds/Remington's terms. They want to be preferred bidder. They'll be back at the table.

Why would a fake bid bail out when they don't intend to ever follow up on it anyway?

Yup. Doesn't mean shit.

I wouldn't trust any news until the deal is done.

That's Hollywood Mogul Neko Sparks. Get it right.

With the way it's spilled out into the public, I'd be very surprised if the parties came back together. Once people walk, it's often a matter of principle.
