THE KIMELS ARE BACK IN AND THEY HAVE EVEN MORE MONEY

 

[IpsoPostFacto]

Nah Ryan Reynolds dropped out in order to secretly purchase the exclusive rights to film the behind the scenes of the sale behind GSP, who are now manipulating various media members to cause extraordinary mayhem.

Salter went to Carleton. stuff it haters!

 

[Gil Gunderson]

The Kimel group looks promising, but I almost want Mendes to be correct because I want this to end.

[StoicSensFan]

Just to add to the circus-like atmosphere, maybe the Kimels have merged with another which is why some have said there are now 3 groups instead of 4?

Lol. Reminds me of those street scams where the victim is out of money but then runs home to borrow some more from a distant relative.

Makes those non-binding bids in November feel like a waste of time no?

Reminds me of a basketball game--just need to watch the last 10 min.

God i hope this is the last 10 min of this process. We need to move on with this process and get some stability back with our team/brand

 

[Flamingo]

I wonder if this is dragging on because there's another evolving detail, the Lebreton development plan. So the Remington group didn't get a window to stall the bidding process to negotiate exclusively with the NCC. It's likely all groups have been talking with the NCC, and the picture is resolving to the point that the bidders can more confidently set their bidding price ceiling.

The sales process started in November, but non-binding bids didn't happen until March.

5mnths wasted no wonder its june and we're still waiting

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

Made it all of 3 hours. Oof.

Still wonder who these inside 'sources' could be. Ian's sure put a lot of faith in them through this whole process.

Not a good look Ian…not a good look…

Side note: I don’t recall mendes ever being involved in the ‘breaking news’ territory so this is uncharacteristic of him

 

[WORLDSTARHIPHOP]

lol I wonder who Ians sources are that gave him this L....

 

[Daffy]

Ian has taken a hit during this whole process in my opinion. Shockingly, Brucie has been more reliable.

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Nobody f***ing knows anymore, and the people in that bidding process don't know either because this shit is ran by monkeys.

Can't wait for the 30for30 doc on this.

To be fair, it could be a case of sources on the league side that know how the bids are ranked telling Mendes they just don't see Kimmel as having an acceptable bid rather than Kimmel dropping out. And since then, perhaps Kimmel found the new partner to get him back in the running.

Who knows, I just want this to end already.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Well if some of the reporting is to be believed that would have cost them a $50mm deposit.

Which is insane by the way - to have nonrefundable money up when the seller can continue to play the bids off against each other lol.

I think Ian is saying, Kimels are out, not because they dropped out, but bid rejected. So won’t lose his 50 million.

He's been pressured into it, imo. He had a curiosity-shop piece about Snoop joining Sparks. Then fans accused him of playing favourites.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Shocker he doesnt want to overpay for the franchise by 80%. He actually wants to pay market value and have some money left over to run the team and build an arena.

Why is it that sens fans want the team to sell for so much? It wont help the on ice product. The team couldnt even operate at a profit at 400 million.

Real estate aspect or not 1 billion makes no sense on any level when you have to build an arena that will cost another 600 million. Pittsburgh just sold with a new arena for 950 million.

The arena is now 13 years old, but ya fairly new.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Kimmel went from dropping out ( reported ) to preferred bidder in 3.5 seconds

What in the f*** is that thing
