You guys talk about Sabates and Smith as though they are the east coast version of Al Davis. What gives? Why the animosity?

I would bet a good bit of it stems from the fact that Sabates wants to throw the  current PSL s at BOA stadium into the garbage,  if he gets his wish and buys the team and he and the new owners get the new stadium they want.

Mr Scot...if you really believe that there are no back channel conversations going on regarding the sale of the team, then it is you, my friend, that doesn’t understand how business works.

Sure, kid.

"I have sources" gets you no credibility when you can't back it up.

Nice attempt at an attention grab, buuuuut no.

Mhm...lots of talk about the sale of the club...sorry to troll, but you’re out of your element, Donnie.

But not talk that fits your narrative, Sanjay.

 

Just pie the man...narrative confirmed 

 

There's nothing "back channel" about Sabates and Smith discussing going in together on a bid. Anybody can do that.

It would only be back channel if Jerry Richardson were shown to be giving them an inside track, and there's nothing to indicate that's true.

If they do end up working together, then Sabates and Smith will put in their bid, others will put in theirs and somebody will win.

That's just the normal process.

Tidbit from the Sabates article...

 

So if it's Jeff Gordon, do all the Dale Earnhardt fans get pissed?

The more I hear the more this sounds like a bunch of super rich but not “buy a NFL team” rich guys sitting around dreaming. They aren’t far off I bet but it’s all blustering and steam.  Jeff and Dale could stoke a 50m check but I really don’t think Sabates could. These kinds of groups are all talk. I’ll be interested once they actually put in a LOI and begun being vetted.

Pretty much need to see who is in the bidding.  Richardson doesn't need to take the highest bidder. He can choose anyone he wants.  Also 50m isn't even 5% ownership.

Sabates hasn't identified everybody, but the ones he has identified to date don't really fit the "heavy hitter" description he used when he first started this.

Obviously, the majority owner is gonna be somebody that we don't know about yet. 

Since he's mentioned that a couple of the minority owners are in on this, one of them would be a logical guess. But I do find myself wondering if there's a "man behind the curtain".

The heavy hitter is most likely one of the following. Brian France, Bruton/Marcus Smith or Rick Hendrick.

Smith and France have both been rumored. You're thinking Hendrick?

Possible. He is a billionaire but I think just barely. If I had to pick one of the three it would be Marcus/Bruton. 

 

Matter of fact what Felix is saying now is what Bruton did with Concord. Threatened to move the Speedway to Rowan County to get Concord to pony up money for refurbishment to the old speedway.
