If anything should heaven forbid happen to the Big Cat....

Does Mark Richardson become the owner? Meaning will the team remain in the Richardson hands? I hate to sound pessimistic but I just don't want to see what is happening in Buffalo and Ralph Wilson happen to us.

good question i have no idea

I would be willing to bet anything that Mark Richardson would take over.

Best to not talk about though.

what is going on in Buffalo, what happens to the bills now that Wilson has passed?

Because of the estate tax, the Bills owner's daughter can't inherit the team because it would be too costly. So basically that team gets sold to the highest bidder after Ralph Wilson's death (he is 90 years old)

Does it go to the fans????????? 2nd team in history?????

None of our business. It's a privately own business. Hopefully we won't find out for another 20 years. Very inappropriate thread IMO.

Its not a sole ownership. There are a handful of people who have part ownership, Richardson being the one with the majority share. I would imagine the others would have first chance to buy up the remaining.

I'm sure he has already set in stone what will happen.

It certainly is our business.... I like the team in the Richardson leadership and can't fathom any other owner. This guy reminds me of the Rooney family with his steady leadership and without the meddling that other owners commit. I hope we don't have to find out anytime soon, but in the event the Big Cat passes away one would hope that Mark Richardson steps up and keeps the control of the team in the Richardson family.

I think he's asking what that would be.

I agree. I think it is our business. Considering what the fans have done for the franchise as well as Richardson. By that I mean PSL's.

I would like to know. However, I hope nothing comes of it for many years down the road.
