don't think the NFL will allow another GB situation. There is now a maximum number of owners allowed.

Also, I doubt she will just gift a substantial stake to any of the executives; but if it was anyone my money would be on Dennis L.


Do you know what you're talking about. All the shares that the fans have equal 1 share. But they call it a fan owned team. Do you really think the true owners of the team would give 50,000 shares to season ticket holders. No it was just a PR move a long time ago.

Goldring, Glazer, Matt McKay, Matt Stuller (Lafayette's richest baw)...there is plenty of $ and a group could be assembled if she was interested in selling to people who would keep team in the city

But can anyone of them come up with at least $1.8B without incurring too much debt (Saints estimated at $6.1B). Need at least 1 person to have a 30% controlling interest, but only a certain percentage of that investment can be debt

There are approximately 5,204,625 shares owned by 538,967 stockholders. The corporation is governed by a board of directors and a seven-member executive committee.
