The process of selling the Panthers franchise is moving along at an expected rate, and a vote on a new owner is expected to take place during late-May meetings in Atlanta, according to David Newton of ESPN.com, who adds a reported sale price of $2.5 billion could potentially be a bit inflated.
Per Newton, the two most likely candidates to purchase the Panthers remain South Carolina businessman Ben Navarro and Steelers minority owner/hedge fund billionaire David Tepper. Private equity manager Alan Kestenbaum and businessman Michael Rubin are also considered suitors, and Kestenbaum will visit Charlotte on Wednesday to tour the Carolina facilities, reports Joseph Person of the Charlotte Observer.
Three other unidentified candidates may have also interest in the Panthers, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, who speculates North Carolina software mogul Jim Goodnight and British businessman Joe Lewis could be in the running. Cowboys executive Stephen Jones said three “really qualified” suitors are part of the Carolina bidding process, but didn’t reveal those individuals.
Is steph curry still interested in being a minority owner
I’m sure he is but apparently his group fell through. Not sure how fluid these things are or if he could jump on board elsewhere.
He can always offer to kick in some cash for a small percentage of the team. One of the groups might welcome his notoriety and hope that translates to fan support. However, if I were a Carolina fan, I wouldn’t care either way if he was attached to the group. It would be like if the Coyotes were sold to an ownership group that included Rob Gronkowski. It’s trivial.
