ExWNYer Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I always loved Jim Kelly, but is it necessary to shoe horn him into every aspect of the team possible? Bingo! The answer to both this and the OP's question is "no". It's the dawn of a new era. Long live El Pegual! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Well should he? Is this something JK wants or just your idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 If he wants too fine. But what's the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) I was a bit saddened to see Jimbo pimpin' himself out to Bon Jovi for a 2% stake. That did not make Jim look good at all. Sure he eventually told JBJ to eff off, but he let slip that he could be bought. I've posted before that I never believed Kelly had a real plan to buy the Bills. Why? Because he never showed the ability to organize a successful business venture before. (Okay he has his football camp but doesn't someone run that for him?) Plus he was very flip about cobbling the money together to buy the Bills. Like he knew people who had a billion + to lend him. If anything this sales process proved it was a game played at a level far beyond Jimbo's capability.

TheFunPolice Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 from Jim's perspective, he could put in 14+ million for 1% of the team and no real say in anything OR He could keep that money, and draw a nice salary from the team in an ambassador/alumni role on top of it. Either way he has the same amount of say, except he's 14 million richer in the second example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) If the team appreciates a bit, so would Jim's stake in the team. He could sell it and make a hefty profit. You think Terry wants to miss out on that? I think whatever equity Jim would get sold as a pseudo ceremonial gesture would be a fraction of a percent. In the context of billions of dollars its hardly anything that would have serious finical consequences. For me I would like to see it happen something about Kelly having a direct link to the team however small and relatively meaningless is a good story.
