Argos official new owners Bell Media & Kilmer Group

What does McClown have to say about this?... I really hope Bradley just sells between the twenties , twenty rows up and then comps the rest of the stadium... We do t need to see the crap do me with only 5000 people in it... Miles well move the games to Varsity and give Rogers the big FU

I really think or at least hope that during the season that Braley and Bell/Kilmer will work together and begin the process of making a smooth transition.
Braley really caught a lot of heat and he kept quiet and took the brunt.
It looks to me its pretty clear he did not want Rogers involved at all. Hence we see the new spinoff Bell/Kilmer ownership.

The arrogance of Rogers to think they could reap the benefits of MLSE and be the only company to have its own outside holdings. Being Jays/RC/SN NHL deal.

There is more than enough population in GTA and extended area to support all 5 teams. Rogers could have benefited greatly by going along. Every 5 years or so they could of had RC reconfigured to better host a GC on the MLSE dime. Bell/Kilmer will need to spend the $$$ to add temp seats and reconfigure BMO for GCs anyway.

I am pretty sure that this will happen, cflsteve. This will certainly be a transition year which is not a bad thing.

:thup:

Braley owns the team until 31st of December, he has to pay the bills this season and absorb the losses at the RC.
Bell and Kilmer are going to be “hands off” this season they won’t be having anything to do with the Argos while they are still playing at the Rogers Centre.

You obviously didn’t watch the press conference. Must suck for you to see the Argos future saved hey ? :wink:

Hands off ?
Braley stated during the press conference that “his partners” would be involved in big decisions and the direction of the team.

Oh, that Mikem, such a kidder.

Your nuts. The new ownership group will have lots of say during this season, in fact just got my email, that if i want to secure my season tickets at BMO, i must buy for this year,such a MLSE move, but regardless, that is how they make money. The Argo staff has already started to hire new front office people as of FEB and they wiill continue to hire more now

as others have told you, that is B.S watch the press confrence. The Argos have already started to hire more front office staff.

So Tennenbell must be paying money to Braley to hire staff? What motivation does Braley have?

None. This season will be a wash/mess for the Argos. If you think previous seasons were bleak, they’ll have nothing on 2015. It will be like a wake before a rebirth.

love of the game and the league.

and if you question that, then you got rocks in yer head.

then we can call you rocky bungle. :slight_smile:

Bell/Kilmer wont be completely hands off. The transition of ownership takes time and is complicated I am sure well beyond my knowledge. As mentioned new front office staff is appearing. Along the way a marketing strategy will be put into place.
Bell is smart enough to begin to promote and rebuild a fan base for ticket sales, season ticket holders, lining up already Bell Media connected corporate partners, a CTV evening new sports employee to get exclusive coverage of all Argo's games, activities, and updated news. Something that up till now has been secluded to the Argos CFL site and Argos TV.

Then break the new year with all of the details for the 2016 season.

Completely agree.

Unless I missed it and maybe those who have heard can clarify, but there is still a possibility how Mr. Braley may get a cut of the GC profits for at least the next game soon to be awarded for the city?

does the actually purchase agreement between the two parties really matter to us the fan?

Bingo FYB, not to me. Who tf cares? ArgoT, get on with things, really. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

I don’t disagree just idle chit chat while anxiously waiting for camp to open up next week.

Fair enough! :thup:
