Damian Mills, founder and CEO of Mills Automotive Group buys 16 car dealerships and makes an offer to buy Saints
 

The Louisiana native's ambitions apparently extend far beyond his auto empire. Last month, amid the ongoing dealership transactions, Mills asked to meet with senior Benson Group executives and put forward a proposition to buy the Saints, according to two sources familiar with the meeting.

Representatives of Benson met with Mills but declined to discuss a sale of team.

Would be shocked if that happened. And would Gayle keep the Pelicans?

These were the only mentions of the Saints in the entire article. Sounds like his group asked about the Saints and he was kindly told to pound sand. The other 99.99% of the article just covered the auto dealerships.

There is no mention of any offer having been made at all for the Saints. Just permission to broach the subject which was denied.

She has already made it clear that she will not sell the Saints until her passing and then it is to be sold to a local concern with all proceeds going to NOLA area charities since she has no heirs. That's likely why her "people" refused to even discuss the subject.

Ms. Gayle appears to be in fine health so I suspect she be owning our team for many, many years to come.

Some folks are going to have a hard time with that.

Re: Damian Mills, founder and CEO of Mills Automotive Group buys 16 car dealerships and makes an offer to buy Saints
 

Yeah, I just don't get hoping Gayle dies sooner than later just so some thing or other might change. I'm sorry, but those priorities are warped. Don't you agree, Rugs?

Re: Damian Mills, founder and CEO of Mills Automotive Group buys 16 car dealerships and makes an offer to buy Saints
 

Who in the hell wants Gayle to die? I don't recall anyone in this forum ever saying that.

You must not be on Twitter. Although, I have no idea what that sinner guy is saying these days or the cow guy, for that matter.

if I had a nickel for every time you mention the name(s) of someone you have set to IGNORE, I’d have enough money to buy the Saints and put together a Championship team.

Maybe Guido has made himself a Fantasy Fan Salary Cap Manager game where he is a Mickey Loomis Junior and he signs all of the other forum members to his Fantasy Fan Team and Restructures all our contracts to expertly manipulate his fantasy cap and maximize value. He wants to ignore many of us. But he can't absorb the hit to his Fantasy Fan Salary Cap. So he talks **** and then makes new 5 year commitments to keep following us.

Salient points.

Once you get to that 99.99999% I’ll gladly throw in what’s needed to seal the deal.

Presently the Saints are valued at +/- $4BN (27th in the league).

Gayle said there is no way she sells the teams before she closes her eyes.

Once you enter the world of business and politics, statements like that are only as good as the last offer.

Just in case no one noticed, the NFL presently has 0 Black principle or majority owners and the fellow wanting to buy would just change that which is a huge reason for the league to use its influence to help get a deal done.

‘Old rich white woman blocks first black NFL owner from becoming reality and achieving his dream’ does not make pretty headlines for anyone.

A lot of it depends on how liquid Mr. Mills is. Buying 16 car dealerships can leave you asset rich but also either heavily leveraged or cash poor.

Don't you worry sinner guy, you are amongst "the few, the proud, the ignored". You are elite. Of course, I still have to see your stupid **** whenever you are "replied" on. But, it's no surprise that it only happens rarely.

:D

Re: Damian Mills, founder and CEO of Mills Automotive Group buys 16 car dealerships and makes an offer to buy Saints
 

Like the league is full of old white lady owners. :rolleyes: If the league wants a black owner there are at least 25 old white guys that can give up their team, instead.

Besides, Gayle isn't your average owner in it for generational wealth. She's already the second wealthiest person in the state and has no heirs. Her assets are already set to go NOLA area charities when she dies. Why would she sell the team now for five billion when it can be sold in fifteen to twenty years upon her death for three or four times that amount? She's certainly not hurting for cash.

But do you know where he got them shoes, though?

I’m so in your head, there’s barely any room for the Xanax and Morphine.

Re: Damian Mills, founder and CEO of Mills Automotive Group buys 16 car dealerships and makes an offer to buy Saints
 

I am all for the first black NFL owner getting his shot. But if Gayle doesn't want to sell the Saints, then they can't really make her just because she's rich and white. They would have a hard time selling that.

There was undoubtedly an inquiry and a polite no thank you, but our Saints aren't for sale. Unlike the referees! :p
