New England Sports or some such; owners of Red Sox...

 

Wiki: New England Sports Ventures LLC is the parent company of the Boston Red Sox of Major League Baseball. The Boston-based limited liability company also owns Fenway Park and the Fenway Sports Group (which in turn owns the Salem Red Sox of the Class A Carolina League, a minor league baseball franchise), plus 80 percent of the New England Sports Network and 50 percent of Roush Fenway Racing, a NASCAR team. NESV was founded in 2001 when John W. Henry joined forces with Tom Werner, Les Otten, The New York Times Company (which owns 16.58 percent[1]) and other investors to successfully bid for the Red Sox.

 

Wiki: John William Henry II (born September 13, 1949) is a futures and foreign exchange trading advisor who founded John W. Henry & Company (JWH). He is the principal owner of the Boston Red Sox and co-owner of Roush Fenway Racing. In March 2006, Boston Magazine estimated his net worth at $860 million, but noted that his company had recently experienced difficulties.[1] In May 2007, reports in the Wall Street Journal[2] and Bloomberg noted further difficulties with the firm.

The US bid sounds like another Hicks kind of purchase.

[Hand Shandy]

You're not. Its as clear a case of cigar photography as you're likely to come across.

 

It's supposed to be smoke and mir.....

 

Ah, fuck you hammy!

[TheHowieLama]

except they have been champions twice in the last 7 years and employ one of the youngest most forward thinking front offices in the game.

Oh, you meant American...

Other co-owner from Wiki: Thomas Charles "Tom" Werner (born April 12, 1950 in New York City, New York) is the Chairman of the Boston Red Sox, as well as an American television producer and businessman.

 

Werner was born in to a wealthy New York area family. He was educated at The Hotchkiss School, one of the nation's elite private schools, and earned an English degree from Harvard University. In 1973, Werner entered television by working for ABC-TV. In 1975, he became the Director of East Coast Prime Time Development. Werner was promoted to senior vice president of the prime time development department in 1979. While at ABC Werner and his partner Marcy Carsey saw Robin Williams in a Comedy Club and launched "Mork & Mindy". Werner also oversaw the development of "Bosom Buddies" which started the career of Tom Hanks, as well as "Soap" which started the career of Billy Crystal and "Taxi" which started the career of Danny DeVito.

 

Werner co-founded The Carsey-Werner Company with Marcy Carsey in 1980. In this capacity he served as executive producer of such television programs as The Cosby Show, Roseanne, 3rd Rock from the Sun and That 70s Show and other successful hits. Werner made nearly $600 million selling episodes of The Cosby Show for syndication. In 1999, he was honored at the Museum of Television and Radio.

 

In 1990, Werner entered the world of sports by purchasing the San Diego Padres from Joan Kroc. Werner bought the Padres with 14 other investors and partners. Werner often used the team to help promote his television programs, such as when he invited Rosanne Barr to perform the national anthem. At one point during his tenure, Werner's Padres traded many players in a rumored attempt to lower salary. Fred McGriff and Gary Sheffield were the two most popular players dealt, though Sheffield's trade brought legendary closer Trevor Hoffman to the team. While unpopular at the time, the Padres did win the National League Pennant in 1998.

 

In December, 1994 Werner and his partners sold most of their interest in the Padres to John Moores.

 

During the administration of President Bill Clinton Werner and Carsey were close friends and frequent advisors to Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton.

 

In 2000 Werner, Carsey, and longtime partner Caryn Mandabach joined Oprah Winfrey to start Oxygen, a 24 cable channel serving the modern woman.

 

Werner is currently Chairman and, along with John Henry, co-owner of the Boston Red Sox baseball club. He and Henry paid $660 million for the franchise in February 2002, purchasing also Fenway Park and the New England Sports Network from the Yawkey Family Trust, managed by John Harrington. The Red Sox won two World Series since he became co-owner, in 2004 and 2007.

There is also the fact that this information is released just after a video from the Liverpool fans against Hicks is broadcast.

 

This news now stops the media concentrating on that video.

[Frankenhooker]

Boston Red Sox fans have something of a love affair with their owners, New England Sports Ventures have really improved the club and they are in an extremely comfortable position financially. Obviously I can understand once bitten and all that, but lets not discount 300m people because of those two despicable pricks.

[Funkasy]

Someone that cant get the dept gone would always be a start, then we would have an extra 40mil on player transfers each year..building a new stadium is always gonna be very expensive and as important as it is, its not that easy to build unless your very wealthy

[Chinandeler Bong]

BBC and SLY saying bids been accepted.
