The following by current owner Jerry Richardson's behavior, but was quickly taken over by the league. And a prospective owner has emerged, according to of the Charlotte Observer.Ben Navarro, a former Citigroup executive who now runs a Charleston-based debt collection firm, is "actively exploring a bid" for
Brett Martin Jersey the Panthers franchise.The price will not be cheap: the franchise will probably not hit the $2.5 billion mark when it's sold, but that the Panthers should fetch more than $2 billion on the open market.Much speculation has circulated about potential owners since the decision to sell by Richardson was announced; , but is
Jeffrey Springs Jersey an unlikely candidate to realistically purchase the Panthers.Navarro is the head of Sherman Financial Group and would be dipping his toe into profe sional football ownership for the first time. Some facts about the potential owner, :Sherman Financial settled a case in 2014 with the state of New York for "repeatedly bringing improper debt collection actions against New York consumers." Basically, per the NY Attorney General, Sherman filed a suit after the statute of limitations had pa sed. They were forced to pay a $175,000 penalty and "improve its debt collections practices."Navarro's father, Frank Navarro, coached both the Princeton and Colombia football teams.Navarro's oldest daughter
Cole Hamels Jersey (he and his wife Kelly have four children) is a star tennis player who trains at LTP Tennis and Swim Club (owned by Navarro) and has committed to play at Duke.Navarro owns a $3 million home on Charleston's Broad Street. It's a nice little neighborhood.Navarro "privately funds" Meeting Street Schools, "a nonprofit educational" that runs a public school under private management in "a low-income part of North Charleston." It opened the school in 2014.Sherman Financial brought in a whopping $2 billion in revenue in 2016, the Observer said, citing reports. Buying the Panthers would require the majority owner to write a check for north of $700 million at the time of sale.If you distill all that surface stuff down, he makes a lot of sense as a po sible Panthers
Luke Farrell Jersey owner. He apparently has some aggre sive busine s practices, he knows the game as a coach's son, he has a lot of money, he has local real estate ties, he will have future local family ties (Duke is private, but still in North Carolina), he has local charitable ties and, most importantly, he has lots of money.Having said all that, there is a LONG way to go before he simply takes over the team. There needs to be a group created to purchase the Panthers, the group needs to be approved by the current owners, etc. etc. It is also worth noting , so there is no absolute way to predict which direction he'll go when it
Wei-Chieh Huang Jersey comes to selecting a new buyer and new ownership.
