Will Morrison ‏@Mozza962
Amid rumours Pat Bowlen majority shareholder of Denver Broncos is the American group interested in buying Hull City. I like it two champions.

I have no idea who Will Morrison is, but I thought I might as well throw it into the mix.

About Pat Bowlen

Wisconsin oilman Pat Bowlen has an estimated net worth of $1 billion. He is the principal owner and Chief Executive Officer of the Denver Broncos, a professional American football team of the National Football League. He bought a majority stake in the team for $78 million in 1984 from Edgar Kaiser. A year after, the Bowlen family bought the rest of the team.

Patrick Dennis Bowlen was born on February 18, 1944 in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. He holds business and law degrees both from the University of Oklahoma. He later became a successful lawyer in Edmonton, Alberta which led him to build his estimated net worth of $1 billion. He also has worked at his father’s company. He is a real estate developer and has major investments in the mining industry.

As the owner of Denver Broncos, he has helped the team dominate football in the late 1990’s with a back-to-back win in the Super Bowls. However, the team has been losing recently. Mr. Bowlen has fired the legendary coach Mike Shanahan because of the team’s performance in the league.

Pat Bowlen is also part-owner of the Colorado Crush in the Arena Football League. He shared the ownership with Stan Kroenke, a Denver-based sports mogul, and John Elway, the legendary Broncos quarterback. In 2006, he added the Denver Outlaws of the Major League Lacrosse in his league of teams. So far, it is the most winning franchise that he ever had.

I really don't know why this rumour is taking off considering he quit the Broncos for health reasons. He's got Alzheimer's.

Probably still involved but "did"!
Kraft Group bought Cadbury.
They then split back into two separate entities Kraft Foods, a US Grocery business, and created Mondelez, a new Worldwide "Snacking Busines" which includes the Cadbury brand.

I know, as in my old role I ran all Cadbury UK and International employee share schemes so I was involved in both the Kraft acquisition of Cadbury and the divestment two years later !

Now I've retired I miss my trips to Bournville & the Cadbury Staff discount shop!

And now the buggers are banning Cadbury's Dairy Milk being sold in the US, as they know it's far superior to that Hershey's ****!

All sounding very promising if the US group has contacted the Council and the Council is open to investment in the surrounding area. A strong working relationship between the owners and the Council, and the owners and the fans, could be a great foothold to start on.

Really hope there can be some move made to have official representation from HCST on the Board.

It's being reported on Sky from the looks of things, so maybe when the identity of the interested parties becomes known, it'll kick off a bit more coverage over there. I suppose at the moment with nothing really known about the identities of the parties, it's harder to report from that end.
