Steelers [Steelers] Financier Makes Bid For Controlling Share Of Steelers

A deal could be reached within days to sell a majority interest in the Pittsburgh Steelers to the chairman of a Pittsburgh-based investment firm, taking control of the NFL franchise away from the Rooney family. The shares would be sold to Stanley Druckenmiller, chairman of Duquesne Capital management, making him principal owner of the team. Druckenmiller’s interest was first reported Monday by The Wall Street Journal, which said a secret study by Goldman Sachs valued the franchise at between $800 million and $1.2 billion.

If he's got the coin, good for him, but I'd rather see the team stay with the Rooney's.

Have respected the Family for decades. Could be a good time to cash-in and make everybody happy. I don't care who you are, every person has a price. Nothing lasts forever.
