vitail concerns?
Habs owner has no interest in Tiger-Cats
Apparently, the Canadiens owner is quite content with owning just one financially struggling team. Go figure.
HAMILTON (CP) - Montreal Canadiens owner George Gillett Jr. has no intention of buying the financially crippled Hamilton Tiger-Cats, according to one of his business partners.
There have been reports that Gillett might be interested in purchasing the CFL club.
But Ron Foxcroft, who is a member of the AHL's Hamilton Bulldogs ownership group along with Gillett, says the Colorado millionaire isn't interested in purchasing the Ticats.
Ticats racked up $2.2M debt in '03?
"George wants to reinforce his commitment to the Bulldogs and the Hamilton hockey community," Foxcroft said. "But he is not buying the Tiger-Cats. He's consumed with other vital concerns."
The league assumed control of the Tiger-Cats last weekend after co-owners David Macdonald and George Grant failed to meet payroll.
As is the case with the insolvent Toronto Argonauts, a receiver, Richter & Partners, will control the Tiger-Cats until the league can find a new buyer.
