The impending sale of the St. Louis Rams to Illinois businessman Shahid Khan is “no sure thing” according to ESPN’s Len Pasquarelli.
Sale Of Rams To Shahid Khan “No Sure Thing”
Before the sale can be approved by the full membership (a three-fourths vote of the 32 owners is required), Khan still must obtain the OK of the finance committee. And although most have assumed that the purchase from the Rosenbloom family is a done deal, the nine-man committee has plenty of questions.
Said one prominent committee member: “There’s still a lot of very close scrutiny left. The committee will conduct due diligence to [the hilt].”
In addition to that wrinkle, it’s possible Steve Spagnuolo could choose to leave the club if the sale is finalized, according to Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Spagnuolo has a clause in his contract that states he can freely exit his contractual obligations if the team is sold. He’s heading into year two of a four year, $11.5 million contract signed last January.
