Wilson was not part of the original group that bought the club. Freeman and Herb Fritch or some name like it were the only two that could handle the guarantees. Wilson came in a bunch of years after the sale of the team to local ownership.
I hope that I did not imply he was but just to clarify. Freeman and Wilson are the two parts of the ownership that were able to guarantee the funding needed for inital purchase and additional monies needed after the inital acquisition of the team.
The link I posted earlier details whats should happen today. If the judge will lift the stay and allow the disagreement to go to arbitration is how I read it. So the court still has control of the situation until there decision today. Question is will the judge allow it to be decided by the league or keep it in the courts. I think it will depend on Freemans case. If he proves he has been damaged as much as he claims I doubt the judget allows it to go to the league.
