BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills could identify a new owner within three months, leading Gov. Andrew Cuomos stepping up the states efforts to secure the franchises long-term future in the region. A person familiar with the sale process told The Associated Press on Saturday there is an anticipation that the Bills could be sold by July, and the sale approved by NFL owners as early as the leagues meetings in October. The same person and another person also told the AP that at least one prospective ownership group has already toured potential new stadium locations in Buffalo. Both people spoke on condition of anonymity because the sale process has not been made public. The person would not identify which ownership group toured the city, what sites were viewed or who provided the tour. The Bills future in Buffalo is uncertain after team owner and founder Ralph Wilson died in March. Wilsons estate is in the process of hiring an investment banking firm that would oversee the sale of the team, which is expected to go to the highest bidder. The updated timetable has led Cuomo to speed up the states involvement in protecting its interests in preventing the Bills from relocating. The state intends to hire a consulting firm over the next week to produce a report within three months that would be issued to prospective owners. The report would identify potential stadium sites and outline public financing options that would be made available. That firm would work with sports business attorney Irwin Raij, whose contract was extended last month, to represent the state during the sale process. Raij specializes in stadium development projects and lease agreements. In 2012, he represented New York in negotiating the Bills 10-year lease that included a strict non-relocation clause that makes it difficult for the team to move before the 2020 season. The firm would produce its report ahead of the "New Stadium Working Group," a committee made up of public and private leaders, including Bills executives. The group has already met twice over the past month and is responsible for making recommendations whether a new stadium or renovations to the teams current home best fit the franchises needs to remain viable in Buffalo once the lease expires in 2023. The working group is expected to take six months or longer before making its recommendations, well after the team could be sold. Cuomo is intent on making sure a framework of a plan is in place much sooner, Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy told the AP during a visit through the region Friday. "The governor wants to be prepared if there are any earlier offers to buy the team," Duffy said. "Our team is looking at sites now in Erie County, Buffalo, Niagara County. Were just being prepared because we dont know who the next owner will be. Were not sure what the goals and the objectives of the next ownership team will be." Stan Smith Wholesale China .

Ryan Giggs says he will be happy to chat to clubs who meet his managerial ambitions The time feels right and, although I have no immediate plans to step into management, it is where I want to be, he said in July.So far, the 42-year-old has yet to take up a role, although he was interviewed for the Swansea City job after Francesco Guidolins sacking in October, before Bob Bradley was eventually named the Italians successor. Soccer AMs Tubes chats to Giggs Giggs, however, is philosophical about missing out on the position at the Liberty Stadium, but he is still keen to talk to other clubs that could match his coaching vision.I spoke to them, so I was pretty close [to getting the job]! It was a good experience for me to speak to them, but like I said before, it just was not to be, he told Tubes in an interview on Soccer AM.

And then it can be a presentation, power point presentations that you have learned in your coaching badges and your pro licence. Giggs was Louis van Gaals (left) assistant during his two years in charge of Manchester United It is quite relaxed at first, but if that goes well then you take it on to the next level. And that is something from the Swansea interview I learned a lot and I think like anything, the more you do things, the better you get.Either way, though, the player who won every major club honour in the game during his 29 years at the Theatre of Dreams is relaxed about when his next managerial opening may come about. Giggs (centre) won a plethora of trophies during his 29 years at Old Trafford You know what it is like in football, jobs come and go really quickly, so if it has to be next year, then so be it, said Giggs.And one man Giggs still talks to about his future, now more than during his actual playing days, is his former trophy-laden manager at United, Sir Alex Ferguson.I speak to Sir Alex all the time, he said. Obviously such a big influence on my life and my football career, why would you not?If he sees me linked with clubs, then he will ring me up and have a chat about it and say: What do you think?I speak to him more now than when we were working together!See Tubes extended interview with Ryan Giggs on Soccer AM from 10am on Saturday on Sky Sports 1 HD AND Sky 1Upgrade to Sky Sports now to watch Man Utd v Arsenal this Saturday and get the first six months half price!
