    Club bought by Knighthead Capital Management, said to be worth $9bn

    Tom Wagner at the helm at the club, who is a millionaire, he's brought American football legend Tom Brady into the project.

    Knighthead are buying the land not BCFC.
    There is a difference between the club and the chairman or one of his companies developing the stadium complex!
