Can't see it. I don't think the Waltons own any sports teams at present (and the article suggests a family who have sports teams already). Also one of the Walton fortune's heirs (Ann Walton) is married to Stan Kroenke who owns Arsenal.

Steve Ballmer or Robert Kraft might be the most likely candidates of the US sports club owners but you wouldn't describe either as 'families'.

There are a load of super rich US families (Mars, Lauder, Johnson (2 of these both worth over $30b, Newhouse, Pritzker, Cargill-MacMillan) but none of them seem to own sports teams or be a good natural fit.

The only US wealthy family that might be a good fit on the surface is the Cox family, seeing as their business is media. However when delving deeper they sold most of their broadcasting assets and now concentrate on their US IP network.

What about the Sackler family, honest and full of integrity .... that would be dope

How about the Roy's?
 
Thought by law any bid shareholders have to be informed? When cain hoy bid they did.

Not sure how it works for non-listed companies tbh but maybe if it was just talks and not a formal bid, then the obligations might not apply? Plus if the largest shareholder by far is rejecting any bid I guess it's moot (although that doesn't circumvent any disclosure obligations of course).
