    Naylor's take on the non-sale to date.

    Braley says the 2 concussion lawsuits are holding up the sale.

    TSN's legal analyst Eric Macramalla says the lawsuits are a factor but pose minimal risk to new owners.

    Just more of me thinks the below is the bigger issue.

    It is believed the Waterboys group is willing to pay in the $14 million to $15 million range, while Braley is believed be seeking about $20 million, according to sources

    A part of me thinks it's good that Braley wants good value for the Lions, but it's pretty evident that the Lions are losing ground in the Greater Vancouver area. Not that the Canucks are even as strong as they once were or that the Whitecaps are extremely strong (looks like they're fudging the attendance numbers), but it's clear that the Canucks are still "the team" in the lower mainland, the whitecaps have gained a much greater popularity since joing the MLS, and the Seahawks fanbase has exploded in BC for some reason. Something is wrong here though, as it seems the Lions are going downhill as oppsed to up or even stabilizing.

    I think Braley has to be careful here. It would suck to lose the Aquilini and Sidoo's interest, or even "the waterboys" for that matter IMO.

    if Braley has been offered 14-15 million he should take the money and run before things completely fall apart.
