MLSE owns the Toronto Maple Leafs, Toronto Raptors and Toronto FC.
Larry is a world-class individual who is highly regarded in the global sports community, and his experience in sports governance, his long-term perspective, and civil construction expertise are tremendous assets for our group.
The True Blues Consortium, which includes fans and former players, was also behind his bid, according to Pagliuca.
The group welcomes the endorsement and support of the True Blues Consortium, which is dedicated to representing fan interests for the club.
Pagliuca spoke publicly for the first time about his bid for the club on Monday, when he promised to make the club winners.
He said that the process has been disconcerting for the football club and fans.
It is important to clarify and assure supporters that we are serious about our responsibility to the club.
We will submit a substantial and credible bid proposal later this week, one that we expect will meet the respective requirements and regulations of the Premier League, UK Government and UEFA, and we pledge to honour our commitment to credibility and good guardianship of the club from day one.
