Eric Lapointe’s group won’t be buying Alouettes from Robert Wetenhall
The CFL says American businessman Robert Wetenhall still owns the Montreal Alouettes but if the franchise goes up for sale, a group headed by former player Eric Lapointe won’t be in the running.
Lapointe said Friday his group of potential investors has decided against pursuing ownership of the troubled CFL franchise. He added that decision was made Thursday.
Lapointe, a former Alouettes running back who’s now working in wealth management, offered no reason for the group’s decision. But it would appear to leave just one potential ownership group in the running, one reportedly headed up by Montreal businessman Clifford Starke.
