Montreal businessman Clifford Starke to issue 'intent to purchase' Alouettes. MORE:
Montreal Alouettes celebrate , The Canadian Press
"This is not purely a business decision, it's a passion decision," he said."The guy wants the team and wants to do it for the right reasons." But the addition of Smith wasn't made just for friendship reasons. Football has long been a cornerstone of his family as his father, Larry — currently a Conservative senator — played nine seasons with Montreal and later twice served as club president.
"You can tell this is for him something where he wants to do right not only by Montreal but for himself as a fan." Last month, former Montreal Canadiens defenceman Serge Savard was said to be involved in a potential Alouettes ownership group but quickly denied any such involvement. The eight-time Stanley Cup champion added he was part of a group that once was interested in buying the Alouettes during Larry Smith's tenure as president, but nothing came of it.
