Business never stops in the sports world, even here in Sacramento.
Sacramento Republic FC owner Kevin Nagle has finalized the takeover of English Championship club Huddersfield Town A.F.C. Thursday. Nagle has been working to purchase the club from former owner Dean Hoyle for a few months now, with reports stating the deal would take place. Now that the move is complete, the Sacramento businessman is in charge of the former Premier League side.
“I am extremely humbled and excited to be the new steward of Huddersfield Town,” Nagle said in a club statement. “I would like to thank Dean Hoyle, Dave Baldwin, the EFL, and FCA for all their help and attention to detail over the past few months. A special thanks to the wonderful Town supporters who have also been so supportive and patient. I know how deeply they care for this club, and I do not intend to let them down. Now let’s get to work.”
