Commanders owner Dan Snyder less than two months ago was asked what country or state he is "usually" a resident in, and the native and longtime resident of the D.C. area “provided a somewhat unusual answer: England,” according to Jhabvala, Clarke & Maske of the WASHINGTON POST. The certificate of incorporation of a private limited company for Snyder UK Investments Limited “was filed Nov. 21 with the registrar of companies for England and Wales.” Snyder and his wife, Tanya, are "listed as company directors.” For both, the country or state of which they are “usually” a resident “is listed as England.” The filing “could signal the Snyders’ intentions" as they "consider offers for all or part of the Commanders.” The application to register a company in the U.K. was “dated 19 days after” the Nov. 2 announcement by the Commanders that the Snyders had hired an investment bank to “consider potential transactions.” The Snyder family "long has held property in England" as Snyder’s late father "had dual citizenship." A person familiar with the matter “declined to say whether London will be the Snyders’ primary residence.” Even if Snyder “does not intend to sell the team, making England his ‘usual’ residence would be unusual.” For most of his ownership tenure spanning more than two decades, Snyder has "been a mainstay at the team facility throughout the season, in addition to being seen on the field before games” (WASHINGTON POST, 1/2).
