Foley and Black Knight Football Club are the American consortium who look set to take over the Devon club, subject to ratification from members at an extraordinary general meeting in May.
Black Knight board member, Ryan Caswell, who is a director at AFC Bournemouth, was spotted alongside Chiefs chairman Tony Rowe at Saturday’s game against Northampton, where Saints defeated their hosts 35-28.

Caswell is chief executive of Cannae Holdings, which is Foley’s investment company which provides much of the funding for Black Knight Sports and Entertainment, which will be the new owner of the rugby club.
The multimillion-pound deal will see new capital invested in the club which has been propped up by Rowe for the best part of 30 years.
BKFC currently own Bournemouth, Lorient and Aukland in football, along with a stake in Moreirense and Foley also owns the Vegas Golden Knights ice hockey team.
