J. James Posted 15 August Share Posted 15 August Sadly it's a no win for us now, the buyers (when it is actually sold) will almost certainly be Yanks with 100x more money than sense/morals/knowledge, Saudis or other arab butchers for whom decency and morality are total strangers or oligarchs by proxy who are quite simply gangland criminals in league with the boss of bosses-Putin- such as Abramovich. This is the state of football in England now, debased and for sale to any piece of sh!t that has the coin. IF any of the above buy our club now or in the future, l for one am done with it.

SkidsFox Posted 15 August Share Posted 15 August 20 minutes ago, PaulW said: Careful what you wish for....Mike Ashley has plenty of cash floating around, and there are still several Arab states keen to do a spot of sports washing. Add the possibility of asset stripping Americans or shady Eastern European businessmen, and suddenly the grass may not be so green elsewhere. Steve Bruce as manager. What could top that?

Popular Post RoboFox Posted 15 August Popular Post Share Posted 15 August It's true. If there's one person we should trust as a source of information on the dynamics of the highly-secretive LCFC boardroom, it's Ashleypp1986, the former lead singer of Leicester-based covers band BASH and wannabe comedian with 782 followers on Twitter. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not happy with the club being potentially being owned by shady owners with links to human rights abuses in the future, why do you tolerate it now? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus remember in his time as manager hes appointed the likes of McClaren and Bruce. In fact he let Rafa go to replace him with Steve Bruce 🙄 Edited 15 August by Leicesterpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frany104 Posted 15 August Share Posted 15 August Hope so! you can say be careful what you wish for.

There's some irony to this given what King Power have done, the support they receive from the Thai government & royal family and how the club at times has been used. The middle party of that sentence is absolute key here to any future of King Power ownership. Edited 15 August by CosbehFox 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you think about how much we were paying Bertrand, Vestergaard, Soumare, Perez etc and the money wasted on fees we are a million miles from the likes of Brighton, Palace, Bournemouth etc. Change needs to happen and quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your general point but interestingly in recent financial projections, Thailand has the slowest growth its South-East Asian peers. https://thediplomat.com/2024/07/whats-really-ailing-thailands-economy/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
