sphericalfox Posted 13 May 2014 Share Posted 13 May 2014 About £180m I've said this before in the 'I've just bought a really expensive jet' thread. I thought we'd not see our Thai lads flashing their cash, and certainly not making the whopping silliness of telling everyone what they have to spend before they've spent it...again. Lo and behold what do I read today? Pearson and Walsh must be sighing long and loud, and rubbing their heads, now that every agent and his uncle, adds zeros to their clients' demands.

Matt Posted 13 May 2014 Share Posted 13 May 2014 Exciting stuff and it's nice to hear, lots and lots of ambition, serious ambition. A couple of fears that a bred by it though - 3 years is a very short time frame and I hope this project isn't rushed, I think it could take up to double that amount of time to 'do it properly' obviously asap will be better though, another thing the mention of money, I hope they don't think it is as simple as throwing money at it because we all know how that doesn't necessarily work. But I applaud their ambitions and really hope we follow it all through and despite my minor fears above I think they will do it the right way, they haven't put a foot wrong yet and I see no reason why they should start now.

Bob Weasel Fox Posted 13 May 2014 Share Posted 13 May 2014 Great ambition. Be happy with survival and then top 10 finishes ala Martin OGod for a while though. FA Cup has to be a serious ambition hopefully in the next few seasons if we stay up aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually really positive, bar the handful of bellends.There's me expecting some out of touch drivel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry - LCFC Posted 13 May 2014 Share Posted 13 May 2014 What a load of bollox this thread is.The owner has said nothing of any importance and now we have the usual "we're doomed!" and "we're a laughing stock" type over reaction. Get a fcking grip. Revealing that you want to get into the top five is a big statement to be making IMO. Even if it is a long term goal it's still quite something to be aiming for. I'm not bothered by the emotional reaction as that's to be expected, I just don't see this as just a throwaway comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkie1999 Posted 13 May 2014 Share Posted 13 May 2014 Bloody hell, imagine what we could do with £180m. We should walk the league... Ahhh, well spotted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seenitall Posted 13 May 2014 Share Posted 13 May 2014 wow, judging by the reaction to when they spent £10m I'm surprised we will have any fans left at all by spending money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Posted 13 May 2014 Share Posted 13 May 2014 OK. I am prepared to give Vichai the benefit of the doubt and agree that it's "misguided excitement". It does make mewonder though how he ever got anywhere in business. Vichai: "I have got £180m to spend!!" How much does that player cost?" Agent: "Erm, he's £180m please" Straight out of the Rodney Trotter school of wheelin and dealin... How much is Vichai worth and how much is the Agent worth? I would suggest Vichai knows more about "wheelin and dealin". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promised land Posted 13 May 2014 Share Posted 13 May 2014 Fans that actually know the facts about Leicester? My God. Well informed and somewhat intelligent I'd say, I think most big clubs fans follow football with more interest than just the game being played. Those Stokie fans seem the opposite to the reds to me.

The Year Of The Fox Posted 13 May 2014 Share Posted 13 May 2014 I know us being in the PL was their top priority but why not set out to win the cup and get into Europe that way. Surely mire achievable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheStig Posted 13 May 2014 Share Posted 13 May 2014 Setting the bar ambitiously is the work of a business man. I am actually of the opinion that the fact that the owners are ventilating their ambitions should be be taken positively by all. Should the ambition of "survival" be our only focus? Or is it better with ambitions and (maybe) high targets. I think not, and if we meet the high expectations we are in for a massive ride for LCFC. We have for too long been content (or have had to live with lower performances than expected and hoped for) and its refreshing to see the owners having even higher aims. Fancy European trips, playing the best sides in the country on equal (financial) terms must excite ANY fan. Times are a changing and it is so cool being part of it. Pressure yes - but that is part of the game and if we can´t handle it then lets stay in The Championship. I for one cannot wait to see the development of City after decades of bad performances and negativity. Up the Blues and fear no one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdb Posted 13 May 2014 Share Posted 13 May 2014 Well, it's nice to be ambitious, but I hope they don't get deluded to the point where Nigel is under pressure. The top 5 is well beyond us in the next 3 years, and for the forseeable future. Taking us to the Premier League is great but it was always a realistic target, this isn't. this - must say this is the 1st time i've winced a little at a quote from our owners. good to be ambitious but 1 step at a time. not sure NP would've wanted this and selling clubs are surely gonna hold out for more ££ now.

filbertway Posted 13 May 2014 Share Posted 13 May 2014 Sounds to me like he picked out a round number. I think his point was, they will be willing to spend money in the long term, rather than saying "we're going to spend x amount". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you actually see the interview it's difficult to know what was said and in what context. It's very easy to cobble together a load of quotes and make it look like they how they have.
