    Depends if I back my self to turn the finances around. Then I'd own the 6th most successful club of the century rather than one that's languished in the 4th tier for most of it.

     

    Is this actually still a Leicester forum? I've got people trying to convince me "Burton Albion" and "Bradford City" are more attractive proposals than us.

    With outline planning permission for a substantial regeneration scheme that if tweeked from KP’s plans could be a nice money spinner for an investor

    Really can't see it being Dunelm, Next, Walkers/Pepsico or Marks Electrical (the latter company expanding massively in recent times).

     

    So wouldn't be surprised if it's to do with Mike Ashley, as he was interested in buying Coventry.

    Marks Electrical are part owned by Frasers/Ashley now

    Sorry my bad, your correct, he owns nothing in Leicester but he does have a lease to 5 stores in Fosse Park,

     

    Frasers Group are based in the midlands, 

    Yeah true they are planning to build a massive campus in Ansty which is just over in Warwickshire though

     

    So you’ve still got a good shout

    Mike Ashley owns significant commercial property in Leicester through his company, Frasers Group.

    What property do Frasers own in Leicester?

     

    The fosse park store will be leased and the store in town is no bigger/smaller than what they have in most cities

    Yeah the ‘Burnley’ season is what I suspected was being referred to. On the other hand, we started that season extremely poorly. I didn’t realise Shakespeare has gone as early as 8 games in though having just looked. So I guess a poor start didn’t really matter. 
     

    But yeah, I remember feeling similarly at the time that we could/should have done better that season.

     

    Like I say, Puel gets the rightful, perhaps excessive, criticism for on the pitch but he did more for us that most of the managers we have had over the years in terms of the squad. I always look at how a manager inherited vs leaves us in terms of overall health and it has only ever been Pearson and Puel under KP that come to mind. I suppose you could add Maresca in that we got promoted back although I’m not sure the overall health of the club improved (lumbered with the likes of Winks and Vestergaard). Not that I am turning this into a debate about Maresca and I would include him in that group. 

    Yeah was referring to 17/18 where everytime we had an opportunity to push on we seemed to falter especially at home where we drew/lost a lot of games on paper we should have been winning

    It wasn’t the point I was trying to make 

     

     

    We’re basically where Forest were in the mid 2000’s when they’d bang on about having more European Cups than Man United whilst getting hammered by Yeovil at home

    Can’t believe so many people are still leaping the defend the European performances and throwing away top 4 twice :blink:

     

    I just can’t. I’m out! 

    The people defending the Puel era are just as bad

     

    Two massive opportunities to qualify for Europe missed then too

    same as Arsenal their parade is the day after the Champions League final so a lot of their fans will still be in Budapest. 

     

    You think Villa would do theirs on Monday with it being a Bank Holiday. 

    Brum Pride on Monday which has been prearranged 

     

    After that players are heading off etc

    Our fans were mostly happy to just enjoy the ride when we lost to Roma. I was apoplectic because I knew it would be our one chance.

     

    Being in the Conference League was a failure in itself

    Didn’t KP show some interest in the Tigers a few years back? 

    Was just a few rumours by Pro-KP journos/LCFC fans

     

    was never any serious interest

    I went tigers today. The amount of non-Leicester accents in the stands did my nut in.

     

    Walked past the train station and everyone buggering off to all over the country.

     

    I just don’t understand why people can’t support their local clubs, whether that be football, rugby, cricket or whatever.

    EMR from Derby always heaving on Tigers match days
