Both are showing in the clubs accounts submitted last year as assets of the club. The stadium is carrying an asset value of 44.3m and Seagrave at it's historical cost. https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/04593477/filing-history There does seem to be conflicting information online that suggests King Power own them separately though. I guess this and all of the other issues are probably why there have been reports that it all gets a bit murky when potentially interested parties start doing their due diligence. It's all a bit of a rabbit hole

I think you are probably right. We lost £71m in the Premier League season, we must have lost a lot last season in the Championship but those accounts aren't available yet, I very much doubt KP have covered those losses so the likelihood is that we have borrowed against every penny owed and only now has it dawned on Top that he has to sell. As you said, we need a multi billionaire.

Fortunately both the stadium and Seagrave are not held in a different company. They are assets of the club.

The pending transfer fees are where it all gets a bit murky and could be where KP have endangered the club, I hope they haven't. The gross amount that is showing online is £81m outstanding, that will be offset by the amount that we are owed but how much of the transfer fees that we are owed have KP already borrowed against from Macquarie? If it is most or all of our incoming transfer fees then we are in big trouble. There are other debts but this could be a real problem. Instead of owing a net amount of say £25m which may be manageable for someone looking to buy the club it could be closer to £81m in which case we have a major issue, especially when the other debts are taken into account.

Challinor would be the first pick but Rob Edwards is a huge upgrade on Russell Martin, anyone would be, but he is. He took Luton to the Premier league and would almost certainly have done the same with Middlesbrough if he didn't take the Wolves job. Nobody was going to keep Wolves up at the time he joined. We could do worse and have done. He is good at connecting with the fan base too which we need right now.

After Martin left Rangers they went from 8th in the league to a point off the top before the league split up.They fell away at the end but still ended up 3rd. The squad could well be capable of automatic promotion on paper but with this clown in charge it's hard to form an opinion. Rangers also made a good appointment in Rohl. Would the clowns running our club find someone decent or appoint another manager that is stealing a living?

Even if we sack Martin, which it doesn't look like we will yet, the same people who wanted him desperately will be hiring his replacement unless the club is sold. It should be incredibly difficult to find a worse manager than Martin, but if anyone can, the clowns running the club can. It isn't looking good.

True, but all of was before spending rules. Even if their owners wanted to, which they probably don't or even if someone extremely rich took them over there is only so much you can spend with their revenue.

Blackburn get some of the lowest attendances in the championship. They had that period under Jack Walker where they were able to over-achieve due to him spending way more than they ordinary could or would be allowed to do today but we have way more support than they do. The bottom of the championship/top of league one is where they would sit if gate receipts/support were taken into account. I think we win the biggest disaster for a club debate. If we don't get rid of Martin we look like we are going down. We have seen this before.

Yes they have and Liv golf filed for bankruptcy protection.

He also said that if it looks like we will get relegated then they are gone. That doesn't sound like a leader to me. That sounds like a chancer. A serious investor with money would still be interested even if we got relegated but would just want a lower price.

This is a major concern. Someone borrowing against the stadium and training ground at high interest rates to raise the funds for the purchase price, placing us in huge debt. With a 200m asking price it seems the most likely way anyone will buy unless Top takes a massive reduction. How rich does someone have to be to have that kind of money kicking around in cash? There aren't many people and it's a bad time to be looking for a Arab sheikh right now as they have enough on their plate and are pulling funding from sports in Saudi in particular.

Exactly. He built the misaligned stand there. The plan was to shift the whole pitch but he only managed to complete one stand then ran out of money.

Out come the sharks, charlatans and fantasists. Does anyone else find it annoying when you see people talking about buying a football club but that it then has to be profitable? Yeah, good luck with that. Some of the world's most successful businessmen in other aspects of life have already invested in football clubs and not managed to turn a profit. Unless you are willing to lose tens of millions of pounds a year for a club like us to get to the Premier League then why even talk? He seems the type of ''Investor'' who will want to buy it for a pound and then only spend the money the club earns as it treads water or goes further down the league. None of it is sustainable, football in it's current form isn't. If the club could run and get back to the Premier League with it's own profits then what do we need you for? What purpose do you serve? There is literally no point in having an owner, it may just as well be fan run then and don't give me the ''we can market the club in India bollocks'' you can't tell me we don't have people within our own support that are more than capable and probably way more capable than he is of marketing the club to the Indian market. He clearly doesn't have the money and will probably use the look at me on Talksport to try and have whip-round. Our only real chance is some billionaire. The Middle Eastern investors are pulling their investments from things like golf at the moment and due to the situation in the Middle East it isn't the best time to get an Arab Sheikh. American? A possibility and could work as long as they don't do a debt finance special and try to use the Stadium and Training ground as assets to borrow against to finance the purchase price. We need another Leicester miracle here my fellow foxes.
