Should have been subbed

When was that exactly?

Some speculative AI slop to throw into the mix Executive Summary: King Power's Investment in Leicester City After reviewing the acquisition, shareholder loans, debt write-offs, stadium purchase, infrastructure spending and financial accounts, the most credible estimate is: King Power and the Srivaddhanaprabha family have committed approximately £500 million to Leicester City since 2010. The key numbers £39m – purchase of Leicester City (2010) £421m+ – shareholder loans permanently converted into equity (2013, 2023 and 2025) £17m – purchase of the King Power Stadium freehold Additional smaller amounts through community projects, supporter initiatives and ongoing support Most likely total Estimate Type Amount Minimum proven investment £421m+ Proven investment plus club purchase ~£460m Best overall estimate ~£500m Plausible upper range ~£525m What this means King Power have effectively: Bought the club. Wiped out over £421 million of debt owed to themselves. Purchased the stadium. Supported the construction of one of the best training facilities in Europe. Funded the club through Premier League, Championship and European campaigns. Taken little money back out compared with the sums invested. The outcome During their ownership Leicester achieved: 🏆 Premier League Champions (2016) 🏆 FA Cup Winners (2021) 🏆 Community Shield Winners (2021) 🏆 Two Championship titles 🏆 Champions League Quarter-Finalists 🏆 Seagrave Training Centre development Bottom line For a club of Leicester City's size, £500 million is an extraordinary level of owner commitment. Few non-state-backed football clubs in Europe have received this level of long-term financial support from a single ownership group. The uncomfortable reality is that despite half a billion pounds of backing, poor recruitment, rising wage costs, relegation, PSR issues and strategic mistakes have left Leicester in a significantly weaker position than they were at the peak of the Vichai era. However, the scale of King Power's financial support itself is difficult to dispute.

Lads, the clap!

This place is absolutely hilarious 😂

Of course! Here's your text rewritten in an exquisite, upper-class English style: The truth of the matter is that the so-called "old school" tend to appear for the more significant fixtures, bedecked in their Stone Island attire, yet when the moment demands true courage, they invariably falter. I was, in my day, a founding and prominent member of the YBS; in those early years, it was invariably we, the younger generation, who were willing to stand our ground. We were, if I may say, game as anything. From what I hear, the young lads of today still show similar spirit (I myself am now thirty, with a wife and children, and have long since stepped away from such matters). It infuriates me to see these so-called veterans, now perched safely in the family stands, dressed head to toe in Stone Island finery, yet when trouble threatens to brew, they hide behind the excuse of having their children with them. That, of course, is entirely understandable — but if one is no longer willing to stand firm, then one ought not to don the uniform of those who are still prepared to do so. Most of these so-called 'lads' have never truly been involved in anything resembling a proper altercation. I would wager that, out of fifty men — despite the grand claims that "two hundred" were present — no more than a dozen would actually step forward. The remainder scurry back to the tavern and, with no shortage of audacity, boast of encounters that never truly occurred. Would you like a version that's even more formal or slightly more old-fashioned, depending on the tone you're aiming for?

Nope!

Our squad is starting to look like the despised collection of the kid that ends up with all the crap panini stickers.

I'm unsure about ownership change, it could be that top has completely lost interest. I just think he is too young and inexperienced for this project, he needs the support and guidance of a strong team of people around him at senior level. I'm really surprised that we've not seen vociferous protests against Whelan and Rudkin as they are the common denominators, the watch keepers of this entire debacle, personally I'd like to see change there before new ownership.

Remember preseason, quite a few on here were convinced we were doomed to league one, even before a ball was kicked in anger. They must be totally made up with our current position?

Goal scoring superstar hero?
