Paninistickers

Just popped on radio 6 and, every now and then, you just hear something which you think,.wow. 1972 this FFS. What a groove. Staggering it's 55 years old

Anybody ever call it mow-maker hill? Or is everyone mow-aker?

Been a tremendous afternoon watching rugby. Tigers outstanding and then teo great games after.. Thought the villa park crowd was a bit underwhelming. I guess the organisers thought tigers would take many more. Instead it felt like a normal sized home and away Kingsholm crowd When City are shite,.it's actually really refreshing watching other sports. I remember doing the same 20 years ago in the mid 2000s. .

Such a good point. And perhaps the only pro active thing that activist supporters can do is keep banging the drum on social media and wider media that the club is heading for bankruptcy - not as an alarmist panic but as a tactical move to send smoke signals to buyers. Think outside of our bubble for a while. If Leeds or West Ham or Forest or even Palace were about to go pop, the brand alone is enough for an organisation to come wading in.. I know our supporter base is third rate, but our brand isn't. We aren't an equivalent of Sheffield Wednesday or Derby or Portsmouth going bust - where nobody has heard of the clubs outside of UK. In terms of profile, we are much more Leeds and West Ham level.

Like any other business, pump 250m in and try to get 500m back in the next 5-7 years It's a business plan, that's all. Just on a bigger scale

I'm not trying to overdramatise, but I think the @Foxes Trust Reform needs to start preparing a contingency. It's hellava lot of skillsets required to start to pitch a 200m investment into something you don't even own or might not be available - but at least a clarion call needs to go out to any city fans or those in the business of football whose job it is to secure PE. I'm wondering if the first approach should be to sound out Tigers with a view to a Red Bull style sporting club

The future is entirely with KP, not the Khunt himself.. He needs a loan - or this mysterious share issue - for 100m to see us through the next two seasons. The club simply has run out of money. If KP loan (and I don't think they have the capacity anymore) then life will carry on.. If they don't, I suspect he still won't let go, players will not get paid and the club will close down. Leaving an entirely new club needing to be formed - as you say probably funded by PE - and the extremely difficult process of then trying to negotiate with KP for access to the stadium. I'd imagine any newly formed club entity will happily let seagrave go.

Treat this with caution as I used ai to check the land registry... It seems seagrave is divvied up into sub plot parcels, owned by multiple KP subsidiaries.. As terraloon says, it's on the club accounts but I'd be highly surprised if the club owns it. Maybe they own one of the 'plots' just to pass it off as club owned.

No. And yes.

Well, you poo pooed the reports of a 70m loss about an hour before it was released and then your posts suggest it's all ok, as 70m is still PSR compliant.. The real point is PSR is the least of our problems. We are months away from going out of existence..

It's a struggle to see where the revenue comes from if we stay up. The club has run out of money. And for the first time ever, they've more or less admitted it.. Never mind! Strictly will still be on and at least we'll best the traffic

Around 200 care enough to protest. Ok, there's always the silent majority. Especially in a meek, weak, beta, apologetic city/county such as Leicester.. But 200? From say, around 55000 supporters

Best post on thread

Correct. You don't make a billion pounds from flogging toblerones and Gordon's gin at an airport sold in baht Vichai gambled and leveraged his business to the absolute max and more.

Howling with laughter too at the whole situation this time last year. We're talking close to the level of tears rolling down cheeks and convulsions, so funny he finds it all

What an odd take

They did, past tense, inject cash. But the large financial doping stopped around 2020 KP /likely picked up the tab for running at a loss for a while after and as you say, eventually converted those debts to equity. As for seagrave,.it doesn't add up. KP had stopped investing in the club at that point, desperately needed Macquirie to inject cash into the bank accounts for every PL season secured and every transfer. Yet they spunked 100m of readies on seagrave? Someone/something paid for seagrave but I can't believe it was KP. Plus, this notion that the land of seagrave has been divided then parcelled up into multiple ownerships at the land registry. The real owners are hiding in amongst all that abracadabra.

I always felt that they - Whelan - listened, but seemed to revel in it. The impression was the club enjoyed rejecting the feedback as they felt, that feedback was from the type of supporter Whelan despised and the type of supporter they preferred,. fully supported the ticketing sh1tshow

Same mentality of those too frightened to leave a job they hate, then at 65 get a carriage clock and a card signed half heartedly by 8 colleagues and an HR nobody on behalf of the directors.

Yet I clearly and absolutely remember many fans and many on this board continually slagging Madders and Youri off. Barnes was often groaned at in the ground. And full disclosure and for balance, I admit to being fed up with KDH at that time, who I thought was second rate.

I'll gladly be wrong on this, but if we are talking about Macquirie, it isn't a secured loan on the usual sense. I've banged on and in about this, so apologise to those who've read this point before. The EPL are contractually due to pay us money - this June just past and next June.. As it is contractually due and pretty much certain we'll get it, the club has in essence sold those payments to Macquirie In return Macquirie have given us the money in advance The security comes from Macquirie insisting that, should the EFL fold and not pay them, City need to pay them back instead. Meaning the only chance Macquirie come with daggers is if the EFL goes bankrupt - almost impossible. Which all means, this coming June, when we should have been getting 45m from the EPL, we instead get nothing. Macquirie gets it. Which means, I think we are well and truly fcked unless KP start financing the club again - something they haven't done for a good 8 years.

Most be like herding kittens for Davies tho, chasing the Khunt around Bangkok to sign off on the accounts he'd prepped months prior. With all his busy schedule tik tokking, polo playing and screaming with laughter at relegations, he's a hard guy to pin down

My original take on Whelan leaving was to avoid potential personal liability and criminal charges. Reinforced when this patsy from Thailand was brought in That idea has take a tumble tho since the new appointment of the chief accountant as CEO - unless of course he's not actually on the board of directors. If that were to be the case, can CEOs face personal criminal charges for trading whilst insolvent?

What an interesting post. I'd add that there's a multiplier with Leicester. We are a very introverted City and County. This surely exaggerates / reinforces the conformist character traits you mention Leicester people seem to thrive off stoicism. That soothing self insurance of predicting bad weather around the corner. I think for many, they consider to protest against KP is an admission of weakness.

Probably a coincidence right? They couldn't have conceived the idea, instructed architects and contractors on the basis Ed Woodward was going to ring up and offer a word record fee. Something doesn't stack up with the whole thing. As I mentioned above, my best guess is KP buying an asset on behalf of some spurious, nefarious fund
