Paninistickers

Mate, this has got to be up there with the worst takes I've ever seen on here. Thomas wouldn't stand out as anything other than average in a Sunday league team. There were legitimate and serious discussions last season about him being the worst player in the club's post war history. Additionally, he couldn't look less of a leader of men. On top of that, several players have suggested in the past he's as thick as pigshit.

... the ol' king power business-as-usual-forever-in-our-hearts-we-promote splutters and lurches into action.. the 'glamour' friendly against a team nowhere near as glamorous as even we are. Next up. The New kit. 'lucky' Blue shorts and garish tribute to top temple gold daubed everywhere

Is she? She has some unorthodox business methods on the charge sheet. Turning away sponsorships. Refusing to put match tickets on sale. Outgoings exceeding incomings.

Totally likeable guy

Gabriel Clark. Is he our most unsung sports broadcaster? He's been doing the same low key job (a job most of us would kill for) on the equivalent of 30k a year since forever. He needs more kudos!

Fanzone doesn't quite fit the vibe. I always think of that nonsense at Wembley Box Park when I think of fanzone. This has a Glyndebourne feel, lol. As if you are watching the proms with a picnic. It's quite low key and rather pleasant. But, it's Leicester. An economically struggling city totally neglected by central government other than them shooing every immigrant on earth our way. You have to accept that there are some characters in the park. Not many. But some.

I've moved into a co working space in town. Been over a decade since I worked in town. What a pleasant suprise. I've been as guilty as anyone in assuming Leicester was lost. I've made an effort these last three weeks since working there to walk round town at lunch. It's very surprising. there's a low key continental cafe society vibe with the outdoor seating. There's more white people than I thought.. I mean,. I assumed it was down to say 5%. It's probs more like 2O% (which lets face it, is still very odd for a supposedly British city) .....it just needs a few more middle.class white people to come back. The city isn't lost to India and Somalia. Yet. Pleasant surprises have been *Volume of cool cafes - must be 20 really quite stylish places. With all the options, im.amazed anyone uses the hideous cafe Nero at Irish menswear *The art workshops around phoenix,.old mercury offices and curve. *The apartment blocks near curve. *The king Street cafe / co working area (forgot it's name) and area bottom of new walk....the new walk little park sqaures *Cathedral Square and the cobbled streets off shooting it *Jubilee Square world cup screen and chairs *Silver arcade & St Martins *Just out of city but the apartments behind the old great central And I mean this, although there are freaks about, I never, ever feel unsafe. Not once.

How long is the lock in? And with it being locked in what's actually being traded atm?

A rare piece of emotional intelligence and good judgement form the club. Basically a 'p1ss off, Rowett'

He doesn't deserve an announcement. He was unfit, unsuitable and under qualified for the job. He wore it like an ill fitting suit.. Even worse were his dismal attempts at intelligence. He tried to give off an air of someone well read, well researched. I'd love to know his IQ. No amount of garbage airport WH Smith self improvement books can bump up the the IQ

We are more skint that you thought.. With bills of between 55m-70m looming and projected incomings of around 14m, I'd say that is the purest definition of skint you will ever find..

It's just yet more evidence, if any more were needed, that it's business as usual down there. You can here the turnkey machinery being cranked up, spluttering into life. The managerless pre season bleep test socials. Play lower league Burton. Arrange home glamour friendly against European team less well known than ourselves Alienate half the playing staff, refuse low ball offers to sell them, and then reintroduce into squad on September 1st ...rinse and repeat

These things are a box ticking exercise for the club and a feel good busy body glow for the likes of Basin. I watched that podcast basin was on (during the FT elections) where he became really quite animated and excited in explaining some complicated convoluted pyramid of filtering feedback to the club. The classic parish council do gooder approach of being busy, doing nothing. The classic useful idiots. The Foxes Trust need to step up and stop playing the club at their own game of fudge and fuddle. They haven't been as muscular as I'd hoped the new board would be. Stop tapdancing to the club's absurd tunes and Issue statements,. open letters and calls to action about how the club should be run. Don't ask. Just do..Show the shambles of a club that a shadow cabinet of competency and good governance exists.

...Compared with City's, yes.

I think the county commercial and socials teams - normally so good - have made a boo boo with this 'barmy army' link up. There can't be a county supporter base further removed from that peculiar middle class 'army' that sit in fancy dress and bang out Jerusalem all day. We're unashamedly a bit more of a grounded support.

Khun can also refer to a specific lower-tier noble rank bestowed by the king. According to the ol' AI machine. Yes, his majesty was me being facetious. But Mr is pushing it too far the other way. And, at a guess, the context OPA meant it was in a deferential way.

Do some rudimentary googling and chatgpt and see the reports on the Thai property market. Institutional Thai investors would rather a block of apartments go to rack and ruin, unused, unloved,. unwanted....than admit they overpaid and sitting on a dud. Sound familiar? Administration and the club forcibly removed from this imbecile is the only way out of this mess.

Nice piece from Jordan Blackwell. A far cry from Bill Anderson despising the supporters and revelling in his cushy number. Also in Jordan's favour is, I think, not referring to the owner as 'his majesty' (khun) - a default position that Owen Palmer Atkins needs to learn.

Then, if he can't make everyday calls about how to run a business, he isn't a CEO. The same debate was discussed on the Susan Whelan thread. In her case, she either signed off on the financial mismanagement if the club, or, she was a puppet and was obliged to sign off under orders. Either way, that's behaviour unfit for the role of CEO

Yes, it has to be repaid, but it's covered. Money is owed to us - transfers and PL parachutes - but it won't now come to us. It bypasses us and the monies due go direct to Macquirie. The only way we are liable is if, say, the PL defaults on its payment. The club will have underwritten that risk. At which point Macquirie can ask us for what it's due. But that's an extremely unlikely scenario. Therefore the Macquirie debt isn't of pressing concern. Liquidity is. Back of fag packet maths, we will need around 40m-50m at least to function next season. I don't think we have it. And I can only guess they are relying (praying) on player sales to finance that. Additionally, and possibly the biggest existential risk we have, is we may well still owe instalments on Bilal, Hermansen, Mavididi, VK, Souttar, Skipp. This has been mentioned a couple of times in the media, Inc the Charlie Methven interview. My original point anyways is posters on here fearing 'the banks'. They are, in my view, the least of our problems.

This is a regime that won't even sell sponsorships to legitimate business for fear of its financial chicanery being seen by real people. There is no way they allow a legitimate investor to pore over the books. The only investment this club will seek is that from dodgy offshore funds via weird and obscure Crypto gambling Forex fronts

Sorry pal, but you're wrong on this. It's factoring. Invoice finance. We've basically sold the debt.. Businesses do that for cashflow issues. You are owed 100 quid and can't fanny about waiting for the client to pay, so you 'sell' the invoice for 90 quid to a bank. And additionally, you have to underwrite it (so as to avoid a business flogging a dodgy invoice to the factoring company where you know the client won't pay) You're gonna have to trust me on this. That's how it works. Technically yes we owe Macquirie the money because we have said, for example,.if Chelsea don't pay their bill - we will. Point is, the money we owe to Macquirie is covered. Liquidity is the issue. Not Macquirie.

We do and we don't. This has been discussed. The PL money and various transfer instalments owed to us go to them. We've basically guaranteed it, so technically yes, we owe them. In reality, it's only a problem if the PL or West Ham (Hermansen) or Stuttgart (Bilal) or Chelsea (KDH) go bust. So the Macquirie debts are basically irrelevant

Mate, we don't really owe any serious money to 'banks' - if indeed any. It's liquidity that's the issue. Pay the staff. The players. The taxman. Cutting the grass. Keeping the lights on (literally). And, perhaps most concerning, transfer fee instalments likely due on Bilal, Fatawu, Hermansen, Skipp, Stephy, Souttar, VK. Unless the owner has magically developed an IQ above SEN level and attracts 100m or so in cash, the club will be taken off him under insolvency laws representing the clubs and players and staff and taxman we can't pay. Not the banks.

Mate,.don't tempt me to rejoin this thread. I need no excuse as a rule. Still waiting for the planet of the apes end of civilisation that so many here gleefully predicted would happen if we didn't wear and ragged piece of paper in front of your mouth
