I've told you before It's good money gone if we let them stay

But if we go long we just lose it

‘Most successful club in EFL history’ The brochure emphasises that Leicester is one of only five clubs to have won all three major domestic trophies since 2000. It adds that Leicester are “the most successful club in EFL history” and “the third largest English city with only one club … deeply embedded in Leicester’s fabric with a dynamic, broad-based and highly loyal fanbase.” Leicester are said to be “well-positioned for promotion” and represent “a rare opportunity to acquire a club with an excellent track record of winning promotions to higher divisions.” In the brochure, OH Leuven are described as “an established and synergistic collaboration with Leicester City. Multi-club ownership structure offers distinct advantages across talent development, recruitment and analytics.” Leicester’s category one academy with a proven record for developing talent, and the graduates that have been sold for more than £250m over the last five years, is also detailed to entice interest.

A brochure detailing the sale of Leicester City and all its assets has been sent to potential investors. Global investment bank Citigroup has drafted the brochure, seen by The Athletic, titled Project Lineup, which details Leicester’s assets, including its women’s team, academy, King Power Stadium and the £100million Seagrave training base they moved to six years ago. Belgian sister club OH Leuven is also featured in the list of assets available. A source close to the process, speaking anonymously to protect relationships, has told The Athletic that the Srivaddhanaprabha family, Leicester’s owners, are looking for $300m (£222m) for the entire portfolio, but a deal is more likely to be done at closer to $200m (£148m) due to the club’s recent drop into League One — English football’s third tier — and heavy recent losses. Over the last four accounting reports since 2021, Leicester have recorded losses of £92.5m, £89.7m, £19.4m and most recently £71.1m as the club has slipped from the top eight of the Premier League to suffer three relegations in the last four years. Despite the club’s recent troubles, it is expected to attract interested parties because of extensive assets, which also include the Belvoir Drive training ground now used by the women’s team and the land the club acquired for £11.6m outside the King Power Stadium that was earmarked for development as part of a stadium expansion plan. The plans were shelved after Leicester’s relegation from the Premier League at the end of the 2022-23 season. The property portfolio is valued at £204m, as of 2025, broken down into the stadium’s £74m valuation, Seagrave at £121m and Belvoir Drive at £9m. To attract potential investors, Project Lineup details Leicester’s successes throughout its history but more importantly since the Srivaddhanaprabha family and parent company King Power International bought the club for around £35m from Milan Mandaric in 2010. This includes the 2016 Premier League title and the club’s first FA Cup triumph in 2021. Leicester offered no comment on the distribution and contents of the brochure when approached by The Athletic.

Best Leicester 11 of your lifetime (in terms of ability)
Dorkingfox replied to BenTheFox's topic in Leicester City Forum
I think a lot of the player from the early to mid 60s were probably technically better than most of the other decades, they did win a cup in 64 lost to Chelsea in 65, should have done the double in 63 and were unlucky in 61 The 15/16 team was probably the best in the clubs history and the FA cup team was pretty good. We probably had the two best goalkeepers around, both World Class in Banks and Shilton. The full backs in the 60/70s were excellent, R Norman, Nish, Rofe, Whitworth andvRodrigues. I think David Gibson was the best midfielder in the league, he would stand alongside of Kante, Weller Izzet and Cambiaso The best front men were Vardy, Worthington and Lineker, plus Collymore We had some great winger, Glover, Guppy, Mahrez, Albrighton, now we have Fatawu and Monga There have been sone great central defenders, Cross, Sjoberg, Steve Walsh, John O’Neil, Russell Osman, Matt Elliot, Wes, Maguire and J Evans. There are many more, depends on your main era of support -

Nothing wrong with Mark White, done a good job, he is entitled to be a loud mouth, like many managers😁 -
Skipp is awful

Yes not a nice person but a good footballer
-
Some great players from the late 60s and 70s Sjoberg Cross Nish Alan Clarke Banks and Shilton better than Schmeichel B Roberts Gibson D Rofe Weller Glover

But if it gets us up, then we can look at more long term managers
