“Apparently 1.5m going up to 3m is really good going from us. Home grown player who gave years of service and we've got a decent amount for him. Best of luck Culls, league one will hopefully be a bit more forgiving.” From top poster on Swansea FB page

You would like to think it can’t be any worse than the shit that was served up last season, but the worry is, that it will have be but just against worse opposition. Which I can live with, if it’s good young players playing who are developing along the way and might in turn help the future playing squads have more quality should they end up being sold for a nice lump. If the team ends up being filled with loans and older journeyman type players, then it’s down to the manager and jury will be out a lot quicker if the team struggles.

Who cares if it means out with more shit from the last 3 years

What? The former didn’t get a chance the latter was here for 5 seasons and went on a run of about 1 goal in 50 appearances across 2 leagues. What questions exactly need to be answered by people at the club. You do realise he left the club the same age Vardy made his Prem debut

Isnt that the case for most strikers that flop over 5 seasons, it would be hard to not try or care over 5 years

That happened in June 25, the last debt conversion happened 6 months prior.

My point is why would he need his family to bail him out. He has been the major shareholder of a company worth over 2 billion for the last 8 odd years and prior to that a smaller shareholder entitled to a smaller share of all profits. Before Vichai died the company made £237m in profit in one year even with a major down turn in business and the last reported $70m profit it gives some idea of the 55% percentage of money Top now accumulates annually. He isn’t walking around cap in hand. So the likelihood that he needs to be bailed out by King Power (a decision he makes anyway) when £94m was from them and £30m was from him makes absolutely no sense whatsoever

So his been bailed out by the family business, which he own 55% of. its not like its a 10% share holding and the other family members are helping. He doesn’t need to be bailed out when he could essentially make that decision anyway. You seem to speculate like you know the inner workings of their finances. I’m just going off what’s written on the club website

Doesn’t really make sense, they pull rank on him by giving him money? They don’t get to have the final say on that decision. Plus the last debt to equity conversion, came from 2 different revenue streams Top and KP

He is the major share holder, how do they pull rank on him

What’s that got to do with now, we are in the league below and the result against Southampton looks a lot better retrospectively given what they achieved. The same with us, hardly set the world alight with a further 2 wins did we. If the chairman was selling everything that moves to rack up money, it makes little sense spending millions on a a manager that needed convincing when he could’ve got any old cheap shitbag

By your logic they might as well have saved millions and had king as Manager or someone else in-house

Shame he didn’t do a bit more in the final 11 games, certainly regarded as a key player

Don’t forget it was vardy holding him back

its nothing new but it was in response to the questions asked, At the time, wiping out that £124m in January 2025 was almost certainly done to clear the decks and make the club a much more attractive proposition for outside investment or a minority sale, little did they know it would be followed by a catastrophic double relegation to League One By converting a combined £318m into equity since 2022 alone, both King Power as a company and Top personally have permanently trapped that cash inside the club. As the majority shareholder of the group, Top bears the absolute brunt of this, but it's a massive hit for the whole corporate family . Selling the entire club now for a (rumored on here) £140m means walking away with less than half of the money they collectively pumped in over the last few years. It is an absolute financial disaster for King Power and the family, and there's no way anyone involved is happy with that valuation. I have little sympathy, he didn’t even pull the trigger on Rudkin late last season. .

Jan 25

Leicester City Football Club today announces two new issues of shares to King Power International and Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, relieving the Club of a combined total of £124m of debt to its parent company and owner.” as published in the Leicester City Official Release. 94 KP/30 Top

Probably quicker to google than ask This terrace anthem originated as "Will Grigg's on fire" during Euro 2016 before England fans adapted it for Leicester City and England striker Jamie Vardy.

Same thing isn’t it, majority share holder (58%)it’s effectively his and his sisters (9%) future once his mum dies

For fans, but for a owner that put in £124m 18 months ago it is.

Wednesday owner David Storch fuelled the Vardy fire by posting a simple line: "I'm hearing 'Freed From Desire' in my head all day long!".

I know it’s somewhat of an outlier because of their commercial success off the field, but Wrexham were reportedly valued at £340m before further investment was made.

No smoke without fire, remember when reluctant bellend said a local consortium were in “early discussions” to buy the training ground and ground as part of asset restructuring with potential further investment further down the line. That was prior to getting relegated.
