Livid Posted 9 August 2015 Posted 9 August 2015 I buy the programme occasionally, to kill some time as I've got there too early. The price hasn't gone up in years( never going to be 10p increases) and I quite like reading Vichai's/Top's column. They seem quite private people and it's the only time they really communicate. For what they have done for this club he could put his face on every other page.
willie-bell-in-rothley Posted 9 August 2015 Posted 9 August 2015 Nowhere near right on your on your figures, you are making out its £400 per game per person. I personally don't mind him featuring on the front cover with say the manager or the captain. LCFC is not his club, just the other day one of the thais said that they are custodians of the club. I'm an old romantic, I still think the club belongs to the fans, the fans collectively contribute 30,000 X £400 X 20 in ticket sales, tens of thousands via merchandise, whatever the fees city get via Sky and other media outlets = £250 million per year, have I got that about right? Could someone tell me, apart from that money, what have the owners put in? Bear in mind, £250M is one Premiership year.
desertfox2 Posted 9 August 2015 Posted 9 August 2015 If he keeps doing what he's been doing for the club I wouldn't care if he built his own statue out of the ground. Think I might get a Thai red curry to celebrate yesterday's win, too many singas last night. Holiday in Phuket coming up. Gotta love the Thais
digitalalba Posted 9 August 2015 Author Posted 9 August 2015 Gate receipts per season around 13million. Sky money 70 million. The fans are not the main contributors. Add in the commercial side and you are close to 86 mill per season. We should have made a tidy profit last season and should be in the black again this campaign. The owners invested more than a hundred million to get us to where we are. Let's see if they take dividends or continue to invest. £86m last season, considerably less in the previous years. £200m from fans in total?By my reckoning and your figures, the fans have collectively invested more? Their hundred million is on top of our £200m? Have the owners funded the advert name of the ground, or is it called king power because it's an add-on to their little empire?

I reckon you need a calculator ( on top of other things) Will just assume you're being a bit dim for the sake of effect rather than anything deliberate.

Rincewind Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Religious people have no problem praising an egostictical god so why not the millionaire owner of a successful Premier League Football team? At least we are sure he is real.
Guest Bob Hazels shorts Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Not read all posts but some weird stuff on here. I understand the Chairman makes a statement first game and his image on the front cover signified that. I know its not Thailand but this is how they do things and whilst it his ball and we benefit long may it continue. If G-LCFC fell out of the sky beyond the sadness I'd be very fearful Enjoy it.

At least we are sure he is real.Does he think he's more important to the long term future of LCFC than the fans, probably.Would he sell LCFC for a substantial profit, probably. Would we, NO, NEVER, NO.

SomalianFox15 Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 May seem like a stupid question but which one is top? Vichai or Aiyawaat?

sdb Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 I'd say our owners are anything but egotistical. Rarely make a fuss, work hard behind the scenes and have been highly successful, without blowing their own trumpet. Crap thread (although i've only read about 4 posts in it).
The Doctor Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Does he think he's more important to the long term future of LCFC than the fans, probably. Would he sell LCFC for a substantial profit, probably. Would we, NO, NEVER, NO. And because it's conceivable that he might sell, that makes him a bad owner? Don't be daft.
digitalalba Posted 10 August 2015 Author Posted 10 August 2015 And because it's conceivable that he might sell, that makes him a bad owner? Don't be daft. No, because he'd sell because he isn't a city fan, at least not like we are.
Captain... Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 No, because he'd sell because he isn't a city fan, at least not like we are. I really wish you weren't.
BlueJoe Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Hate to tell you all but if I had just won the polo title this guy has id be bragging too...
The Doctor Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 No, because he'd sell because he isn't a city fan, at least not like we are. And that's a bad thing because? There are decisions fans wouldn't take that have to be taken for long term success (for instance selling a fans favourite who's clearly on the decline), likewise decisions fans would make that shouldn't be (e.g. bringing back O'Neill) - not being a city fan from birth isn't a problem, and you'd be mad to think he doesn't have some emotional investment in us now

We would call the stadium 'the foxes'? Not some duty free company. Would we have gambled on Sven? Would we allow fans to celebrate promotion on the pitch, even if its illegal.

Would we allow fans to celebrate promotion on the pitch, even if its illegal. Why does it actually matter who is on the cover? Unlikely we'd have reinstated him after the first one, so you can easily turn that round and say we'd not still be in the division if the fans were in charge -and that's true, we'd still be hoofing around league one with the return of heskey and Hume That's a god awful name for the stadium, but this ones always been corporately sponsored, so where's the laying into Tim Davies? Who knows, quite possibly. So you think it's the owners decision that people don't celebrate on the pitch rather than the likes of the police?
Guest MattP Posted 11 August 2015 Posted 11 August 2015 Of course they are egotistical, you have to be to want to own a football club. The programme thing was just weird really, I would have been 99% sure Ranieri would be on the front first game.
stripeyfox Posted 11 August 2015 Posted 11 August 2015 It didn't bother me who is on the cover, but I will say this - I don't think having the chairman on the cover will increase sales. We walked past the booth with my son and I asked if he wanted a programme. He took one look at it and said "no thanks" I am 100% sure if Vardy or Casper was on the cover he'd have wanted one.
