Thai owners chase gold and glory after Leicester's remarkable run

Didn't they sack Sousa to bring in Sven ??

 

It depends Mandaric was still Chairman at that point and it always felt like they had taken over the financial reins and Mandy was still running the club the for them as part of the transition.

 

The way I remember it, it was still very much Mandy in charge and one of the last things he did was sack Sousa and appoint Sven, then he left in November.

 

With the blessing of the owners presumably

 

 

 

In August 2010, following agreement on a three-year shirt sponsorship deal with duty-free retailers the King Power Group, Mandarić sold the club to a Thai-led consortium named Asian Football Investments (AFI) fronted by King Power Group's Vichai Raksriaksorn.[29] Mandarić, an investor in AFI,[30] was retained as club chairman.[31] On 1 October 2010, after a poor start that saw Leicester bottom of the Championship with only one win out of the first 9 league games, Paulo Sousa was sacked by the club with immediate effect.[32] Two days later, Sven-Göran Eriksson, who had been approached by the club after the 6–1 loss to then bottom-of-the-table Portsmouth two weeks earlier, was appointed as his replacement, signing a two-year contract with the club.[33] On 10 February 2011, Vichai Raksriaksorn, part of the Thai-based Asia Football Investments consortium, was appointed new chairman of the club after Mandarić left in November to take over Sheffield Wednesday.[34]

Everybody has heard of Coca Cola but they still advertise.

Certainly not disputing that. I just wonder if their plan isn't to expand their brand globally, then whether they're silly to pass up the opportunity of big money sponsorship
