Chelsea never revealed how involved they are with Vitesse Arnhem either. They framed it as nothing but a "close working relationship", but everyone knows that's bollocks. Lets put it this way, keeping the two things separate and painting it like that is probably the best thing and no conflicts can arise should rules change, or should the teams ever meet in Europe. The two clubs will help each other where they can if it is of benefit to both. They'd be total morons not to, and we know they aren't morons.

It's not like the Thais are going to dedicate equal time and resources to them is it? I don't expect their fans to take exception to it particularly and it's likely to benefit both parties, but you couldn't blame them if they were at least slightly sceptical about such a move.

China Black Posted 5 May 2017 Posted 5 May 2017 I disagree with the concept of feeder clubs. I wouldn't like it of LCFC was a feeder to a bigger club.

ozleicester Posted 5 May 2017 Posted 5 May 2017 So we are losing him from the club? "Dont sell Srivaddhanaprabha........Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, i just dont think you understand...."

I think the term 'Feeder Club' makes it sound worse than it is It'd simply be that talented academy prospects needing game experience etc would be loaned out to them, giving them exposure to the professional game, benefiting both the player/parent club and the feeder gaining talented players Then in return any hot prospects from them may be loaned to us for experience or better coaching, or us given first proposal at buying should they sell And as well it expands their King Power brand which is what they want after all
brucey Posted 5 May 2017 Posted 5 May 2017 I hope it is actually a veiled feeder club scheme as some people are saying. If the article is taken at face value, it means Top will be resigning from vice chairman here to become chairman there. Less involvement of the owners here is not a good thing.

From the article it sounds like Top is leaving Leicester to run OHL. We also know our owners like a club to be self sufficient and intelligently run so they don't need to worry about us pumping billions in to Leicester but not Leuven. Plus, Leuven will have its own directors and CEO and whatever that actually manage the club day to day. Their Susan Whelan etc. I'm not really sure why anyone would be particularly upset about having our owners invest in them, by the standards of football chairmen in general they're pretty ****ing sensational tbh. And if they get a few of our lads on loan that'd otherwise go to the championship, I don't they'll be that upset either.

According to Belgian newspaper HLN, Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, the son of Leicester owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha and the club’s vice-chairman, has offered “a multiple of £2m” to purchase Leuven, who were relegated from the Jupiler League last season. That has yet to be accepted, although a delegation from Belgium has been invited to watch Leicester’s game against Watford at the King Power Stadium on Saturday. It is understood that Srivaddhanaprabha would like to rebuild Leuven, which is located in a vibrant student city, to act as a feeder club for Leicester and eventually challenge for qualification for European competition. He is believed to have promised to provide a substantial transfer budget and aspires to build a brand new stadium and new training complex amid competition from a group of Chinese investors, the Shanghai Naisi Investment Management Centre. They submitted an offer of £2m to purchase Leuven in January and are thought to have exclusivity until the end of June, although they have yet to respond to questions posed by Leuven’s board and the city council, meaning Srivaddhanaprabha’s offer could prove more attractive. Last month, Manchester City announced the latest addition to their growing portfolio of clubs after completing the acquisition of a second division club in Uruguay.

I'm not sure if they would even both be allowed to enter European compeition at the same time. Currently RB Leipzig and RB Salzburg are having this issue where they are having to prove to UEFA that they aren't owned by the same person or too intertwined. Rory Smith wrote an article about this (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/03/sports/soccer/room-for-two-red-bulls-soccer-success-complicates-champions-league.html) which says this about the rules: "Under UEFA statutes, teams owned by the same company, sponsor or individual — or those that share staff members or resources — are forbidden from taking part in the two continental competitions organized by European soccer’s governing body. Since some teams eliminated from the Champions League’s group stages drop into the Europa League’s later rounds, it is not enough that the two teams merely stay out of the same competition. Article 5 of UEFA’s regulations for the Champions League — titled “Integrity of the Competition” — states that in such circumstances, the team finishing higher in its domestic league would take precedence. That would mean Salzburg, as the Austrian champion, would be in and Leipzig, the runner-up in Germany, would be out. Salzburg has qualified for the Champions League for the past five years; each time, it has failed to advance to the group stage." So really if one club was owned by someone and the other by their son that may well violate that rule

That's true but the rule is slightly more complicated for example resources is pretty vague it could be players, it could be financial or it could even just be using the same equipment. I am not saying this will happen at all, I just thought it would be worth mentioning, I mean the owners are smart guys they won't make a basic mistake like this I don't think

The Doctor Posted 5 May 2017 Posted 5 May 2017 2 hours ago, Ric Flair said: We are apparently on the verge of taking over OHL in Belgium's 2nd division who'll become a feeder club to us. Not sure how I feel about this. I suppose it means we can sign young South Americans and Africans and let them play there until they can gain a work permit. WE ARE MASSIVE That wouldn't necessarily work any more would it? Clubs send players to Belgium on loan for three years, they get Belgian citizenship then get a work permit via free movement of workers from the EU - that's not necessarily going to be possible post 2019.
