lgfualol Posted 18 June 2017 Posted 18 June 2017 What's the 2nd Belgian league like? Physical? Would be interesting to see who we send there on loan, if we do.

In the picture from left to right are: Dirk Robbeets (politician), Carl Devlies (politician), Louis Tobback (mayor of Leuven), Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha (?), Chris Vandebroeck (interim chairman after the previous guy resigned last september following the third-party ownership scandal), Khun Top (apparently going to lead OHL now Just pointing out, Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha and Top are the same person. The person you've named as Aiyawatt (4th from left) is actually Top's dad, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, who is the owner of LCFC

This also confirms our feeling that OH Leuven is more of a little toy for the "son of the rich guy". Edited 18 June 2017 by Pelotas

They're not our feeder club, they're a club owned by the same family. Our owners aren't the Pozzos. I don't see players flying back and forth between the clubs. Our owners like a club to be self sufficient and all the press made it clear that this was Top's project, Top flying the nest. A billionaire businessman's coming of age. Don't see us likely to exploit them or get much from them. You may well have it right, but let's just imagine that Leuven unearth a gem that Man Utd and Chelsea are sniffing around. Where do you think he'll end up?

Top is our chairman too and pretty much always involved here. His dad arrives for little periods of time.

Or they'd end up here, prove themselves in this league and get sold for a much higher price that benefits both teams later on. People expecting a huge flow of talent to suddenly appear are kidding themselves. To start with the deal will see a flow the other way to help develop our young talent hopefully also benefiting them as a team. 1

wattolcfc Posted 19 June 2017 Posted 19 June 2017 I wouldn't be surprised to see a pre-season friendly against this lot next summer
brucey Posted 20 June 2017 Posted 20 June 2017 Slightly concerned about the owners/board 'splitting' their time between the two clubs.. Less time/attention here means if things start to unravel it may take longer for them to pick up on it. Like last season where they were perhaps a bit distracted from the rapidly deterioriating situation here, due to being busy sorting out things in Thailand after their king's death. But hey, apparently they are supreme multitaskers, simultaneously managing a large football club, various racing/polo horses, and a multibillion dollar company. Maybe they'll be okay with juggling one more thing.

It really won't be a toy for Top to play with. Our owners seem to be completely different to any others. He will run it to be successful and eventually self-sufficient although that will be a lot harder without the tv riches of the Premier League. We had our own concerns about them when they took over especially with the Sousa and Sven debacles but they learnt their lessons, took a slower approach and delivered more than we could have hoped for. It'll take time to get all the scouting, training and medical facilities in place and the right staff to run them as well as the right manager but you'll get there eventually. You're in good hands, trust Top and Whelan (Rudkin is still a source of debate), get behind your team and enjoy the occasionally bumpy ride. 5
