one of three things most probably.....

1. he will bribe someone to get another one;

2.if that doesn't work he will stick a horse's head in somebody's bed; or

3.if neither works he will give all his money to save the children and become a Buddhist monk!

 

mind you this is just speculation.

Think he will sell the club a couple of years or so after 2020 when his monopoly of duty free goods comes to an end 

Don't think that King Power would be investing £80m in a new training complex if that were the case.

True. However it all adds to the value of the club

I would think that the advertising related to owning the club would be more important if King Power end up with competition in the market.

He can get another round in then…. Haven’t had one for a bit!

I'd imagine he uses part of his billions to pay the right person to extend it or pays someone else to take the duty free rights in another country that has similar revenue that wants his investment. Anyone that can run basically the most expensive shop in Thailand and become the 388th richest man in the world on the back of it will have something up his sleeve. No worries.

He could sign on Universal credit

I still believe the shadowy AIG are the true investors at this club. We are destined to never find out about them though...

Who are AIG?

I'm sure there was a mysterious investor known as the "Asian Investment Group" that was sprouted about in the early days. Rumour had it we were collectively worth more than you could imagine

 

Saying that a quick Google and I can't find any trace of them so maybe I have the words mixed up or named them completely wrong.

 

Interestingly I did stumble;e across this from the Guardian released a while ago... Shows that there's more going on in the background that we might realise.

He's not even the richest person at Leicester City, that honour belongs to Faiq Bolkiah who plays for our U19s, I believe

AFAIK, the Thai's bought 80% & the investment group bought 20% from Manderic

King Power then brought 100% as part of the equity for debt deal.... netting the investors a small profit I'd imagine
