Babylon Posted 31 May 2019 Posted 31 May 2019 33 minutes ago, st albans fox said: You could be right babs ..... the point I’m making is that surely it’s better to add to the v good players we already have and see where we can get to next season rather than replacing one or two and hoping we improve .... we can dispose of those assets to balance the books next summer by selling chilly and Harry if the theory doesn’t work .... Depends on the owners willingness to take risks. No guarantee what are high value assets now will be high value assets then. Also leaves you in the position of not having money to replace players next summer if it’s all used now on other positions.
Shane Posted 31 May 2019 Posted 31 May 2019 Updated wish list now we’re spending big: Tielemans David Brooks Daniel James Che Adams Reality: Scott Brown, Ibe & Andy Carroll
Nicolo Barella Posted 31 May 2019 Posted 31 May 2019 Great news, delighted for Top and family, the repercussions can only be good for Leicester too.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 31 May 2019 Posted 31 May 2019 Excellent stuff, nice to know we aren’t going to have any problems there now and can relax

We sold the stake in air Asia back to the family we purchased it from after about a year and a half for a profit.

Crazy Kop Corner Posted 1 June 2019 Posted 1 June 2019 Appears to be another great achievement for Top. We really are so lucky to have another great man at the helm.
Chrysalis Posted 1 June 2019 Posted 1 June 2019 Excellent news, fingers crossed they invest more now, but time will tell. Bear in mind if they planning to invest more I expect they will wait for the confirmation.
st albans fox Posted 1 June 2019 Posted 1 June 2019 Top looked good in his top hat ! hope he can be leading the winner in in a few minutes...... whoops ......wrong thread !

Monsell1976 Posted 1 June 2019 Posted 1 June 2019 It’s good news for us, but I might be wrong but don’t king power have a hotel empire as well as just relying on the duty free And a quick research they own 39 % share of Asia aviation, these are clever business men, and have bits and bobs every where, plus there personal wealth, I think we are in good hands even if they lost the contracts
string the Eskimo Posted 1 June 2019 Posted 1 June 2019 And to think some people moaned because they did a bit of sucking up to their King at the ground. Who's laughing now? Well, done Top.

They have investment in the Pullman hotel Bangkok and own the MahaNakhon Building as shown earlier in the thread. If they’d lost the duty free concession they would still be profitable as an organisation, but nothing like the 2 billion US dollar revenue per annum they have through duty-free.
LinekersLugs Posted 2 June 2019 Posted 2 June 2019 Sorry to temper things but estimate are they will be making upto 40% less profit , they had to go balls deep into the margins to get the business infact the bid is based around 55-60m using the airport , they are worried about the other airports as despite being 20% of the total revenue they are 40% of the current profit owing to the cheaper and lex expensive retail floor space , let’s relax and see how this plays out , it’s good but it’s a reduction not an increase in our owners income , which is still shit loads

There probably always was the intention of keeping king power, but making them compete for it in the way they did has adjusted the profit share. As well as giving the illusion of a fairer bidding process to those members of the public who didnt like king powers monopoly.
