They also own hotels, football groups and just last year paid $450 million to own most of Thailand’s tallest building. the King power name will live on even if the Dury free suffers for a while. Yes I live in Thailand and I was at their hotel in Bangkok a few weeks ago. It was busy but nothing like before, King Power will be fine but the country of Thailand are in a very tough time, the economy is in very big trouble and politically its probably even worse. King Power is connected very tightly with political members in Thailand and many are being very closely looked at the moment. Trust me this is a very corrupted country and King Power is no different. This will not affect our football club to much but I'm sure at the moment Top has a lot more to worry about than Leicester City. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they would sell Leicester, right now I feel would be a bad time to sell, only if they are super desperate and I'm sure they are not. Whatever they value the club I'm sure no one would offer them that price at the moment with everything going on in football / the world. Football has always been a risky bussiness to get into and mostly at the moment. Really can't imagine Top or King Power group, selling the club /stadium etc, considering the incredible imotional attachments they have to the ground and surrounding area etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 19 August 2020 Share Posted 19 August 2020 I'd not rule out the possibility that King power have further aligned themselves with the thai government to help steer Thailand through this financial uncertainty. There will definitely be something in it for them long term too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry my bad I did not mean the next 12 to 18 months, all together it will be closed for 12 to 18. Its already been 6 months, and they will be closed till next year so by that time it will be around 12 months. It will not surprise me if they push it back to 18 months all together. You can visit Thailand now, but only if you are willing to pay for a elite visa, Thailand are happy to have tourist back but only the rich ones, no more cheap backpackers. Thailand is trying to change the type of tourist who enters their country Edited 19 August 2020 by Vindaloo FOX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesta Legend Posted 19 August 2020 Share Posted 19 August 2020 1 hour ago, st martin said: Pie in the sky. I really believe that Leicester do not have the cash. IMO the owners have taken money out of the club to put into their own failing business. They are now borrowing from an Australian loan company on future earnings and must be at their limit. I really do not believe they have money for new signings and that most of what we are reading is just newspaper conjecture and rumour. You use the word conjecture in a post full of it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry5 Posted 19 August 2020 Share Posted 19 August 2020 From the little I've seen of him, he appears to be a very good technical player, with his strongest asses the quality of his final ball into the box. However, I'm slightly sceptical on this one given his lack of pace and, dare I say it, his 'limited' physical attributes... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
