Do you think Top is looking to sell the Club

If you are building the club up ready for a sale surely you would see through the extension to the stadium and the other development. The lack of spending is probably down to FFP or King Power being in a bad situation.

Surely reducing the investment now puts the value of the assets at risk. You'd think they'd still push through securing the planning permission for the stadium development as it'd enhance the value/appeal to anyone considering buying the club. Likewise, if corners are being cut in terms of transfer funds, I'd imagine the clubs assets would be worth a damn sight less following relegation versus £40-50m to keep us up. 

 

If I remember correctly didn't Mike Ashley take a similar approach with Newcastle? Wanted out but stopped investment which led to them being relegated and him having to hold on to the club for another year as any interested buyer's weren't willing to match his valuation of the club.

KP could use the planning ticket for the expansion as a sales chip.

They could keep the ground and the training ground out of the sale. Bit of a bastard move but there's nothing to stop it

We'd be quite attractive for potential buyers I think.

 

Best training ground on the planet

Strong recent track record of winning things

Good potential in our academy set up with Alves, Braybrooke and Nelson

Stadium expansion plans drawn up

Large catchment area

Well located (central & London's an hour away on the train)

The basis of a good squad

You've got to find an owner that has £500m + to buy the club though otherwise we are bought with debt and that's an unnerving prospect for a club that for all the outrageously good we have done in the last decade still can be at risk of potential relegation and financial chaos. 

 

I always ask why clubs are bought for huge figures, what's in it for the owners as it can't be money and if it is for money then the club and fan base suffer as a result.

I am buying it. And I make the stadium a complete singing session. Away allocation becomes 1,000. Filbert Fox is the new manager with Lloyd Dyer as assistant. Be fun for a month until the players aren't paid

It’s not just about the purchase price - it’s also about having the wherewithal to then invest a few hundred million on top 

 

unless you’re selling to a person or entity with massive cash assets (sig more than £5bn) I reckon it’s going to be a struggle

I would have thought if it is for money then you are better off investing in other things, unless you do a leveraged buyout of Man Utd (a rare example) where you can pay for the purchase by borrowing against Club assets and having the Club to pay off your debts because of the success and the income stream they have. And yes, that example also proves your theory!

Anyone fancy a night in the Woodies in Rothley this weekend?

The premier league will be a cash cow within a decade 

 

streaming live games will generate an absolute fortune for the league (as long as the distribution structure remains across all 20 and doesn’t become club by club )

Can you switch the Kop with the family stand?

Top is not selling. We are in a bit of a slump

things will change somehow they have to.

it’s time for a collective siege mentality.

Anyone know for sure if these three have signed their professional contracts?

Our current predicament might mean they wait and see for as long as possible. Eek!
