King Power Out

Increasingly convinced that it’s simply the business culture he and KP come from which says they must have approval on everything. They simply can’t do minority ownership because they would rather cut their nose to spite their face about it. 
 

The respect is line reeks of nonsense, it’s about power and being perceived to be strong. If the structure says as it does we heading the way of Cardiff, Reading, Wednesday (and don’t think Wolves be far behind). There’s a pattern there 

This would make sense. East Asian ownership has been crap for Birmingham and West Brom too.

You have to remember things changed for the worst for the Club after the tragedy of the Crash. Gone was the Man who owned everything and could make things happen by clicking his fingers.

Now the Club is run by a Board of Directors. Top is just the Chairman. Now while that titile carries a lot of weight, He's still controlled by and answerable to the Board.

 

That's a massive change for the Club, Even more so when 3 of them are women who probably don't understand football.

It's my guess that Top is possibly preparing a pathway towards a future buy out from KP.  Which would be the best outcome going forward.

Top’s been the sole owner of LCFC since 2019 according to companies house before that it was King Power

As usual proving your handle is the perfect foxestalk oxymoron.  

 

I can think of three women I know personally who understand football better than you do, judging solely on some of the tripe you post on this forum.

So true. Absolutely nothing happened after 2019. It was just a black void of despair, hopelessness and despondency.

Top already done that. 

 

And even if he hadn't, he hasn't got any more clue that the 'women who probably don't understand football'.

Listened to when your smiling last night. Dean hammond spoke well but defended the owner/board.

 

Main reason for me mentioning, there was one long voice note from someone(who's name I can't recall) that was brilliant and well worth a listen just for that. Summed up most of the opinions on here perfectly.

I don’t think he feels able to…. Possibly because of his father’s memory, possibly because of family pressure.

A while ago someone suggested a government interest as well, they suggested we could only be sold on to another Thai business person.

It must of been the prior “emotional attachment blah blah” seemed a little dismissive of the circumstances.

I've never read that, any link to it. ?   My understanding is he only replaced his father as Chairman with the approval of his mother who would have acquired Vichai's shares.

[sharpylcfc]

Wouldn't surprise me if we start hearing whispers about them selling up. These need to be gone sooner rather than later though.

Top would. At least until he sold us. You don't get to just walk away from bills... I've tried.

It's cowardly rudkin...

 

Top calls rudkin from the polo buffet tent 

 

Top: Have you told him? 

Rudkin: Yes, definitely, honest.

Top: Then why do I keep seeing reports saying he hasn't spoke to anyone? 

Rudkin: He must be lying, honest. 

Top: ok, sounds legit.

 

Top hangs up and picks up another crab paste and cucumber sandwich.

 

Meanwhile back at Seagrave

 

Tea lady: would you like a cuppa

Rudkin: Ah, yes, erm, could you go and tell Ruud he's sacked, I'd do it but I've hurt my leg.

Tea lady: **** off *****.

It’s all so lazy. I try not to be hysterical but I think of Top doesn’t sell we will be in League 1 in five or so years.

 

They can’t even run the club in a standard, perfunctory manner. It’s not that the wrong decisions are made for the most part, it’s just no decision happens.

So they aren't talking to the manager they have currently got or any they may want.

 

Superb stuff.

Surely it’s crossed her mind to think 

Son can I have a word  ? 
I dread to think what your father would do if he knew what an absolute shambles you’re making of this.
