King Power Out

[CosbehFox]

If we use the rationale that KDH and Fatawu were in last financial accounts. KDH we know for sure of on that.

 

In 

Reid free

Golding £5m

Okoli £13m

Skipp £20m

Ayew £5m

El Khannous £20m

Couilbaly £3m

Buonanotte loan - lets say £5m 

Edouard loan - supposedly £8m 

 

We spent £79m 

 

Out

Souttar loan - lets cover his amortisation £4m 

Hamza loan - lets say £2m

Brunt - £3m 

Booth - £500k 

Cannon - £10m 

 

Total - £19.5m 

 

£80m net spend and we haven't sold anyone within June to get into this next financial accounts. 

 

If we say wage bill is £140m (down from £200m last time in the PL), we have very stripped down outgoings of £220m. Throw in Cooper and his staff paid off, that's another £6m on top. 

 

When you consider our revenue streams at their best ever have been approx £220m. The financial year without BC Game paying a ****ing fortune is an absolute disaster. Like Leeds United and the fish tank stuff.

But aren’t they recognised via amortisation not full values?

I’m completely against King Power and I won’t be spending a penny at the club until they’re gone, but there seems to be a latching hope they’d sell up and we’ll immediately go up but the truth is we’re fvcked. 
 

We need a complete clearance. On the pitch, in the board room, a total restructure of the club beneath them as in its current guise it is unrecoverable. Everything Pearson built has been pulled out or rotted away and replaced with a substandard quick fix that has in almost all cases has failed utterly. If the club was a house the foundations would be rotted and it’d need pulling down before anything worthwhile could be done with the land.
 

The uncomfortable reality is we need to accept at least a couple years of Championship mediocrity. New ownership, all the right people in behind the scenes, a financial reset and begin building up the team itself when that is done and we’re on steady ground. Even with Birmingham it took relegation to get themselves in position, and that is exactly happened to us with Pearson. Assuming we’ve got too much to drop (I’m not fully convinced), it’ll be some struggling but you like to believe if  there is evidence of some vision and a plan the proper support will get behind it. KPFC loyalists will soon get bored and with their God-Hero gone hopefully they’ll slink off and take up The Hundred as is befitting.
 

Theres no quick fix, 2010s era Leicester is dead and buried so betting on being back up in a year or two will likely just exacerbate the the panicked, strategy-vacant path we’re on. The sooner proper supporters withhold their money, and the club continues inevitably on its downwards trajectory, they will have to sell up and the real work can begin in earnest.

Spot on !!!!

I wouldn’t be bothered about immediate promotion, I want a strategy that makes the club sustainable, able to rebuild something and bring everyone back together.

No way we spent that much on the loan fees. Édouard would work out the equivalent as a £40m signing on a 5 year deal for PSR. We're perfectly capable of wasting that money on a permanent striker.

Regardless, if we say £71m transfer ongoing at loan deals of £2.5m each, it’s hardly looking rosey is it?

Don’t know if this is just lazy journalism or is just total BS but what’s your thought on him buying City?

The £66m spent on actual transfers will be spread over the length of the contract. £13m of loans, plus £66m spread over approximately 3 years, will then result in a figure of around £35m.

Now, if clubs had to show the real amount coming in and out, then I would imagine almost every Premier League club and Championship club would be bankrupt.

I want us buying crap with no resell-able value and getting them on stupid money because that’s our way out of this mess. 
 

Don’t hope for better, hope for worse ! 

 

League 1 hopefully then we may just have a better future.

I really am starting to wonder what planet you're on.

 

Please leave the drugs and alcohol alone for a while.

[Foxin_Mad]

Realistically fans need to accept we are never going back to where we were whoever the owners are. It was a once in a life time opportunity to stop being a yoyo club, we blew it. Its not ever coming back and I highly doubt we would attract new owners good enough to make any serious improvement. Maybe the odd up and down in about 10 years if we are lucky. Maybe another league 1 tour. We arent getting a rich Saudi or Famous american

Nothing wrong with me ! 
But for the long term I want someone who wants to “care” for my club look after it, nurture it, build it properly, have a real plan for it, not the disastrous “that’ll do” I can’t be bothered regime we’re seeing at the moment and I feel we’ll have to endure more pain and suffering for things to eventually change and if that’s for the greater good then im right behind it. 
 

More poor players, more high wages, more doom and gloom and let Dumb & Dumber do what they do best because credit where it’s due it’s actually something that their excellent at. 
 

So give them more rope 

 

Any stability will only give them encouragement and hope so we don’t want a green light at the end of the tunnel. 
 

Any further financial losses to the KP group in Thailand will no doubt accelerate the idea that selling something of value to them might be the best way forward and hopefully this nightmare will be over for us. 
 

Im not the only one here that thinks this way, many others have said similar.

It's a bullshit story. 

 

It's a weird article that keeps appearing copy and pasted with different clubs. Strange. 

 

He's barely a billionaire, his net worth seems deliberately obscured and Forbes thinks he's no where near as wealthy as he tries to show. 

 

He used to be in charge of the crown fund, now he's just a regular Joe with his own cash. 

 

He's obviously absurdly rich he's not "own a Premier League football club" rich and the fact he's deliberately deceptive about his wealth makes him come across like a con artist. 

 

Would rather Top. 

 

[Mapperleyfox]

A thought that occurred to me given the total radio silence on the transfer front and the fact we've not been linked to players, let alone seen any evidence that we are bringing anyone in, is that we already have a transfer embargo in place and the idiots running the show aren't telling us about it. Maybe they're planning on coming clean after the window shuts in the programme notes?

Would anyone be surprised if this were the case?

Any embargos are published on the EFL website as soon as they happen. 

 

That would probably be the place we found out from mind

You do realise the bigger mess they make the harder it will be to find a new owner.

 

Us in div 1 with a shit squad on huge waged giving us psr fail after psr fail is no way to sell a club.

 

We might as well shut up shop now sell the ground and Seagrave to the tigers. Then go support Northampton town or Kettering.

People still being duped but what is one of the most overtly fake articles you'll ever see . You get to the bottom of the article and it then has 2 links with the exact same headline, just a different club and people still think it might be real?  Oh dear.

Not sure why you even took the time to assess his credentials given it's so blatantly AI generated.

The majority of football clubs, including ours, do this via their annual accounts - which are publicly available via Companies House.

Don't understand comments like this. Why couldn't we attract new owners? Why are we a less attractive proposition than Brentford, Brighton, Bournemouth, Fulham, Wolves or  Forest or others were when their current owners took over?

This is it ... we had a golden opportunity to set the club for decades ... but those in charge failed to realise it ... unfortunately except for a few ... football has a habit of kicking the legs from under you ... by now we should be a well established premier league club with relegation no longer on the radar ... with the odd season of a good cup run, possibly  a European adventure and upsetting a few of the big boys ... to sum it all up ... fail to prepare  ...  prepare to  fail ... is exactly what Top and his merry men have done
