We’ll get new owners and the 50% of the fanbase that give KP a free pass for everything will be on there back straight away

 

Especially if they are American 

It’s ok, they’ll be sitting outside Duty Free clapping.

I was unhappy but backing away from the KP out stuff for a while because I thought they deserved every chance to turn this around but  I can’t think of one redeeming feature at the minute, they need to sell up asap before they drag us down with them.

They have zero redeeming feature. The fact loads of the fanbase have this affinity towards them is one of the most damaging things there is. At least if a new owner came in and was shit they'd probably be held accountable.

I think we're going to have to wait for KP's demise first, and that looks like it's not too far away.

The thought of KP going under excites me far more than it should in all honesty

Birmingham is the 2nd/3rd city though so a lot more potential hence the massive Stadium project. I think Leicester would need to be Birmingham cheap to be attractive to a buyer, the training ground as a Championship club is a noose around the neck huge costs. I think now it takes a huge amount to have us or anyone else Premier League mid table unless one of the established clubs does a Leicester and has a major crash, the difference in levels and financial disparity grows and grows. 

Birmingham probably have a smaller catchment than we do tbh. Big city but they have Villa to contend with and they draw 360° support from around the city plus all the other West mids clubs to contend with.

 

The training ground is expensive but that plus a productive academy (probably £150m+ in sales over the past decade) it’s the sort of thing a prospective buyer would want in place.

Birmingham have a really small fanbase in all honesty

 

Basically mainly limited to a few big housing estates in the East and the South of the city (Chelmsley Wood and Northfield predominantly)

 

Villa have all the overspill towns too

 

It would be like us having 80% of our fanbase coming from Braunstone and Aylestone in 2025 (obviously on a different scale due to the cities populations)

I honestly think that group of the fanbase who have affinity to this wankstain will show up first game of the season without a clue of what is happening this summer, who the manager is, what players we’ve bought etc. no one with any sort of affiliation this club, a little bit of interest could in anyway think he is at all good for us.

Yeah I have felt for a long time that the stadium masses are not aware of whats going on outside of a matchday.

Big clap for Vichai when he appears on the big screen though

We have some of the most low information fans in the game

 

Can never work out why but we do

CEO at Prison FC for her role in the sponsorship sham or something else?

Know that she has changed role at King Power itself, with someone else taking over.

This has 'For Sale' written all over it. My view will be reaffirmed if Kingy gets the job

Appointing a higher profile manager is more likely to be an indication of trying to sell but I guess you mean from a money point of view?

 

I don’t think he would take it personally.

He can’t do the one job he is employed to do well, let alone taking on another role that he is not qualified to undertake.

I think we will see the club up for sale soon.

Everything’s that’s happening at the moment, it isn’t happening to be more specific, points towards a change in ownership.

[Claudio Fannieri]

Trying to buy memberships and everytime it gets to payment it crashes, literally could not organise a piss up in a brewery

Wish they would hurry up and sell and take the useless management with them.

Didn't know they'd even released the pricing.

She doesn't work for king power and hasn't for several years now.
