King Power Out

[kingfox]

Just asked the owner of Fame Fashions if they are buying Leicester City, they said nope, so that rules them out 👍🏻

[Spudulike]

Not sure the club is an attractive proposition with this Leeds legal proccedings hanging around.

[BenTheFox]

I am fully aware that there is a risk with potential new owners coming in. I'm not naive  enough to think that it can't go tits up. However, some of the cope from the KPFC lot is hilarious. "Be careful what you wish for, just look at Sheffield Wednesday". We're in the same league as Wednesday and they're probably financially more secure than we are right now.

Remember “Who is gonna buy us if King Power sell??? Huh huh??” As if it was some insurmountable hurdle. Well it’s only Citibank trying to find a buyer. 
 

There’s some light at the end of the tunnel

"Be careful what you wish for!!!!!" As if we haven't been relegated two seasons in a row and are on the precipice of going pop

Speaking of legal issues can I be the first to say everyone has gone a bit quiet on Man City's 115 charges !!!!

It was always a stupid argument. As if I am supposed to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of everyone in the world with the capital required to purchase a professional football club in England. My suspicion is that at least 95% of these people had never heard of King Power before they took over and they would argue that it was a net positive.

Tbf they do still need to find a buyer,  and no other club will have Maquary loans to repay, so I still wouldn’t bank on it being straight forward.

If I was a new owner of club my first act would be to sack Rudkin and 2nd act would be to ban the Ginettas from the club for 50 years.

If the 115 charges do result in a severe punishment maybe Enzo will come back, perhaps in a coaching role?

[Rubbersoul]

Whilst getting rid of Rudkin would be great I hope the first person out the door is whoever runs our social media 

[Hales]

No more Top, no more Rudkin..........is this a dream!

We’ve defo done a number on Martin haven’t we,

We covered this once on BTG I believe. Martin was previously offered the job before Cifuentes got it. It was a very odd affair where he was interviewed by more than 10 people at the same time and was offered the job at the end of the interview. During it he asked if the club was for sale and was told it was. I can’t remember who told us this but have it on pretty good authority it’s true. 
 

At the time Martin walked away because the whole experience seemed weird as hell and set off major alarm bells, but 12 months later I guess was less picky!

 

Given we got in Martin’s preferred assistant and some of the signings he wanted already I think he is probably generally in the know as to what’s going on. But you never really know, as you can tell that PSR issues were kept from Enzo a few years ago.

It’s stupid in the context of people asking which individual or organisation would take us, but not really in the context of are we an appealing purchase.

Hollywood star or loaded musician please😎

 

 

 

 

We will get the guy who plays Roy Cropper won't we?

That wouldn’t be enough by itself to put any prospective buyer off. It’s more down to King Powers valuation. We know they don’t understand market value of assets so I think they’ll be completely unrealistic. The biggest barrier will be the state of the finances 

[Sly]

Okay, realistically we are looking at US investment.

 

Woody Johnson - New York Jets

 

John Textor - Eagle Football Holdings

 

Or a US led consortium that would be all

over us after the World Cup, with a load of people we’ve never heard of.

It’s that last paragraph that’s the key bit.

 

We satisfied Enzo with the same and then back tracked. We’ve got past for starting off by doing what has been discussed and then quickly doing a U turn and ****ing the manager off. He’s still not spend a penny, if he’s been promised money as per the reports then I’d be starting to question whether it’s happened again.

We still have a Premier League class stadium, world class training facility, solid season ticket sales and a marketable name outside of England. 
 

I’d guess at US investment, however I wouldn’t rule out investment from Asia, or even a group like Red Bull or 777, RedBird etc etc
