Milan Mandaric has passed away

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Sad news, I always see him as the man who started everything, RIP Milan you did us proud 

[Leicesterpool]

Always respected him for turning the club round after a few years of administration. His first season was a disaster but for next two seasons there was plenty of excitement. Brought in Vichai of course and the rest is history 

 

Thanks Milan may you rest in peace

[OriginalRobboFOX]

A chairman with ambition and an individual that had the wherewithal to be able to steer us in a better direction at the time. It was a bumpy ride along the way. RIP Milan.

RIP Milan. 
 

A man who was in football for the right reasons. 

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

Sad news. Never a dull moment, but played his part in turning us around.

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Always gave a great interview 

[Durnerz]

Without him, we wouldn't be where we are. When he came in we didn't have a pot to 'you know what' in. The club needed his investment and he may have made mistakes but he sold us to the right people and brought in Pearson that started off the chain of events that led us into dreamland. RIP Milan Mandaric.

RIP Milan and thank you for helping our club.

 

I’m sure we can give him the ovation he deserves at the next game which just happens to be against Portsmouth at the KP on the 18th

RIP Milan. 
Glad he saved us when he did. 
But he was a business man at the end of the day. If it wasn’t him it would have been someone else. 

 

[Gazza M]

Eventually got it right with us. Saved us from obscurity and passed on the baton at the correct stage. RIP Milan. 

[Spiritwalker]

RIP sad news, we had some crazy times with Milan but he came to us when we were at our lowest.

[Claudio Fannieri]

He absolutely saved the club when we were on our arse, it was a rollercoaster ride but set us on our way back to what ended up in the best years of lives. 
 

RIP Milan 

[Bezzanator89]

Very sad, turned things around off the pitch, and helped lay the foundations for what was to come. RIP Milan, and thank you.

[Levi Port]

An old school man, our club was so entertaining under him after some awful years prior. I look back on those seasons with very fond memories, it was so exciting.Thank you Milan

I thought the same, being a teenager around this time with the club was so fun. 

[C.J]

The man who laid the foundations for what followed. R.I.P.

Fitting that the next game is Pompey.

[The Year Of The Fox]

RIP. Milan 

 

Always remember the first game  under you seeing us beating Cov with Cadamateri scoring (not the Italian left back)Despite the revisionism on here at times, I shall always remember where I was working (Measham) when you said you would not leave this club in a worse state than you found it 

 

You did exactly that

 

Milan Is A Leicester Fan

RIP Milan

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Saved the club from oblivion, employed Pearson. Doesn't get much better than that.

[MPH]

Condolences to his family.

[Mike Oxlong]

My recollection is a bit hazy. Did he bring in Maddog and Sven ? 

 

Never a dull moment (unless he also brought in Levein and Megson - I don't recall if they were recruited during his tenure or before)
