Would love Red Bull to buy the club. But not at the cost of 'rebranding' our identity.

Why would you love them then, when they are known for doing just that?

Unfortunately if there’s any microcosm

of truth in this we’ll have no say anyway as our Imperious Leader is looking to recoup back something.

 

With them being Thai owned too, maybe there is something in this and they will have the finance to buy the club and take on the debt too.

 

We can’t keep guaranteeing loans against further incomes - maybe Administration is imminent and RB do want a club in England that they can own fully and rebrand accordingly?

[Finnegan]

It's a massively depressing reflection of the modern world if your choices are between your football club being bought out as a billboard for a drinks company or as a sports washing tool for a mass murdering, slave keeping dictator. 

 

As an aside, if it bothers you that they're the two choices facing your football club and you still vote for any right wing political party, you're a part of the problem. 

 

As another aside, if you'd choose the mass murdering despot over the drinks company that focuses heavily on the development of young athletes purely because they might change the "traditional" badge of your club or because other football fans might laugh at you, you've got really weird priorities. 

 

(For the record, I don't want either, ideally, obviously.)

Other football clubs laughing at us will only be jealous imo what ever RedBull do they normally excel. There whole football operation is unbelievable and there missing one piece if the jigsaw…. A team in England and we are absolutely perfect for them for many reasons!

[LCFCCKEANO]

Think the colours and name of the club are non-negotiable, but I really would not care if we played at the Red Bull Stadium with red bull branding around, honestly prefer soulless adverts to the club being a weird Thai/King power cult for the stadium and the kit. Would also mean we’d be able to use the other red bull sides as crutches to get us back to the prem, and then potentially as feeders. Having said all of that I really do not see red bull buying the club

how reputable is the source on this? is it a poster who gets these things spot on or just a standard rumour? I need to know before i waste my AI tokens generating novelty photos.

I think you need to just watch the latest RB Soapbox and leave your thoughts about our clubs identity alone for the afternoon

Hope it’s true, Red Bull are serious players in whatever they do.

I’ll drink to that !

Sources: Leicester City 'fire sale' as they pave way for mass exodus of first-team players

Leicester City are set for a "fire sale" of all of their first-team stars in the final weeks of the transfer window, sources have told Football Insider.

The Foxes' financial situation has become increasingly concerning following their relegation to League One, with King Power now having put the club up for sale.

Leicester also need to dramatically decrease their wage bill and will listen to offers for all of their first-team players before the early September deadline with a mass exodus on the cards.

Abdul Fatawu, Jeremy Monga and a number of others have already left Leicester this summer, but there will be many more to follow in the next three weeks.

Russell Martin will be asked to deal with what is left over at the end of the summer, with there likely to be a heavy reliance on young players.

Manchester United and Arsenal are said to be among those interested in Louis Page, while the likes of Luke Thomas, Harry Souttar and Caleb Okoli are also likely to leave.

Leicester have made signings this summer - Admiral Bristric and Wes Burns as permanent signings joined by a number of free transfers and loans - but the remainder of their window appears to be focused on exits.

Who could leave Leicester City?

While Leicester endured a horrific campaign in the Championship, several sellable assets remain at the King Power Stadium.

Fatawu and Monga were bound to leave with the former having scored nine goals and assisted seven, securing himself a move to newly-promoted Premier League side Ipswich Town in a deal worth £20million.

Monga, too, is among the youngest top flight players of all time and eventually signed in a £12.5m move to Manchester City after talks with Arsenal hit an impasse.

Leicester could well generate a similar fee for Page, who is a highly-rated talent and of significant interest in the Premier League.

Moves could also come for the likes of Stephy Mavididi, Bobby De Cordova-Reid, Michael Golding, Oliver Skipp and several others, with Martin forced to play a waiting game.

Leicester to agree '£10m + add-ons' Louis Page deal with Man United Leicester placed up for sale

King Power and the Srivaddhanaprabha family have been in charge of Leicester since 2010, but have now placed the club up for sale.

Chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha was incredibly loved, overseeing the miracle 2015-16 Premier League winning season, and his untimely death in a 2018 helicopter crash left a unmistakeable hole in the club.

His son, Aiyawatt, took over as chairman but in recent years, the club has been on a downward trend.

King Power are reportedly inviting offers for more than £200m to buy the club in the coming months, as they struggle with the financial burden.

Leicester City are prepared to offload almost their entire first-team squad this summer in what sources describe as a desperate 'fire sale' driven by deep financial turmoil and the LE2 club's owners actively putting the organ up for sale. Restricted to low-cost, free or loan signings alone, the Foxes' transfer strategy appears shaped by years of mismanagement under King Power rather than long-term planning, as Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha seeks to extract as much value as possible before stepping away.

This latest report from Football Insider is set to deepen the anger of the Blue Army, who have already endured a traumatic relegation to League One amidst their side slide down the English football pyramid. Fans had reluctantly accepted the high-profile departures of Jeremy Monga and Abdul Fatawu earlier in the window, viewing those sales as painful but necessary steps to stabilise LCFC's finances and comply with regulations.

Yet the revelation that every first-team player is now available to purchase, including some of the most promising young talents, will cross a line for many supporters who feel the institution is being stripped bare for quick cash. There are growing calls for scrutiny of the owner's actions, with fears Aiyawatt (Top) Srivaddhanaprabha is prioritising personal financial recovery over protecting the future of a club that once stood as one of football's greatest underdogs.

Before Saturday's disappointing draw with Notts County, manager Russell Martin confirmed that Stephy Mavididi and Wout Faes were missing from the squad because transfer moves were likely. This signalled the scale of the exodus underway at King Power Stadium.

Meanwhile interest in highly-rated teenager Louis Page continues to mount, with Manchester United and Arsenal both linked. While both established internationals Harry Souttar and Caleb Okoli may respectively depart before the transfer window closes.

Leicester City are set for a "fire sale" of all of their first-team stars in the final weeks of the transfer window, sources have told Football Insider.

Some supporters shall express surprise that Michael Golding is now being actively marketed, a gifted youngster signed from Chelsea who has flown somewhat under the radar, but retains significant potential on Filbert Way. Also listed for sale is Oliver Skipp, the former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder who arrived with hopes of anchoring the midfield but has failed to lift fortunes or spirits during difficult campaigns.

Bobby De Cordova-Reid is another name being lined up for an exit, and his departure would come with little shock given his underwhelming start to the campaign in a makeshift role up front. The Jamaica international has yet to find the net in two matches, one at League One level and the other versus League Two opposition; no professionals are safe in Leicestershire right now!

Having been taken over by a public investment fund for a well known country of exceptional human rights, it’s a regular discussion point for us.

 

Most supporters do not engage with celebrating the ownership, there was the odd idiot who dressed up or bought a Saudi flag to the opening games but these disappeared relatively quickly.

 

Options available to a modern day football club:

 

1. A sports washing vehicle for a country of appalling human rights.

2. An advert for an energy drink company.

3. American ownership plunged into debt bringing all of the horrendous ideas of American sport with them.

4. A vanity campaign for a celebrity or group of celebrities to create a Netflix documentary.

5. Part of a multi-club model, essentially becoming a feeder club for top of the chain.

 

Take your pick.

 

The days of football clubs being owned by a local businessman are long gone. There should be (but won’t be) rules bought in to protect clubs seeing a majority stake needing to be owned by local communities or businesses. The financial model of football is broken and the game is worse for it.
