Rudkin is so cooked, gonna be great to see him out of the door 

[FoxesWalk]

I joked before how the Taliban buying a club is little different from Saudi buying Newcastle…

Anyone with a tiny amount of business acumen wont be a fan of Rudkin.

Yes what if they're dodgy or immoral and do things like break the financial rules whilst doing deals with obviously fraudulent companies and crypto betting scammers.

I have never supported King Power.

 

I also don’t support some of these Middle Eastern owners.

[Finnegan]

What are the odds it'll be this guy.

Get ready for the pitch to be turned into a poppy field.

[Corky]

Not bothered about dominating the game (we can't anyway), I just want a well run club playing good football and competing in the Premier League.

 

If the current ownership had been any shape of competent we wouldn't need this.

I think we need better players than those 😆

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Probably be that broke Saudi geezer from Sheffield United or some shite

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Did Turki Alalshikh ever get his claws into Derby in the end? Been linked with every Skybet club under the sun

[LincsFox84]

Wasn't there some garbled talk about Amanda Staveley acting as a go-between months ago? 

[South Shire Fox]

Id of thought Americans who want us to do a Wrexham - Netflix combo would be interested

As long as it’s not from a specific area of the Middle East I'm fine with it. Anyone but them... 

Nonsense comment. It’s not going to be their government, so why does it matter where the person is from.

Based on absolutely nothing except the sheer depth of the pockets required, the involvement of a genuinely huge investment group in Citigroup and the Middle Eastern profile, I would imagine this'll be a big name and we're probably quite far down the road.

 

It won't be PIF or CFG as multi club ownership rules make it impossible, but it may genuinely be in that ball park. The only investors with the funds would have to be multi billionaires beyond anything King Power has. Call me wildly optimistic, but this might be a state-backed entity who have other clubs elsewhere. Do QSI have any English clubs? 

Doha. Paris. Leicester. In that order. 

[Groby_Blue]

This is the real reason why the Ings moved collapsed. We've changed targets to Lamine Yamal.

I'd rather avoid links to that government. Just my preference. 

[Claridge]

if they guarantee to break our transfer record numerous times, sign some of the greatest players we have ever had, win the prem, win the fa cup, champions league quarters etc…over the next 10 years, would anyone say no if the caveat was that we would end up in league one.I get king power totally ****ed up an incredible chance to establish us a proper force and it’s time to move on, but i’d take it all again in a heartbeat

Tbf they have a Belgian club and part ownership of SC Braga as well. 

[MPH]

Come and pick up your free litre of petrol before the next home game to say thank you for your continued support this season

[phoneticerror]

Of course they’re Middle Eastern. 🤦‍♂️

It will be that guy from Bahrain who's son used to be in our academy.
