Polyphonic Posted 4 January 2006 Share Posted 4 January 2006 It is rumoured that a Japanese businessman, Mr. Teriyaki, may be investing £5 million in Leicester City. Apparently, this Japanese businessman knows Gary Lineker well from Lineker's time in Japan. It is through this that he is interested in helping Leicester get back to the Premiership. The only potential stumbling block is Mr Teriyaki's desire to bring over a few Japanese players. This is not going down well with the current management team, who are adament they will not accept interference in team matters. However, this may not prove a problem for much longer with the current management team under massive pressure from Leicester's underperformance. Taken from football-rumours.com Total rubbish, but it made me laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox_in_norwich Posted 4 January 2006 Share Posted 4 January 2006 Considering it always seems to be foreigners investing in clubs. I wouldnt rule out a wealthy indian/pakistani investing in us because of the large ethnic population in the city. It might happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly.....why a "wealthy indian/pakistani" as opposed to a wealthy white person, or a wealthy woman, as they are both fairly big in Leicester as well. And in what sense would ploughing money into Leicester City be an investment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr The Singh Posted 5 January 2006 Share Posted 5 January 2006 Only a dedicated fan would invest in city at the moment. Rich businessmen\playboys would only be interested in city if we were a team in the prem or close. The only other type of person would have to be a stupid fool, as city financially are poor and don't even own there stadium!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester aren't an attractive option because of the clubs financial state. Leicester aren't an attractive option because of the clubs location. Leicester aren't an attractive option because of the clubs current position. On top of that 5 million wouldn't exactly get you a lot either.

On top of that 5 million wouldn't exactly get you a lot either. Would agree with all those points except the one in bold. I think Leicester, geographically is a pretty decent location in that it is only a stone's throw away from London. Portsmouth is hardly a glamorous place but look at what's happening with respect to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 5 January 2006 Share Posted 5 January 2006 Bollocks or not, wouldn't say no to a couple of young Japanese lads. Well, decent ones, anyway - watched the Asian youth cup on Sky, some good young talent in Japan and Korea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Posted 5 January 2006 Share Posted 5 January 2006 If I had 500 million I wouldn't consider inputting 5 million into a football club. Complete waste of money, very little chance of a return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDEA OR IKEA Posted 5 January 2006 Share Posted 5 January 2006 if you had 500million why would you give a shit about getting that 5mil back? Yes, watch the pennies - you dont get that rich by throwing money around. Buy the Leicester Riders instead and build a new arena actually in Leicester, plus some decent bands might come - rather than having to travel to the ice arena, nec/nia etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
