Fez of Mahrez Posted 8 November 2006 Posted 8 November 2006 I'm just repeating what a Portsmouth fan told me. His transfer was the first one I thought of. I believe they owned half his registration for the original 2m... they later agreed a payment to settle the rest I believe. Wasn't he from Maccaibi Haifa (spelling)? That he was, I believe.
Louise Posted 8 November 2006 Posted 8 November 2006 Everyone listen to the MM interview then? If not, listen and love: http://www.bbc.co.uk/leicester/content/art...r_feature.shtml
sackmycook Posted 8 November 2006 Posted 8 November 2006 MM never spent more than 2m on a player while he was in charge at Pompey... so a portsmouth fan said!!!!! as the Flair says it would be nice to able to pay something for players. HR has a knack of getting good players on the cheap and they are worth quite a bit. sadly we're not getting HR & MM.
Louise Posted 8 November 2006 Posted 8 November 2006 For those too lazy to click or too traumatised by Barber: Barber: What happened in your discussions with Leicester City yesterday?Mandaric: In my view it was a very positive, constructive discussion, with a positive attitude by both parties. Of course you know my feelings and my attitude and desire, I found out it's similar with the other people so I'm very encouraged, I'm positively thinking right now and I think in just a matter of time we'll be able to put this together. Barber: So you feel that things have certainly moved forward now that you've had that first face-to-face meeting? Mandaric: Definitely. They've moved forward. And again as I said, positively thinking, with desire for me to join the club. And I think in the next several days we should be able to come to a further conclusion. Barber: So how are things left at the minute then? Mandaric: We need a couple of days to go back and consider some options, some details that we discussed, and come back to each other and so sometime in the next 48 hours we'll have another dialogue. Barber: And then the timeframe from thereon in...obviously they'll have to call an EGM and put it to their shareholders and things. When do you think things will really start to move? When the handover could actually happen..? Mandaric: Well I think the schedule that we put between us would be that not later than on the 15th we sign the agreement between us in principal and then after that immediately we start to do due diligence. I would personally like to go to Leicester and spend some time meeting the people and the organisation to see what we have, what we don't have, and not to waste time with that. I expect that the financial people will finish that within three to four weeks so on the 15th of December everything should be done the starting point would be that time. Barber: 'Coz that crucially is before the January transfer window opens. Is that an important key marker for you? Mandaric: Of course it is, without having a lot of knowledge of the football side and players... I'm absolutely sure some support is going to be needed there. So January is a very crucial month as we know so that's why we're aiming for that time. Barber: Just if you can Milan, and I appreciate that you might not be able to give as many details as you'd like because you're in negotiations but there has been a lot of talk about how much it is, now I know you're not going to be able to disclose exact sums but we've heard anything from an initial bid of £3m to the shareholders right up to £25m. Can you give the fans a guide as to how the proposal has worked? Mandaric: Well first of all I'd like to establish something, I don't like to talk about numbers, about amounts. I can only tell you whatever is needed, whatever I've committed to I'm behind that and I always deliver and that's going to be no different if I do come to Leicester City Football Club. As far as amounts go, I've just got to tell you one thing, shareholders will get 100% of their investment back. That's all I can tell you. Barber: Ok, appreciate that. Then what about the deal with the ground because the fans will be aware that at the moment that is controlled affectively by an American finance group called Teachers. Would you intend to return the ownership of the Walkers Stadium back to the football club? Mandaric: Well, my understanding is that that stadium belongs to the football club, but the football club has an obligation to pay the mortgage which is around £16-17m, leftover to pay from the time. I didn't look at the contract, I didn't look at any relationship but I would not be interested in anything else but that stadium to belong to football club. Barber: So you would want to get that paid off as soon as is realistic? Mandaric: It'll pay off, or guarantee payments, or take it over. There is no [can't make it out] that stadium belongs to the football club.

Shipman Out Posted 8 November 2006 Posted 8 November 2006 Yes defo, i think the current people at the club are Tigers fans, they really dont seem to fancy MM bid! they want a bigger egg chasing arena to put there seat covers and flasks in Home game on Saturday its about time the fans let them know what we think of Milans bid! They said the Charles Dance interview was on the web to and thats not there will prob be on this time tomorrow! Charles Dance and Milan Manderic in the same show! oooo! I thought the arty black and white shots were a bit dodgy during MM interview, it was like the producer is a failed film student let loose on local news :pinch:

Bert Posted 8 November 2006 Posted 8 November 2006 After hearing his interview, i'm a lot more optomistic.
Chimp Posted 8 November 2006 Posted 8 November 2006 Crux of the interview: - Shareholders get a fair price for their shares - i.e. they get back at least what they put in. - Ownership of the stadium back to the football club - 'Significant' investment into the team - Milan happy that discussions with the board went well - He sees no reason why his offer should not be accepted - He expects a decision within the next couple of days

Chimps post pretty much clears the main parts up.
lookwhaticando Posted 8 November 2006 Posted 8 November 2006 With some people posting spam And others being quite serious about the thread, Can someone sum up to me whats happened in the past 24 hours, as im confused.. Milan spoke to Barber (interview link and transcript on Page 69). Things look quite positive, reading what Milan has said. Discussions were held, more are in the offing just as soon as some thinking has been done by both parties.
shen Posted 8 November 2006 Posted 8 November 2006 Crux of the interview: - Shareholders get a fair price for their shares - i.e. they get back at least what they put in. - Ownership of the stadium back to the football club - 'Significant' investment into the team - Milan happy that discussions with the board went well - He sees no reason why his offer should not be accepted - He expects a decision within the next couple of days From the summary Louise posted on the previous page, I can't quite make out if he actually intends to pay the mortgage back ASAP. Is he actually saying that time will take care of that mortgage and that the club will eventually, as planned, 'own' the stadium again?
Janx Posted 8 November 2006 Posted 8 November 2006 As I have mentioned before, he will probably change the mortgage on the stadium to someone with more favourable terms, he wont sticl 17m in readies into bricks and mortar, the reason? Bricks and mortar acccrues value without actually buying it outright, check your own house value,
