Milan Mandaric has targeted leicester!

[Swedging]

So I still can't see significant savings on running costs. They will still be two seperate businesses share one facility.

You've overstatd in almost every area. I'd expect a minimum of a quarter saved of the combined running costs. Even afeter a feckwit consultant has been in and promised a half.

How can I have overstated by a quarter I haven't put any figures down. I've just suggested where the savings suggested may not be as large/full as indicated.

Without knowing actually numbers I'm just putting forward areas where the cuts wont be 100% which some people are saying.

Having said that I've been involved in more than a dozen restructurings, outsourcing/downsizing and the savings have NEVER matched original or planned estimates and 75% were regretted afterwards. Consultants do a wonderful job pulling the wool over people's eyes in these sort of situations knowing full well they can walk away and wont be around when the shit finally hits the fan.

I'd put money on that being the case here.

I have just heard John Barber discribe the Mandaric bid as now "Very precarious"

[Lets Be having You]

[Stevosevic]

[jumbo mills]

Chris Egerton said the same thing as I was listenening on the radio on the way home.

[Milky]

It said on radio leicester that coming from a "source" in the club the bid is in a "precarious position"

make of that what you will

I have just heard John Barber discribe the Mandaric bid as now "Very precarious"

Another quote from John Barber is that even if the Mandaric deal does goes through, "There's no chance of it happening now before January"

[Durnerz]

Lets just hope the Chuckle brothers (Barber and Edgerton) are wrong.

[Leicester Lass]

Anyone else got a really bad feeling about this now?

[Fleckney Fox]

Before the match i seen Andrew Taylor and he said that the bid "Is on its Way"

[Ajax Treesdown]

Are you his pre-match warm up??

[Fleckney Fox]

but it looks as if the bid is going to happen, thank god. Barber was just lying through his teeth

[disheartened fan]

If the Bid was going tits-up i think we would have heard something from Milan.

[Fleckney Fox]

its all ok -- LINK

[disheartened fan]

He's probably been reading The Fox message boards.

[ibbosuk]

oh dear. was he there?

Radio Leic say "Mandaric was not seen at the game"

[coale39]

I remember reading that Milan Mandaric was persuaded to come to Leicester because LCFC supporters emailed/wrote to him begging him to take us over. After recent reports of the bid being a precarious position, I suggest, , that we en masse email him and push the bid through regardless of bas**rd shareholders....!!!!

Now I need his email......

[JoeyB]

to what adress do we email it to?

[ibbosuk]

If the Bid was going tits-up i think we would have heard something from Milan.

Barber said "The bid was not dead but it was in trouble" He went on to say "The crux is down to the conditions that have been put in that would enable the shareholders to get there money back. Barber added " City would have to be virtually in the champions League before they would get it all back and the club dont want to risk putting it before the shareholders"

[disheartened fan]

Maybe Milan thinks he can get us into the champions league!!

[Fleckney Fox]

great :mad2:

[coale39]

I dunno. Someone must have it......
