Fox in a Box Posted 19 December 2006 Posted 19 December 2006 What an unprofessional thing to say?......you're a rabble. I strongly advise that you get another spokesperson to represent you on here. SPOT on!
Louise Posted 19 December 2006 Posted 19 December 2006 Mandaric deal is still alive - City Leicester City have confirmed that the Milan Mandaric takeover deal is still on-going and that talks are under way. But there is now a danger that the conclusion of the deal might not beat the January 1 deadline, the date the transfer window opens. The club do not dispute yesterday's statement from Mandaric's advisors that extra debts surfaced during the due diligence procedure. But the deal is still on the stocks and a City spokesman said: "Negotiations are continuing on the matter in an effort to resolve the issues." In the light of what has been uncovered, Mandaric's final bid - which is still technically to be delivered - could be amended from the offer which was accepted in principle by the shareholders' meeting on the morning of the Preston game more than four weeks ago. That might mean more meetings before City made a decision, thus stretching the process even further. Time is now of the essence. Had everything gone smoothly, Mandaric would have been installed as the club's owner by now, but there have been so many obstacles arising that his frustration has built up along the way. Fortunately for City, Mandaric has not allowed that frustration to prompt him to walk away, and the club must hope that any problems which have now surfaced can be dealt with to keep the takeover alive. Every week is vital and already precious time has been lost, so if City boss Robert Kelly did have a notional shopping list in mind, he now runs the risk of seeing his targets go elsewhere before he can make a move. The recent improvement in results will not have deflected Kelly from his hope that he will be able to strengthen his squad although, until the ink is dry on the takeover, he will take nothing for granted. Instead, he will be concentrating on matters on the field, with a tough test against promotion challenging Cardiff on Saturday. Another big crowd at the Walkers Stadium is hoped for as the festive programme gets under way. But the rumblings from the legal eagles will be in the back of everyone's mind until everything is sorted out. http://www.thebluearmy.co.uk/details.asp?b...6269754|p|536|0

Ric Flair Posted 19 December 2006 Posted 19 December 2006 Good article, i'm back to being optimistic again. Groundhog day.
Manwell Pablo Posted 19 December 2006 Posted 19 December 2006 Good article, i'm back to being optimistic again. Groundhog day. I told you it was going to drag on.
Ric Flair Posted 19 December 2006 Posted 19 December 2006 I told you it was going to drag on. It's something I was hoping you wouldn't be right on for once.
The People's Hero Posted 19 December 2006 Posted 19 December 2006 This would never have happened if we'd signed Carl Asaba. Where is the damn ambition at this club. Bring back David Lowe.
Matt Posted 19 December 2006 Posted 19 December 2006 Right I know very little about the takeover situation, e.t.c, and tbh i've tried to not read much about any of the takeover, only the very basics, e.t.c, but the 2 or was it 3 other intrested parties that wer rumoured to have been lining up a bid for the club...where have they gone? If I was one of these parties even if it wasn't anywhere near the amount of money Milan Manderic has I would have still probably had a cheeky bid, As a fan I have always want Milan Manderic but if I was one of the other parties i'd still want to go ahead with a bid, even if they liklyhood of it being accepted low. Would it be illegal if the club "made up" the rumours of other intrested bidders to speed up the Milan bid? Because since Milan been on the scene where have the other 2 or 3 intrested investors gone?! As I said as a fan I have always seen Milan as the best option but I just find it weird how we have not heard a thing from the other intrested investors since Milan has appeared!

There was a bid from TPH and Co!! And the other was from Myself and Master Fox, called Sex Inc.!!! Both are still vaild bids, as far as I know!!
London_Fox Posted 19 December 2006 Posted 19 December 2006 Would it be illegal if the club "made up" the rumours of other intrested bidders to speed up the Milan bid? No. I'm not sure there is a law against it but either way it's impossible to prove that one of the current board wasn't considering an offer or we didn't get a random phone call or someone suggested that their great uncle four times removed had overheard his cat and dog talking about launching a bid with the local rotary club (although the latter option should be easier to dismiss).

Robbofox Posted 19 December 2006 Posted 19 December 2006 lan Mandaric has rejected reports that his proposed takeover of Leicester was on the verge of collapse. Reports emanating on Monday claimed that the £25million deal to gain control of the Championship club was in jeopardy. It was claimed in the reports that the due diligence procedure unearthed considerable extra debt at the Midlands outfit after Mandaric was allowed to examine the club's books. The reports suggested Mandaric was considering his position after reviewing the finances, but the former Portsmouth supremo insists talks are still ongoing regarding the purchase of the club. A statement released by Mandaric's advisors read: "Discussions between Mr Mandaric and Leicester City Football Club in connection with Mr Mandaric's interest in the club are continuing. "The ongoing due diligence into the affairs of the club has raised certain legal and financial issues which merit further investigation. "The club and Mr Mandaric are working together with their respective advisers to seek to address these points."
