Milan Mandaric has targeted leicester!

people should just sit tight.

You have to remember that fans are insignificant in terms of this takeover...

We have no say in terms of how the takeover progressive,

also, we don't have the right to know whats going on on a day to day basis.

I think that the club have been quite professional about the whole thing. Sure the takeover has had its problems, but thats to be expected.

What a load of b*llox

[Daggers]

What a load of b*llox

Well there's an opinion.

On of the things I appreciate about FT is the way members can feel comfortable in expressing their inner most feelings in the knowledge that we are all supporting and encouraging without being critical.

grow up

[Milan]

Thats the most worrying about all of this. He obviously cant be speaking to RK regarding players as the deal isnt done yet so does that mean he is looking at players himself without consulting anyone??

I believe MM has been to the training ground, what was to stop them talking about players then, do you think that MM wouldn't have bothered to ask RK for his mobile.

[MC Prussian]

grow up

I am.

But that doesn't have to prevent me from expressing my opinion, does it?

These days, we're involved in one of the biggest happenings in recent Leicester City history. I concur that a takeover must be completed on a thorough basis, with all loose ends tied together. All sides should get the most and best out of it.

However, when you look at the way some board members of this so-called professional football club are clinging on to their seats, when in fact, they should be more interested in and concerned about running the enterprise, then that's worrying me. The club is still in debts and I wonder why the people on the board have not been as proactive as others when it comes to financing since we've escaped that monster called administration. Now along comes one rich guy who - and that's my assumption - wants to do good (and I do know about the franchise rumours) and invest money, good money in this institution. From all the news that I've heard so far, the club has been rather reluctant in opening their books (a behaviour that is still making headlines at the current time) and reaching an agreement among its shareholders.

The whole process could've been completed way faster, if it hadn't been for some opposition. Again, nothing wrong with that. But the way the public has been misinformed and misled and the way the current owners are treating the club, that's laughable.

We're currently 4 points adrift of a relegation spot, with one more game in hand. We're approaching the 2/3 mark and we're not doing too good, result-wise spoken.

I do hope that the recent player sales and leaves do signify a start into a brighter era.

BUT... the whole back-and-forth business reminds me of a kindergarten game with neither side willing to let go of the rope. I can see the reasons behind that, but not only is it childish, it's also poison for the current state we're in.

Again: I've been patient for a long time already.

The clock's still ticking.

I would guess the groundshare is just as likely to happen or not with or with out MM owning us.

what would of happened if more than 20,000 tickets have been sold?

iirc tigers can only hold 18,000 max

Season ticket holders only

[JoeyB]

Season ticket holders only

so what about everyone who has brought tickets your going to give them, a refund?

bad idea because more than likely 1 out 5 people(who have brough a ticket) will go into the shop and buy a shirt, program or piece of merchadise. so the club would of ended up making a huge loss on that game.

also the tickets pay for the wages of turnstyle staff, stewards, police and other people

I was joking

[bold_fox]

What a load of b*llox

Well done...

if you actually read what i posted you'll see that its a good point.

Typically this thread is full of people who either have a go at the FT, the Mercury, the manager, and even MM.

People have to realise that LCFC is a business, and legal restrictions apply during the takeover...

I think a lot of the posters in this thread are suffering from a rather inflated ego.

All i said is to sit tight and see what happens. Either way, none of us can make a difference.

Also, your response was well out of order. This whoel forum is about people being able to express there opinion.

a) Don't pretend to know what a "typical" FT member is like

b) Don't assume other people are dumber than you

c) Don't tell me what I can't and what I can say on here

Thank you.

[THEBIGJOHNSTEADER;]

according to TEAMTALK, MM has advised he has missed out on 3 transfer targets and that he could have bought london bridge in the time the takeover has taken. He is p*ssed off!

Sorry, if anoyones already mentioned this

I apologise for my response I didn’t intend to offend you and everyone has a right to their opinion like you say.

But to say the fans don’t have a right to know is nonsense. I understand the business element there is to any football club but without fans there basically isn’t a club at all. The club couldn’t have dealt with the situation any worse if they tried. It’s frustrating and quite frankly embarrassing the way this has been drawn out.

I am surprised that MM hasn’t just said ‘Well **** off then, if you want to remain the awful state you’re in then fine I’ll take my money else where which I’m it would be much more appreciated’

[Geo V]

Maybe, but we don't know the half of it, well we know FA actually. Who knows what the 'real' situation is. However I've absolutely no doubt that this deal will go through, MM doesn't strike me as the type of guy to walk away from what is still a top notch business (football) deal. He may make people pay for it but he's not going to give up now. I also don't think it's beyond reality that they have made some plans, hence his comments re potential transfers. OK it may not be cast iron but he could well have asked RK where the team needed strengthening.

As for the book it's good, limited to Sunday Mirror / Mirror extract and heavily tilted towards the Little/MON era followed by the Gillies management but I guess that's to be expected as they where the times when we were successful.

Whats a concern to me is that MM has talked of things like play-offs, lining up players etc etc but most of the talk was 2 months back when we had a better chance of achieving the play-offs. Since then we have been dumped out of the cups, dropped to within 4 points of the relegation zone, his hands are tied in helping finance any deals because we have dragged on the takeover so long and he is quoted as getting "angry" about the delays. Whats stopping him him saying that he will reasses at the seasons end if its not pushed through before the window closes??? If he cant have an effect during the window he may say he`ll wait to see our plight come the seasons end and make a lower bid.

I hope I am wrong but I cant help but think we are making a pigs ear out of this and risk losing the bloke who must be questioning the mugs he is dealing with.

[Geo V]

Sorry, I missed this repsonse! My point is that until its signed and sealed, MM isnt in a position to arrange any deals. He may put some feelers out and I`m sure has had conversations about possible players with RK but the deal isnt signed so its no different to you or me going upto RK and saying we have £5m for him to spend. At this stage its hypothetical. My point is made more valid by the fact that RK has sold 3 players, one of whom he is quoted as saying he would like to have kept (COG) and said something along the lines of "everyone knows what finanical position we are in" and stuff like "we now MAY be able to bring in ONE on loan". That doesnt strike me as someone who is over confident on incoming finances, does it you???

Like a lot of people you're assuming, because of supposedlyMM's quotes or their interoretation in the media that the board/shareholders are to blame.

Whilst I have no ruck with MM taking over I believe little of what is placed in the media as truth. In fact he's been quite careful to say/be quoted as saying that it's mainly down to the nit picking lawers rather than anyone else in the club or himself - whether that's the truth, like everything else we just don't know.

After what he's already invested (legal fees), which seems to be his biggest outlay in buying the club I just can't see him backing out because of extended timescales.
