The People's Hero Posted 1 November 2006 Posted 1 November 2006 The Tigers? You cannot be serious? Disaster beckons if that happens. Let's do it. Disaster and the 'ridiculous' is what this club is all about.
davieG Posted 1 November 2006 Posted 1 November 2006 They don't really have much of an "alligence". They just ground-share, really. The Tigers are one of the most financially stable rugby clubs in the Northern Hemisphere, with a fantastic following and a comfortable profit margin. But no way in a million years could any rugby club dish out £25m to invest in football. Just daft. Not so daft really, buy LCFC for £25 mill, get a £35m stadium and first class training facilities/land. Sell Welford Road or their own training facilities and use Welford Road - to raise the necessary capital. Rent the Walkers Stadium to their subsidery, LCFC. Sounds like a good deal to me for the Tigers. plus they are cash rich.
blue blood Posted 1 November 2006 Posted 1 November 2006 The Tigers? You cannot be serious? Disaster beckons if that happens. Very serious!!
Master Fox Posted 1 November 2006 Posted 1 November 2006 I can envisage some yank trying establishing ownership to merge the Footy, Rugby, and Ice Hockey into one brand.

Just daft. well how would it work? are the tigers owned by a consortium of businessmen? do they have the money?? are they planning to buy on loans?

davieG Posted 1 November 2006 Posted 1 November 2006 Doesn't that bloke (don't know his name) own Newcastle Fc, Newcastle Rugby and Ice Hockey??? Not any more I don't think it all went tits up Not a good idea in practice too many diverging interests after a limited amount of money.
gatesheadfox Posted 1 November 2006 Posted 1 November 2006 John Hall still owns the falcons, he did own the football team but now has a number of shares with his son in the company, as for ice hockey.......couldn't even tell you. i think newcastle have a team
Ultra Posted 1 November 2006 Posted 1 November 2006 It was the Basketball team - the Newcastle Eagles. As only one of the bids has been submitted to date it is ridiculously premature to decide which one is the most suitable. Hopefully the FOXES Trust will receive details of them all and circulate the info to members. By the way C-man, your attempt at mindreading was woefully inept. Are you Momo in disguise?

Classic use of FOXES in the Trust name there.
Daggers Posted 1 November 2006 Posted 1 November 2006 Classic use of FOXES in the Trust name there. Hmmm... Come to think of it... You never see Ultra and Foxes Trust in the same place at the same time do you? Hmmm...
lildave3 Posted 1 November 2006 Posted 1 November 2006 Milan Mandaric's blue and white army! Undecided
ithuriel Posted 2 November 2006 Posted 2 November 2006 well MM has been in the game for a few years now and obviously has contacts , he is one man who knows what he wants and his track record is pretty good so im going to say MM. if liniker and holmes? are backing him then thats another goldstar next to his name.
Daggers Posted 2 November 2006 Posted 2 November 2006 I beginning to think that one of the two mystery American businessmen/consortium/businesses and its/his undisclosed offer, that has not been received or accepted, is looking pretty tasty. I think the value of having an anonymous figurehead with no interest in the club beyond creaming off the Sky Premiership payments is a great opportunity, especially one that is unaware of the location of Leicester without reference to GoogleMaps. I think that if we all just focus on this non-bid we will all be much happier. But, on the offchance that a representative of the made-up American interest is reading this: This is a football:
