Collymore Posted 18 March 2009 Posted 18 March 2009 Milan Mandaric believes his dream of taking League One leaders Leicester back to the Premier League within three seasons is still achievable.The Foxes currently hold a nine-point lead at the top of League One and the chairman is already looking ahead to next season. "We have to give it a go," he told the Leicester Mercury. "I am not saying we are going to be in the Premier League, we are not even in the Championship yet, but this is what all the hard work, the investment and everything is for." "We are an ambitious club and I am quite sure Nigel is keeping an eye on certain players, and all he needs to do is knock on my door and I will be there for him." Milan has the worst timing ever to release these quotes to the press! I mean, come on Milan, history has shown whenever you come out in the press it all goes tits up!!!!

Of course he could have waited til we actually won it, but there's no need to panic.
AjcW Posted 18 March 2009 Posted 18 March 2009 I like the comment "all nigel needs to do is knock on my door and im there for him" Either hes full of finances and up for signing the world. Or nigel and milan have some weird homo thing going on

Edmund Posted 18 March 2009 Posted 18 March 2009 It is a bit premature but Id rather an optimistic chairman than pessimistic.
Daggers Posted 18 March 2009 Posted 18 March 2009 All tits need to do is knock on the door and I'm here for them. I love tits.
Stevosevic Posted 18 March 2009 Posted 18 March 2009 I have a feeling we will be in the mix next season in the Championship, i think it's healthy to have a chairman saying this, maybe at the wrong time though.
ozleicester Posted 19 March 2009 Posted 19 March 2009 Good onya Milan, Ambition and talent is required...got the ambition and the offer about knocking on the door sugests we may soon have the talent.
Thracian Posted 19 March 2009 Posted 19 March 2009 Milan has the worst timing ever to release these quotes to the press! I mean, come on Milan, history has shown whenever you come out in the press it all goes tits up!!!! There's nothing like heaping additional, unnecessary and unwelcome pressure on managers and players. We all know what the ambition is. For a club in Leicester's position it would surely be the ambition of any chairman. But Mandaric's psychological naivity makes me cringe at times. Despite the increasing hype we are not even promoted from League One yet. And nothing about either the team or our manager yet convinces me we'll necessarily be good enough o win The Championship - and that's even before other club's have their say. Milan doesn't need to talk. I heard enough of that when he took over and steered us straight down the plughole of relegation. He just needs to do. And leave the fans to make the noise.
RowlattsFox Posted 19 March 2009 Posted 19 March 2009 He can target the Premier League all he wants, aslong as he doesn't demand it. Next season is about stability for me.
Alexikokopops Posted 19 March 2009 Posted 19 March 2009 Milan has the worst timing ever to release these quotes to the press! I mean, come on Milan, history has shown whenever you come out in the press it all goes tits up!!!! 16th December - "Fringe players can go" Next game - Leicester 4 - 0 Peterborough I wouldn't mind if that happened again!
Raj Posted 19 March 2009 Posted 19 March 2009 He can target the Premier League all he wants, aslong as he doesn't demand it. Next season is about stability for me. DEMAND IT!!

Let's be fair to MM though. Would you keep quiet if you owned the football club? His heart is in the right place & his intentions are good & IMO very sincere.
Corky Posted 19 March 2009 Posted 19 March 2009 Let's be fair to MM though. Would you keep quiet if you owned the football club?His heart is in the right place & his intentions are good & IMO very sincere. But making these bold predictions is putting more pressure on Pearson and the players, who have very tough jobs at the moment. His heart and intentions might be good but if he takes a back seat, like Lerner for example, or Kenwright, success can be achieved and he won't look ridiculous if it all falls apart.
