stivesfox Posted 5 August 2010 Author Posted 5 August 2010 more news just broke on BBC site Thai consortium eyes deal to buy Leicester for £39m A consortium headed by Thai business tycoon Vichai Raksriaksorn is in talks to buy Leicester City. BBC Radio Leicester understands that the group is planning to take an initial 49% stake in the club. That would leave current owner Milan Mandaric in overall control of the Championship club for the time being.

His daughter Voramas Raksriaksorn, King Power's creative and communications director, told the Bangkok Post that negotations are ongoing. She said: "All the rumours about the Leicester City Football Club will be cleared up very soon." Balls am I learning how to pronounce that. From now on he shall be knows as Rakman.

Jackirius Posted 5 August 2010 Posted 5 August 2010 NET WORTH $180 million AGE 51 MARITAL STATUS Married, 4 children His King Power, which has monopoly on retail at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport, took hit when protesters shut down airport in November. Sales also slipped amid drop in airport traffic. Polo player has own field, dozens of ponies. Seems to have lost 30million in 2 years... I particularly like the bit at the end... Polo player has own field, dozens of ponies. That just tops it off.
Ozwin Posted 5 August 2010 Posted 5 August 2010 I'm quite pleased Mandaric is sticking around for a while longer, shows he does care for us at least a little bit.and doesn't want us to fall into the wrong hands.
Tilley Posted 5 August 2010 Posted 5 August 2010 I'm quite pleased Mandaric is sticking around for a while longer, shows he does care for us at least a little bit.and doesn't want us to fall into the wrong hands. You do have a point. I'd be very concerned if this was a 100% buyout and Mandy was out the door. At least he can help them along the way before selling the remainder of his shares.
Ozwin Posted 5 August 2010 Posted 5 August 2010 Definately and if they're massive jebends he's always got the final say.
dandannieldanok Posted 5 August 2010 Posted 5 August 2010 Definately and if they're massive jebends he's always got the final say. Problem is that Mandaric is a massive jebend himself.
stivesfox Posted 6 August 2010 Author Posted 6 August 2010 Didnt he stay at Portsmouth for a while with Gaydamak I am sure he did 6 months before he took over lock stock!!! Problem is that Mandaric is a massive jebend himself.
Shrenchel Posted 6 August 2010 Posted 6 August 2010 He owns a fvcking field. Let the good times roll.

Lillehamring Posted 6 August 2010 Posted 6 August 2010 doesn't sound like he's that much better of than mandy... i'm going to remain resolutely sceptical until billions are cited...
Jordan Posted 6 August 2010 Posted 6 August 2010 This is going to go so horribly tits up. We're probably broke anyway--if we're gonna go bust, we might as well let a That hedonist spendthrift take control and start going crazy. Who knows? It might be fun to watch... for a few months, anyway. Rakman's daughter Vera: I see the money the club will save from letting go of The Birch's wages will be enough to supply Vera with enough mascara to last her about 8 hours.
andy_croydz Posted 6 August 2010 Posted 6 August 2010 Well if we have 'King Power' as the new shirt sponsor then i'm sure Andy will like it
tomtom Posted 6 August 2010 Posted 6 August 2010 $180 million - is that fucking it? Er, that's what I was thinking ....what happened to the billions rumours ? Or is there about 8 others with the same amount too ?
haraven Posted 6 August 2010 Posted 6 August 2010 We'll get a foxy Vera co-chairlady if nothing else. Rather have her than Hoos speaking to the media.
Bellend Sebastian Posted 6 August 2010 Posted 6 August 2010 Let me be the first to welcome our new benevolent overlords. Any chance of some discounted booze, Vich? It's me Nan's 90th soon
