Good God. The Pre­mier League may be start­ing this week­end but the Cham­pi­onship is doing its hard­est to get all the atten­tion. It may be bad news for Bris­tol City today, but it’s poten­tially good news for Leices­ter City who have found invest­ment from a num­ber of Asian com­pa­nies, who are in a con­sor­tium led by Aiyawatt Rak­sri­ak­sorn (who in the future I will be refer­ring to as “Leices­ter City owner”). Milan Man­daric will remain as chair­man of the club, but the con­sor­tium has bought a major­ity stake in the Foxes and the new own­ers will take on the clubs debt of £26m as well as the value of the club (which varies depend­ing on who you read). Inter­est­ingly about this takeover is that it is one of the first (if not the first) since the FA announced that there would be stricter rules on who could buy a foot­ball club after the var­i­ous finan­cial prob­lems across the league last season.

The Leices­ter City owner is known for being the owner of Asian duty-free shop­ping cen­tre King Power Group, the com­pany that will be the Foxes shirt spon­sor for the next three years. Excit­ing indeed, but you wouldn’t argue if peo­ple wanted to reserve judge­ment on this deal, as we’ve seen a num­ber of ques­tion­able own­ers come into the Eng­lish game over the past few years. But in any case, this may well mean that Paulo Sousa has more money to bol­ster his squad just before the Cham­pi­onship starts. I always thought this would be an excit­ing and open sea­son, but I didn’t expect twists and turns like this (espe­cially not two in one day).

Thought the season had started unless my trip to palace and the 7 hour coach trip back was all a dream

It doesn't say anything about the Championship season not starting in that article, just that the Premiership season hasn't started yet

Good God. The Premier League may be starting this weekend but the Championship is doing its hardest to get all the attention.

I doubt it, their owner who has just passed away is reportedly worth £2 billion

if he's so rich, how come he's dead?

Green Thai curry for me as a celebration tonight. Initial response is "yes!", a more considered response is "this will be interesting....."

well looking at the free-view video, (On the OS) it looks like the consortium may have about 60% and there looking to buy the club out in 2 years time.

but all that comes to my mind right now is Portsmouth. remember Defoe, crouch, and the 9 other actually decent 11. they won the f.a cup and then went nowhere lost all there money, have debts, are now in this league, and have no money still!

Just called.. Going to get me a couple of season tickets. Where would everyone recommend TBJS sits? Used to sit in the old kop back in the day but when I visit the walkers usually take any seats

Why didn't you get a season ticket for this season before we had a takeover? :rolleyes:

Portsmouth are a small club that are pretty unatractive.

Leicester are a big club with a big name manager.

If we splash the cash on players that get us promoted, they wont want to leave us and our investors are asian football fans who want success, not dodgy eastern european crooks who just want quick money.
