Jackirius Posted 22 October 2010 Posted 22 October 2010 not related but it says on BBC site Swansea game tomorrow but on FT's calendar its on Monday apparently.....(didn't want to start a thread on this as there's no need to) Its tomorrow, i think it got moved to Monday because it was going to be on sky then it got moved back because they weren't going to cover it. I think.
The Padster Posted 22 October 2010 Posted 22 October 2010 Its tomorrow, i think it got moved to Monday because it was going to be on sky then it got moved back because they weren't going to cover it. I think were playing West Brom in the cup on Tuesday.
sdb Posted 22 October 2010 Posted 22 October 2010 yeah i've said it before but for me MM is a bit of a wally and nothing more. i don't mind him and i think a lot of the crap that's happened in his time has been unforeseen at the time
Guest bennytwohats Posted 22 October 2010 Posted 22 October 2010 So we're rich now? Do we have any idea yet how rich we are? i.e. can we have a swipecard for a season ticket now?
Guest Basildon Fox Posted 22 October 2010 Posted 22 October 2010 Why does he have to be so cryptic about everything? He says they need to finalise the package. What package? Well done Ian Stringer for pushing him. It just sounds shady.
cc_star Posted 22 October 2010 Posted 22 October 2010 I'm just concerned that the mystery owner will be a political figure and if they're ever removed from power they could have their assets seized just like Sin did at Man City, although if we end up being owned by billionaires we'll be laughing

He handed them over to his family as politicians aren't aloud to have a hand in businesses. He is apparently only worth 300 odd million on forbes but the wealth he handed to his family reaches into the billions.
Jackirius Posted 22 October 2010 Posted 22 October 2010 Any news of this 3rd owner yet??? Im hoping its that Chidchob chap just because of the name.
Lineker's Left Foot Posted 22 October 2010 Posted 22 October 2010 Im hoping its that Chidchob chap just because of the name. It's not Chidchob, as he's not Indonesian. However, I thought there were more than three members of this consortium.
Jackirius Posted 22 October 2010 Posted 22 October 2010 It's not Chidchob, as he's not Indonesian. However, I thought there were more than three members of this consortium. Probably is, its just us that are saying the '3rd investor' im yet to hear milan or top say it.
Foxes_Trust Posted 22 October 2010 Posted 22 October 2010 In RL interview MM said that "substantial people in Indonesia" are in the consortium and that he will "declare in a short time". Ian Bason of Foxes Trust was also interviewed. He is wrong in saying it HAS to be revealed on the club's website. It doesn't. The regulations do not take effect until April 2011. The Foxes Trust should know what the regulations say but obviously they haven't got a clue. We were told this directly by the Football League and we can assure you that the League is "very keen" to ensure the information is released quickly to the fan base - you could say "in the spirit of the new regulations" otherwise serious questions will be asked of the FL about the effectiveness of the new regulations, this is the first case to run under the new rules - it is of high importance to the FL that fans have the information quickly. The League has already been assured by the club that the information will be released quickly. We will give the club a limited amount of time to release the information & if it doesn't we will formally raise the issue with the Football League
fox123 Posted 23 October 2010 Posted 23 October 2010 How the f00k can the Football League ratify the deal if they don't know 100% facts? I mean if they are trying to make examples of clubs then surely we are prime candidates if this unknown investor has not been clarified by the FL. Strikes me as either there is no mystery investor and Milan is just being his usual cock self, or the FL know something we don't! Either way, why should there be a big secret over some investors we probably haven't heard about?

Are you sure that your post is correct in that the Football League can compel immediate compliance?
Babylon Posted 25 October 2010 Posted 25 October 2010 Reasons for keeping it quiet. a) The person is a bit dodgy. b) The person is loaded and we don't want to push up January transfers by letting people know, thus meaning information would be released after the window. c) The person doesn't want it coming to light yet, for whatever reason. d) We are just digging our heels in about the new rules and will do it the day before we need to.
AmyLGK Posted 25 October 2010 Posted 25 October 2010 Sorry if this has already been mentioned in this post - but if someone owns more than 10% of a club then they HAVE to be identified - but I don't know under what time frame. But surely it should be sooner rather than later!
Guest shearfox Posted 25 October 2010 Posted 25 October 2010 I would imagine the 3rd investor is not dodgy, I'm sure the FL would have needed to know who it was before the deal was ratified. So I would go for b, c, or d
Lcfcman2010 Posted 25 October 2010 Posted 25 October 2010 Sukanto Tanoto? richest Indonesian. worth $3.8 Billion would be nice!

But surely it should be sooner rather than later! Foxes Trust in the above post don't make the position clear as to whether it is immediate or not. I think it has to be done "by April 2011" as Ian Stringer surmised on RL.

But surely it should be sooner rather than later! Take a look at the Leeds United ownership and you realise how confusing the situation can be. You could have individuals owning 9.99% each which wouldn't be difficult in a consortium! Enough speculation as tempting as it may be. We don't even know if MM owns anything since his previous ownership (?) of LCFC shares was/is held in a company registered in Delaware U.S.A.

I think it has to be done "by April 2011" as Ian Stringer surmised on RL. We don't have to be hung up about what any particular document says or doesn't say on timescales. The Football League want this information made available to the fans quickly under the spirit of the new rules, it would be embarrassment to the Football League if the information is not released quickly. The club have told the Football League, the fans will be given the information quickly, we expect the club to honour this promise. For anyone reading this on behalf of the football club, The Foxes Trust interpretation of quickly is "one week from the Takeover being ratified by the Football League". If we move into November without the information, we will be calling the Football League

I am sorry that you can't get to grips with the details of the new rules. If the Foxes Trust holds itself out as a model supporters' organisation you should know the chapter and verse of the new rules/regulations.
