Who are "the owners" of Leicester City?

Recommended Posts

Since LCFC is held out as the pinnacle of respectability it's just pathetic that the club sees itself as above having to deal with the Football League Regulations. If this is not complied with it begs the question as to what other regulations are not being complied with.

Are these swipes at the club really necessary?

I was under the impression that AFI own 100% of the club and if you want a name then it's Top and/or Vichai.

I think the real question here is who else is in AFI, but I dont think this rule requires that all members of a private equity group are named. I would be suprised if it's just King Power because they don't seem to make enough money to bankroll this club the way they have done.

I'm always up for a good cycle, but I am not sure that will do it.

Seems to me unreachable's curiosity knows .... bounds. He cannot actually be bothered to try anything. Might as well give up then. :rolleyes:

I have bothered to do something by posting the topic. It may bear fruit.

I suppose I hanker after the good old days when I sat at the EGM at Castle Donnington in the O'Neill days and we knew the names of the main shareholders. It put a face to the corporate side of the club in a transparent way. It didn't stop us of course descending into administration!

You are right that the current Ownership and Directorship tests don't require the identity of every single person to be revealed but just those controlling at least 10%.

The Directors named on the official site probably include those defined as "owners" but other clubs seem to refer to share capital specifically when they refer to Ownership.

I do not wish to be regarded as a trouble maker and have my season ticket withdrawn.

Are you actually being serious here? Sweet Jesus. If you're that scared I will email them when I'm at work tomorrow.

Let the lazy git do it himself!!!

It's not laziness it's a frankly bizarre irrational fear of having his season ticket revoked. I'm quite keen to know the answer so will put my own crippling paranoia aside and find out.

I'm pleased that you're interested as well. I'll create a new email account and do the same.

The Football League Regulation requires the publication of individuals not companies. Asia Football Investments Pty Limited are registered in Singapore and although information can be obtained I don't want to spend my money doing a company search in the expectation that nothing will be revealed.

Many football clubs comply with Regulation 94. Since LCFC is held out as the pinnacle of respectability it's just pathetic that the club sees itself as above having to deal with the Football League Regulations. If this is not complied with it begs the question as to what other regulations are not being complied with.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you say in a previous thread that the search fee is something like $5?

Tell me how, and I'll pay for the search myself. Just as long as I'm not going to end up on some Thai deathlist or get dragged off to the Bangkok Hilton

The website for Singapore Company Searches is http://www.acra.gov.sg/ and the company name is:

Asia Football investments Pte Limited Registration Number 201013260R

Good luck!

I know this is a bit out of date.

Don't whether the other blokes, Cronus, still own shares? Didn't they get bought out?

EDIT: http://www.bbc.co.uk...otball/13439049 Yes they did.

So the owner is Raksriaksorn, end of.

The bbc article does not specifically mention "King Power Sports Investment Limited" but just "King Power".

Vichai Raksriaksorn is often referred to as an owner not just Aiyawatt.

The fact remains that Regulation 94 of the Football League states "That information shall as a minimum be published on the Club’s official website on a page accessible directly from the home page of that official club website" not somewhere hidden in archived Latest News items.

It would not be too difficult for LCFC to clarify the position.

BornBlue has found the information I have been looking for. We are owned by Aiyawatt Raksriaksorn, the only other investor was bought out.

While searching I found something I don't understand though. What is this?

Interesting bit of search engine software which seems to link the proximity of names as the appear on the Internet. We are definitely a fly in King Power's web!

Have you got it yet, I was going to do it but didn't have a payment method? Guessing it will say Top and KingPower sports or whatever its called.

Yes I have. It said that the true owners of Leicester City are Thaksin, Jackie Chan and Kim Jong il (retired)

Actually no I didn't. They seem to use some really dodgy third party payment system which repeatedly freezes or drops out. Which probably means Top and his old man are dining out tonight on the proceeds of my Amex card

On the up side, i think you are now a part owner of either King Power and therefore LCFC. (why arent we in the premier league?..OZfox out!) or your very own ladyboy.
