That is why they pushed NP out of the club the first time he was here?

No they didnt, it was mandaric who had a problem with NP.

This topic has long since had 2 versions of events, so just wanted to confirm 'Foxin hell' is correct

Or even closer to the truth, Lee Hoos. :thumbup:

That Lee Hoos was to blame for a lot that went wrong at city a few years ago. . . . . . Alledgedly

Mandy=money=compensation payment for Pearson

I makes me wonder what would have happened if Hoos was still around and why is my phone auto-correcting Pearson with Pratson

I think the main thing to come out of that awful teenage magazine type interview was Top again saying they are here to stay come what may. We all remember the uncertainty of the past few years not knowing if we would still have a club to support, well now we do and if we get promoted I shall by HIM a pint. :scarf:

The Thai owners have pumped many millions into Leicester City since taking control in the bid for the Premier League. The Srivaddhanaprabha family took control more than two-and-a-half years ago and last season alone pumped £36million into the club.

The Birch spoke to the club's vice-chairman Aiyawatt 'Top' Srivaddhanaprabha about the family's plans, hopes and dreams for City.

    PROUD: City vice-chairman Aiyawatt 'Top' Srivaddhanaprabha and his father, Vichai, who he says was his biggest influence

 

Why Leicester City?

Because the time was right and when they introduced me and my dad to Milan Mandaric at the stadium my dad asked me if I remembered the first English game he took me to see, which was the League Cup final between Leicester and Middlesbrough. Something connected with me inside.

Has owning the club lived up to expectations?

Absolutely.

What are your plans for the club?

I have said all along that we plan to stay here for a long time. If we are not promoted to the Premier League we will keep trying everything we can to get into the Premier League. We build everything for the fans and make the club for everyone to enjoy and have fun. We are totally committed to the club.

When we get into the Premier League, is the city going to see the biggest party it has ever seen?

Of course, we are going to fill the stadium for that party one day. And the first round is on me!

Was you educated in England?

No, in Thailand.

What other sports do you play?

I play anything and everything. Polo, football, basketball, swimming; I play everything except rugby.

If you go out for dinner, what do you prefer to eat?

Besides Thai food, I like Italian and Japanese.

City or Tigers?

City of course.

Beach or skiing?

I love a nice beach.

Finest moment?

Playing polo with Prince William and Prince Harry.

Who or what is your greatest love?

My family is my greatest love, my mum and dad.

Favourite music and artist?

Maroon 5

If you are watching television, do you watch a soap or Question Time?

I would watch a soap, but I don't really watch either.

What was the first record you bought?

Linkin Park, I think.

Who inspired you when you were starting out?

My dad.

Which team, except for City, athlete or musician would you pay to see?

A Lady Ga Ga concert.

Favourite album?

Maroon 5 again.

What was the last film you saw?

Skyfall

Do any books interest you?

Bring Back The Birch!

English breakfast or cereal and fruit?

Cereal and fruit

If you could change one thing in sport what would it be?

Technology being used to help officials in football, because I remember Frank Lampard's goal against Germany in the World Cup which was over the line but wasn't given.

What makes you laugh?

My friends. I enjoy good company and when we score.

What makes you angry?

When we play badly.

It's a light hearted interview which I quite enjoyed! He clearly loves the club! And as to the first round is on me comment, he'll regret that!

Top comes across as a decent bloke. Don't know why people hate them. They're good owners and actually care for the fans.

I'm not sure many hate them and I agree that relative to what we could have, that they are decent owners......but please..."care for the fans"...really?...we are consumers, customers, assets and are treated as such

What an absolute waste of an interview. Embarrassing. 

Posted

What would you perfer ??? My ambition is to eventually buy the Leicester tigers and merge them into one club, called the Leicester city tigers and we will play in red and we will scrap the post horn gallop and come out too mulled by the tigers.

Posted

What really happened was this:

 

Birch: Can I have a pay rise.

Top: No

Birch: Have you got any idea who Terry Robinson is?

Top: No

Birch: Me either

Birch: Can we swap the Kop with the family stand?

Top: No

Birch: I'm off to get pissed....

Posted

Anybody else read that in their head with a real comedy Chinese style accent???

To be honest.....YES(and i've met the owners more than once!)
