GaelicFox Posted 7 December 2014 Posted 7 December 2014 They have been great the owners but he made some HUGE statements after promotion this January we need to see the cash being spent, promotion is worth close to £250m over 3 years including parachute payments , time to spend Leicester owner 'will spend £180m' 13 May 2014 Updated 08:12 Newly-promoted Leicester City's owner wants a top-five finish in the Premier League within three years - and will spend the money needed to get there. The Championship title winners have returned to the top flight after a decade-long absence. Billionaire Thai chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha outlined the club's next steps to reporters in Bangkok. He said: "It will take a huge amount of money, possibly 10bn Thai Baht (£180m), to get there. That doesn't put us off." Srivaddhanaprabha added: "I am asking for three years, and we'll be there. "We won't take the huge leap to challenge the league's top five clubs immediately. "Do we have a chance to beat them? Yes, we have, but I think we need to establish our foothold in the league first and then we think about our next step. Nigel Pearson's side collected 102 points on their way to landing the Championship title. And the manager shares his chairman's optimism. "The important thing is we're going with a belief that we can achieve," he said after showing off the Championship trophy to fans in the Thai capital. "It's important we continue to improve everything about ourselves. So, we can challenge for the top five. But, of course, one step at the time." Leicester have qualified for Europe three times, most recently as the 2000 League Cup winners. They went out of the 2000-01 Uefa Cup in the first round, losing 4-2 on aggregate to Red Star Belgrade of Serbia.
Harry - LCFC Posted 7 December 2014 Posted 7 December 2014 You need to realise that the £180m comment was bollocks. Don't repeat it again. Ever.
Babylon Posted 7 December 2014 Posted 7 December 2014 £250m it's not worth that £180m, oh you believed that one.
cc_star Posted 7 December 2014 Posted 7 December 2014 Or take the money, using it to pay down the purchase price, money Sven spunked, ongoing costs since, stadium, etc & etc and they'll just about break even on the £120m Think they'll be funds available & **** we're going to need it to attract anyone if we're adrift of safety by January

cc_star Posted 7 December 2014 Posted 7 December 2014 Anyone decent in the champ this season? No one as good as Morgan, Drinkwater & the rest were last season Wonder if well be back in for Deeney & McGoldrick for about £15m each or whatever it ended up at in the summer
Fox92 Posted 7 December 2014 Posted 7 December 2014 Dunno who quoted that £180million, Nige has said numerous times it wasn't/isn't true.
