Leicesters owners

[Darran]

When you look at what Leicester City have achieved over the last few years it makes you think if only our sellout c*nts had held on for the right buyers eh?

Anyone know Daniel Ek good enough to get him to buy the W@nks out? He’s probably vulnerable to seduction as on rebound....

Ha imagine that.

Was having exactly that conversation yesterday. Some good appointments have been made - Potter, Birch, arguably Cooper (jury's out on Winter so far), but let's face it they promised much and delivered little. Anyone have Oprah's mobile number?!

On the Leicester subject, was nice to see them win the cuppppahhhh yesterday - nice for the owner, Brenda etc.. I despise Chelski with a passion too.

Swansea is to much of a backwater geographically to attract the best type of owners
In a perfect world the fans would own the club, every season ticket holder coughs up 2 grand and its possible

How many ST holders - maybe 12k these days? £24M wouldn't buy them out - treble it (ie £6k each) and they may be tempted. As would 12k fans/"investors" too maybe! I'd be tempted.

Yes, I based it on the full season ticket allocation of 20,000

Great owners at Leicester. I think finding the chances of someone like them are few and far between.

Huw Jenkins was loved not that long ago. Owners come and go and fall in and out of favour. All that matters in the long term are the fans.

We'd still be waiting.

It wasn't that long ago they were playing in League One. I think it was the 2008-2009 season. What a story.

Leicester and wolves are really not attractive places to live to be honest. If they can attract motivated wealthy owners I'm sure we could

Its a great story but not quite the fairytale one the media want it to be - they have been heavily heavily invested in and have bought the success

That is not bemoaning them it but the way you read it sometimes in the media you would suggest they have done it on a shoestring budget

They also got "lucky" with the likes of Vardy (probably once in a generation a player from lower leagues having the impact he has had) and they avoided relegation the season before they won the PL by a whisker (relegation could have caused a Sunderland type scenario). Their so-called wealth has also come under scrutiny and seems that their "deal" with the Thai government to provide KingPower services at airports has been challenged (i.e., they allegedly hadn't paid the agreed taxes).

A greater story would have been for KingPower to plough back their profits into supporting the impoverished people of their own country; this goes for all the billionaire owners that use football clubs for their own aggrandisement, with the owners very much using the football club to further their business needs.

But under the current climate, well done Leicester and Brendan especially :lol:
