Den, can you point me in the direction of some information, detailing the way ownership of LCFC is split?

You will find nothing online,anywhere about the secret part owner.why this i don,t know.its against the rules i,m sure to have such secret funding.
How can uefa financial fair play be adhered to if no one knows who the mystery backers are( is FFP even still relevant anymore,ive lost touch)..
Maybe you could email your own club and seek confirmation who owns 20% of it. its def a billionaire i can tell u, its def a billionaire with money from oil. thats another billionaire to add to the billionaire chairman.hmm why would two billionaires from two different countries ,two gambling mad countries, get together at little leicester..why would you need two billionaires? lol surely one is enough.one secret. one,apparently not really chairman, but a front for someone else..how awfully muddled.
attractive odds at 5000/1. ladbrookes make a 61% increase in profits.everybody is happy.fans,tigers,refs,billionaire 1 ,billionaire 2,sky "the fairytale"sports, and the whole of the deeply unpopular ruling party in Thailand.
Bingo.oops!

Our team cost less than Eric Lamella!

That's not true. £54 million actually which is more than Lamella. Not to mention the $140 million debt your new owners wiped out, also not to mention the wage bill which while you were in the Championship was 140% of your revenue.

Just saying...be careful when throwing those stones.

If nobody has suggested this mysterious tryst, on the whole wide interweb, how did you find out about it? And if its true, are you suggesting thst there then followed, a wide ranging programme of bribery, involving bookies, PL bods, referees and drug enforcement bodies, allowing little leicester to win the title? How many bookies took bets at those odds, to make the whole operation worthwhile?
Im worried about you Den. I reckon you're hitting the White Lightning again!

Really? Im more deluded than you thought! Id like to see where 54 million went on top of the team that won the Championship.
As for FFP, plenty of clubs have infringed that. I seem to remember being told that their number included yourselves. I cant claim to understand it. I reckon we are sailing close to the wind with it now, hence the difficulty in negotiatig stupid wages for Vardy, Mahrez, Schmiecal and now Danny Drinkwater. Todays "big" clubs have those among their number who threw cast amounts of filthy lucre around to establish themselves. Now their ,"bigness", is assured, no one else is allowed to do it. As we are on an MCFC forum, lets use MCFC as an example. How are your club allowed to spebd another 140 odd million, plus wages, and remain compliant, when mine are resirting to sculldugery to keep players aquired for peanuts?

Did you not read / hear about the £250 million investment in City from Chinese businessmen earlier in the year?

We also have one of the highest incomes per annum of any club in the world, let alone England.

Haha, no idea how he didn't see the China news.

City issued more shares which the Chinese firm bought. That diluted ADUG's holding and gave the Chinese investors a reported stake of 13% in City. Businesses use the capital markets to raise money to invest in their business and a football club could do likewise. I think City did it because they liked the terms: a lot of money for an insignificant loss of euity, and to gain a strategic foothold in important markets, but as far as I understand it for Financial Play purposes it is not allowable income.

I don't see why any Manchester City fan would have an objection to Leicester buying players. What annoys me at times is that the media turns a blind eye to others doing the same. City's rise coincided with a an explosion in transfer fees which massively distorts historical comparisons. Utd broke transfer record after transfer record when the record was £2 million. If you were to index transfer spending, I don't think City's spending would be that extraordinary.
