Do you think someone should tell him not to bother, as this isn't the correct way you should aim for success and that he should go down the route of dippers, arse and rags and build success via your youth academy.

Think someone should pass this article on to Uefa so they can nip it in the bud. Can't have another English team threatening Europe elite can we.
Although judging by his size these think Platini maybe open to a supply of crisps to turn a blind eye.

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.

how many times have we heard this from deluded owners in the past,no decent players will want to go there.
*Ahem*

The Sheikh will get bored. Besides money doesn't buy you success, you know that...
 
That's one hell of a statement from the owner.

If he backs it up, this will be interesting to watch.

Whose going to tell him that UEFA, and the Premier League, have introduced rules to stop him doing that, after all, why should he have the audacity to spend his own money on the football club he owns?!!

A fair few clubs have already written threatening legal action towards the Premier League haven't they? As an aside on the whole FFP thing, this one is interesting.
 
You can't spend your money, you will be punished for regeneration of local area and improving footballing facilities for local and international children
