The then 'Walkers Stadium' cost us £37 million ... it was meant to be an investment but at the time we were a not very good Championship club ... our owners at the time were notoriously tight fisted and our record signing was Ade Akinbiyi for £5 million ... so we weren't exactly profligate in our spending ... the ITV Digital collapse was the tidal wave of a 'perfect storm' in terms of what it did for our prospective future ...
Part of the reason that the fans so love King Power is the decades of under investment that we endured under previous owners... Mandric was just a speculator... clever one ... get us back to the Champinship ... cash-in ... worked for everyone.
Unlike the Spurs owners, King Power have all but eliminated our debt, not increased it exponentially.... and put the stadium back in club ownership ... also invested in the City of Leicester itself with the Premature baby unit and other community projects ...
... but Polly has intimate knowledge of bungs made to a military Junta... he also thinks Dodgy Dan is in it purely because he loves Spurs
