    Basing that on what exactly.

    Well either way we shall enjoy signing players like Mills, Danns and Nugent. Whilst being linked to players like Hargreaves, Owen and Beckham.

    You keep doing your thing by signing….who exactly. Your supposed to be a red/white character which is why GREEN doesn’t suit ya pal. Jog on.

    ... take note.

    IT`S THE CLUBS MONEY WE ARE NOT BORROWING IT, THE OWNERS ARE STINKING RICH & ARE`NT GOING TO PUMP IN MILLIONS & MILLIONS OF QUID FOR SWEET FA.
    THE CLUB BELONGS TO THEM, THEY PAID FOR IT FROM THEIR OWN MONEY NOT THE BANKS...

    Exactly, its not like we just decided, after not spending any money for nearly 10 years to say '**** it' lets ruin the club.

    If we werent bought by a wealthy thai consortium, then we'd still have Nigel Pearson buying talent on the cheap from around the leagues and you'd be jealous for completely different reasons

    .. I share your frustration 1884 at the complete lack of understanding from other supporters, but I'm really really enjoying it at the same time, like being on top of Old John and seeing the others all the way down there, shouting and protesting.... 'cause it's not fair'

    Nice to see a Soton fan taking an interest in our club.

    At least we are going bankrupt by signing players our country cousins from down the M69 are going bankrupt without signing any players.

    It is nice to see the amount of them that we are getting now (all through jealousy of course) it is not quite back to the standard of what it was on BBC606 but at least it is a start

    You are correct in one sense we will do a Pompey, by getting out of this division as champions but as for the rest, a bit wide of the mark there my friend, our 'Owners 'actually do own the club and not the banks!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yes we'll be hated like Chelsea and Man.City AND the REAL SPENDING STARTS when we reach the Premier League. Their LONG TERM AMBITION is CHAMPIONS LEAGUE. For once, we're loving it, as at last, people are starting to hate us with green eyes. Just because your saviour popped his clogs.. not our fault.. now how many years did it take you to get our of L1??

    The reason we won't do 'a Pompey' or 'a Notts' is simple; because our owners are businessmen, not fraudsters or convicts or charlatans. The owners at Pompey and Notts were either lying about their wealth, lying about how they gained their wealth or didn't even exist! Our owners are a father and son team who have a very respected business, King Power, and an estimated wealth of app. £4bn. From what I understand, the Pompey owners only had a wealth of a few million, and the Munto Finance brigade were a bunch of frauds. That is why they failed; because they both run up debts and loans aligned to the club without having the capital to clear them. Our owners are not running up debt in our name, they are investing their capital from their own money. And it is much harder for our owners to ever 'do a runner' - because unlike the Pompey and Notts owners, our owners have a real business which is credible and well-known, and they have joined up their business with our club. If they ever ran away from our club, leaving it in millions of pounds of debts, how do you think people would take to King Power? Their credibility would be destroyed and they'd have thousands of LCFC fans banging on their door! KP want to use LCFC to promote their brand in Europe, whilst LCFC will inturn be promoted in Asia (hence why two of Asia's biggest companies, Singha and Air Asia, are two of our sponsors). That's the difference between the Mickey Mouse oil barrons and proper businessmen; it's a two way relationship.
