The last Thai owner (before LCFC) had "interests" in both Man City and Birmingham. A guy whom had political interest in which (from unofficial sources) tells us he's a dodgy bar-steward. It was not his own money he put up front, it was a consortium, just like GLazier's @ Man Utd, Hicks & Gillett @ Liverpool, and your previous owners.
LCFC owners have built up a multi million company in far east asia, and are looking to take there brand global.
Now, if you were buying a club, which option would you take:
1 - Medium sized club, 2nd tier league, centrally based, little or no debt, £50m to take control (icluding ownership of stadium), or
2 - Medium sized club, 1st tier based, capital based, £100m + debt.
By the way, if you choose option 2, your no longer 1st tier......
At the end of the day, s**t happens to both club, country and person. I've been a fox since '91, my 1st city game was the playoff final against Blackburn. I've seen the ups, I've seen the downs, you have seen the same with our own club. You opened this thread with a good statement, "LCFC are signing players left, right and centre, but are they good enough compared to WHU squad". Unfortunately, us fans cannot answer that question. If we could, we would be getting paid the same ££££ as our own respectable managers.
If you buy West Ham you get two stadiums,as well as a 30M grant from the local council and with one of the
stadiums holding 60,000 capacity,on top of this West Ham are based in London,players from abroad are attracted by this,even though your neighbours Villa are in the midlands,they are struggle to get big players in and they are leaps and bounds ahead of you.
So for me I can honestly say I would pick West ham,either way it doesnt really matter,you have got your foreign owners and we have got owners who support the club.
As the other Leicester supporters on here are busy talking in secret gay tongue,who else do you see being the main threat next year ?
I dont fancy Leeds,they may sneak into the play off's,I think Forest might surprise people next year.
I think Birmingham will struggle,they have sold or simply let most of their squad leave,their foreign owner seems to be showing no interest in backing the team so far, all their signings have been freebies nobody else wants
