Asian consortium to buy out City

[Blue Maniac]

I heard he was selling only half of his share!?

Where from?

 

[FryattFox]

I heard that he was just selling the club shop, 2 parking spaces, the centre circle and the Birch.

And before you ask, I refuse to name my source.

FF, are you The Birch..?.

Bnet on Bentleys seems to think it will be happening soon and Bert on FT has said the takeover "picked up speed today". I think bnet has posted inside info before and been correct, I know Bert has.

Could be an interesting few weeks.

The standard, vague, yet absolutely correct in hindsight post, from ol' Bobby here.

He speaketh in riddles.

Bob Hazell is basically, God, and that is what I am thinking right now, on LSD, talking to my hand, whose name is Homer who always wants to scratch my arse, which is blue.

From The Guardian ...

Milan Mandaric is in talks with a consortium that is expected to lead to him selling a significant part of his stake in Leicester City by the middle of next week.

The former Portsmouth owner, who has been eager to attract fresh investment to the Championship club, is close to agreeing a deal with a group of businessmen that would see him work in partnership with them initially before ultimately relinquishing control and standing down from his position as chairman.

How quick that process might happen is unclear at the moment but Mandaric, who is 71, is known to be keen to reduce his commitment to the club to free up more time.

The Serbian-American, who took control at Leicester three years ago, is expected to retain a 51% stake in the short term that would allow him to continue as chairman ahead of the new season. Leicester are set to make an announcement over the next couple of days to clarify Mandaric's position.

It's a sound business move to get new owners in place now rather than be forced to sell if he's found guilty of being a tax dodger.

I bet Ted is hoping we do too.
