DECISION DAY
Milan Mandaric will discover a week today whether his £25million takeover bid for Leicester City has been successful.
The 48 shareholders will discuss his proposals at an extraordinary general meeting on the morning of the Championship match against Preston North End.
The historic meeting will take place at the Walkers Stadium, making it an even bigger day off the pitch than on it.
Mandaric, who is out of the country at the moment, says all he can do now is wait for the City board and shareholders to either accept or reject in principle a bid which appears to have overwhelming public support.
The Serbian/American businessman said: "There is nothing more for me to do at the moment, and it is entirely up to the board and the shareholders now.
"The negotiations have gone very well and I am optimistic that my bid will be accepted, although the club say they might have alternatives to consider.
"I don't know what these might be. All I can say is that they know what I am proposing and, from what I feel about the people I have dealt with, they are committed to doing what is best for the future of the club.
"They will do what they think is right and, if everything works out, I will look forward to working with them to bring success to the club, which means getting back into the Premiership where I think the club should be."
The vital importance of this epoch-making, or breaking, decision is not lost on anyone, least of all the prime mover in the negotiations, City chairman Andrew Taylor.
In his programme notes for today's Championship match at home to Plymouth, he writes: "The next phase of the future of Leicester City is likely to be defined in the coming weeks.
"The club has passed from private to plc ownership and back again in the past 10 years.
"Just three years ago, a community of local investors, Leicester City fans all, dug deep and saved the football club. That may sound all rather grand but that's exactly what happened.
"They want what is best for Leicester City.
"They acted selflessly in 2003 and you can be assured they will do the same thing when they meet to discuss the options available to take the football club forward."
Does this mean that we dont have to talk about it all week?
I presume the board have called the meeting in order to recommend the offer. I wouldn't expect the shareholders to go against the board so why don't we spend the next week coming up with some Milan Mandaric chants.
Yes foooking please, although im sure you will struggle to get anyone to sing them with you as most people were struggling to sing Leicester, leicester leicester leicsteeeeeeeeeer today.
it will be the biggest moment in the history of the club or thereabouts and i know for a fact all the miserable tossers down the walkers will just sit and clap when its confirmed, milan will be wondering what he's gotta spend to get half the people in the ground to open their mouths.
re: milan mandaric chants
today i introduced
"milan is a leicester fan"
"stand up if you want milan"
"we want mandaric say we want mandaric"
"milan mandarics blue n white army"
"milan for leicester"
not many joined in i must say.
This thread isn't about todays game, so I apologise for digressing, but in response to the above posts I saw nothing to sing about today, i guess others didn't also
Spot on, we don't do that very well either.one thing i noticed was when we were singing and generating an atmosphere it lifted the team and gave them some adreneline.
do you want to be one of those teams who only sing when were winning because that pisses me off more than anything. saying that we didnt really bother when we were winning either.
