Leicester City set to unveil third members in the consortium

[Si Nick]

I don't know about the third member, but on the train back from Swansea to London on Saturday, Mad Mandy was surrounded by about ten persons from the Asian subcontinent in first class.

Were they demanding their money back

Were they demanding their money back

You've just reminded me that I haven't made my compensation claim yet.

 

[Real Sharapova]

Even the gods can find themselves delayed on First Great Western.

What time did you/they get back to Paddington?

50 minutes late = no compensation.

 

[bocadillo]

50 minutes late = no compensation.

We were just over the hour late into Paddington. Leaving Reading 66 minutes late, the driver did his best to get it under the hour but just failed. :icon_bigg

Given that the FA have given their approval of clubs takeover, why is there continuing secrecy about the third member(s) of the consortium. It seems very strange to me, unless course there's to be drums, fanfares and press conferences, but even then the momentum appears to have been lost, its strange very strange indeed.

Perhaps there is a fair number of 'investors' who are involved in the consortium. I believe that there is a rule that stakeholders above a certain level have to go through the FA's 'fit person' process - but maybe there is no additional major party involved that's likely to cause any particular excitement.

That's at odds with what little we have been told hitherto.

 

[Scotfox]

Strange very strange, there couldn't be an 'unknown number', surely the FA would never have ratified the deal.

They haven't...

Stringy was trying (hard) to get the info out of MM on Monday night. He (MM) said that he would release the information soon as soon as things were sorted out.

What things and how they needed sorting wasn't revealed.

(So in other words, despite his best efforts, Stringy got nothing from MM)

And probably never will on this subject.

Well today's the day the foxes trust said they would report the club if no new info had been reported!

No-one likes a grass.

 

[Micky]

No-one likes a grass.

Not even this one...

 

[camberwell fox]

Not even this one...

Particularly that one.

I've got to say that at the beginning i was interested who this mystery number 3 was, this was then replaced with mild interest that has now manifested into complete apethy.

What a farce.

Well the football league approved the deal so they know who it is don't they?

 

[homer]

They can report what they like

Although the League would wish to see them comply with the spirit of the new rules, the club aren't actually obliged to reveal the info until April next year

 

[Scotfox]

Its the mushroom syndrome again, keep the fans in the dark and feed them shite now and again.

Well as I understand it only stakeholders with a a substantial stakeholding are scrutinised by the FA - I can't recall the precise figure - but it may be 10%.

As always, I stand to be corrected on this but I think that the Foxes Trust is getting a bit over-excited by this and the strong likelihood as Homer points out is that the club is operating within FA rules on its reporting of matters.

It is 10% but it's the Football League doing the scrutinising not the FA.
