I know this is all wild speculation but hey that's what these type of forums is all about.
I can't help wonder whether the Bangkok incident is still involved with all of this and the owners could be looking for a way out.
When we take the blue tinted glasses off and look at the facts - the value of LCFC even with the new TV package is significantly less than the King Power brand. Do we even make a profit?
Owners buy our PL clubs for a variety of reasons. Many US owners realise that the value in broadcasting has only just started as things move to the Internet.
I dont know whether King Power are in it for that. King Power's business model is intrinsically linked to the Thailand tourist economy and the Thai royal family. They need the royal warrant to open more airport shops and tourists to come through the gates to spend money.
The Thai authorities have openly stated they want more competition for duty free shops beyond the KP monopoly. At the same time KP want to expand throughout Asia
LCFC will forever be linked to an unsavoury incident that highlights the seedier side of Thailand the authorities do not want to promote.
Is it possible Vichai will want to disconnect himself and his business (that he built from nothing) away from any possible reference to the incident and LCFC to protect much bigger business interests.
Or even perhaps he's been told to by the provinces power brokers.
Just a theory to throw out there

How do you know this?we had an obstinate manager who refused to apologise for either his players' or his son's sickening behaviour.

Jeez that course wasn't on offer when I was at uni, how things have changed.
I like to invent entire scenarios that never happened when I have no notion of what the facts are, it helps me to rationalise that which I can't comprehend.

I've just been here. No sign of the manager at all. That can only mean one thing...
Wrong. They are happy for the manager and staff to make decisions. They just don't want someone who is going to set a bad example.The owners also want someone to do as he's told. Which do they want more?

Albert on Foxestalk says he's not coming here in any capacity. He's normally solid.
