ding dang doo....
The reason I ask this question is quite simple :
If Mandaric invests and takes ownership then the potential for the club is massive however so are the risks, look at his age, he has no affiliation with the club, what happens if we cannot achieve his ambitions, what legacy / millstone could / would he leave ???
If a fan such as Martin George or David Wilson invest IMO the risks would not be as great as the investment and expectations of the club would be managed to secure the long term future of the club, however this could reduce the potential opportunity for success.
My question is as fans would you prefer to ride the Mandaric rollercoaster regardless of the risk or side with the safer long term investment of a fan but to the detriment of the potential that can be realised.
Are you willing to take a (potentially big) risk, put a known (but suspicious) man in charge, shoot for the big time, and take the consequences - good or bad ?
Or do you want to leave the current gimps in charge, watch them fritter away five million notes, and then sit back and witness the slow and painful death of LCFC
Are you feeling lucky, punk ?

Why is it a roller coaster necessarily? His track record is Pompey - look at them now. I don't get it.
The press release is in:
"Leicester City have today rejected a bid from Milan Mandaric to buy the club outright, buy the Walkers Stadium, and invest £20 million in the first team squad.
Chairman Tim "I need my hundred and sixty grand" Davies stated that the unwelcome attentions of foreign investors would always be repelled:
'we don't need his dirty money" he said "next year sees the clubs 123rd anniversary year, and we are bringing out five new special shirts during the course of the season - all designed by a four year old child who lives next door to me. As for the team, we do not need the money - we will just be working extra hard on the training ground to get things right. They will also be boosted by the introduction of Henry and his Magical Big Band sitting on one side of the stadium, with the happy-clappy choir on the other. That's an atmosphere for you.'
Come on Milan (or mystery A N Other). We need you
My god, do we need you
I do feel we need to be a little cautious. As the trust say you can't just say "here are the keys Milan", we need to see in black and white what his plans are.
in other words th trust are going to look to block the deal.
They really haven't got the power
Actually i think our Chairman is going to make the right decision.....MM will be in by Wednesday.
