I reckon we will have about £2Mill to spend, can't see it being around £5Mill.

No no, you've got it wrong, he's the face of Maryland Chicken now. Signed up for a TV commercial and the chicken wings are now called 'Messi Wings'
 
The owners have admitted they prefer polo and we are basically an advertising gimmick, can't see them spending much more than it's cost them to buy the club to be honest. I think we'll be opperating on little more than the clubs own income.

Being an advertising gimmick might be the least of our problems.

I think that you are probably right.

The sort of assets that the consortium is supposed to muster i.e. circa £100m - isn't a mass of wealth that suggests they would want or could speculate large sums on new players. So whilst it's a fact that they would want to get promotion and could only make big money out of the club itself by getting us into the Premiership - they could have a business model of controlling expenditure and being reasonably content to use the club to become stakeholders in English league football and for their brand marketing purposes.

We have entered new territory in as much as the previous owners of the club have had either some sort of affiliation with Leicester or in the case of Milan, a person fairly long associated with the game in this country.

I think this sort of thing was inevitable given Milan's age and desire to recoup his investment - but I'm not sure that it will bring a lot of joy.
 
My first thoughts on this are that I don't quite know what to think! And this may sound obvious but I see it going either spectaculary wrong and disaster beckons or we'll some how get promotion and we'll all be living in dream land.

I'm hopeful of the latter as I suspect there's more money available than just the individual wealth of Riak..The new owner, as it's a consortium takeover, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's additional wealthy (very wealthy) investors!

Buying a club in the second tier of football that has the infrastructure to cope with premier league football and its rules about academies etc.. Costs a tiny tiny fraction of what it would cost to jump in at the deep end and buy a club already there and established. Putting into perspective, they've acquired the whole football club lock stock and barrel for probably somewhere near the figure the deal is worth for Man City to have bought James Milner!

So, to finaly make my point I think there may well be more money available than we think!
