Transfer Budget

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

From Bangkok Post:
"His son Aiyawatt, now a Leicester director, said the club need quality defenders and midfielders but manager Paulo Sousa will be allowed to look for players he wants and Aiyawatt will then make a decision whether the club should buy them."

Obviously written before Boro game otherwise he would have added 'and quality goalscorers' to the list!

My m8 says he heard that the budget is 10mill. Also that they are looking to increase capacity to 42 thousand?

The 42,000 is in the Mockery apparently. :icon_roll

Club chairman Milan Mandaric said: "We have big plans to take the club into the Premier League.

"We need a bigger stadium for that. There's a five-year target to increase the capacity to between 40,000 and 42,000.

"King Power is showing tremendous ambition and I'm confident that it will happen."

Maybe more than 10 million, bloody hell, we haven't had money like that since Taylor who spent it all on crap players. I have my doubts about this consortium, but who can refuse money like this, and an increase in the stadium size, if all this happens I will take back all negative stuff I have said previously.

 

[Kingy_85]

Im not keen on the takeover but like you said who can complain really ? Everything that they have said points to the Prem. Exciting times !

(but why am I still a little dumbstruck/nervous about it all?)

Oooooo, thats why.

Why increase the capacity when we are pricing fans out of coming to the games? It was 21,500 on Saturday (less than Boro got for their opening game!!!)

With increased capacity in this division, they'd have to lower prices.

I wouldn't be confident of 42,000 even in the prem... although maybe for Utd at home etc.

Wonder how long it would take them to do this extension?

 

[Jeff]

maybe for Utd

I doubt a match against West Ham will be that well attended.

 

[Nottingham Fox]

It might be ... Karen Brady

 

[Ian Marshall]

We've had 32,000 week in week out before in the prem. I'm guessing that with a sensible pricing structure, just about every game will get at least this.

 

[SJN-Fox]

Mmmm ... Liam Brady

FFS Notts, you get worse.

Exactly.

Seems to me the King Power ***** have done this press conference in Bangkok just to show off a new toy. The pair of them refused to say anything specific in the 'unveiling' deal.

It does come across as if they are showing off. Though I agree with others that in the Premiership (with sensible pricing) we could easily get crowds to fill that capacity. Sensible pricing being a big issue with our club these days

 

[Mawsley]

42,000 to see the King Power Dynamos play Wigan?

At current prices?

:icon_lol:

Stupid Chavs fan said we would have no chance of filling the stadium of 42,000 so I looked at the attendances for when we were last in the Premiership.

Last time we were in the Prem we failed to break 30,000 attendances 4 times in all competitions according to the OS - Against Crewe (27,675), Man City (18,916), Bolton (26,674) & Fulham (28,392) - Two of them were cup, Bolton was the lowest attendance of the Premiership season which was a Tuesday night fixture & Fulham well they just aren't a team that people want to watch apparently.
