Verma to be released

[Matt_B]

Call me a cynic I wonder whether his asian origin meant MM could sell our asian credentials while looking for a seller.

In the interest of ending the argument I shall go back in time to just after you posted this and simply reply with:

Cynic.

Not necessarily. As pointed out Mandaric was a shrew businessman (at times). It may be more than coincidence that City sign an Indian footballer when it is considered that Leicester, as a city, has a huge Indian population. Perhaps an attempt to bolster shirt sales/gate reciepts at home.

You're fired

Fair enough. It wasn't meant to be a grand theory just a throw away comment that was seized on and twisted in a nasty way to make me look like a lazy borderline racist which couldn't be further from the truth.

CF's post above has made this clearer. If that's what Milan was doing, I can understand the thinking behind it. I think certain types of fan like having local lads in the side too. It didn't really work though, like a lot of MM's ideas.

I'm ignoring Blue Maniac because for some reason which is beyond me he seems to be spoiling for a fight.

It's easy to misunderstand my intended tone.

He's certainly got a nose for talent?

Thanks. I appreciate that.

If you consider that the Tv rights for English football are pretty much monopolised by one company (from India to Japan and certain parts of South-East Asia, it's not such a unfeasible suggestion. Add to that a pretty much free market with the Championship in Asia.

Exactly.

Darlington have offered a contract to Leicester midfielder Aman Verma as well as three of their first-team players. Good for him. :icon_bigg

Scoop!

Scoop!

Quakers have reportedly offered the Leicester-born midfielder a contract to stay.

Are we never to confirm supposition in the future?

 

[Jeff]

The scoop was for the BBC who have been slow to report it.

For example this is from Friday: http://www.darlingtonandstocktontimes.co.uk/sport/football/9025642.Quakers_offer_four_deals/

One would have thought in these slack times that one of my fellow TBers could have posted this last Friday. :icon_sad:

I don't know if Verma is of Indian or Pakistani heritage, but thought he was English anyway? If I was being a cynic, I would say his return was more than likely to do with attracting more fans of Asian heritage to the club.
