Their owners are billionaire businessmen with rock solid economic interests and foundations. It's cost them over a £100 million to get to this point, although some would say they have used LCFC as a great marketing tool to promote themselves and Thailand. They took a gamble and it's paid off, the TV and Premiership cash going forward will see Leicester OK now for the foreseeable too. Fair play to them for their gesture though, the Leicester fans also have sold out just about every home and away game all season to their credit !
The difference is their owners were not looking for a return, our tossers are a hedge fund looking to capitalise.
They might stretch to a 16" Pizza between ALL our supporters in a mid week game away at Fleetwood?
Their owners are fantastic ! Leicester have just gone 1 nil up too !

Correct. Also apparently ours have spent nearly three quarters of that figure for us to fall one league and to get us into the situation we're in now.
Except we all know, they haven't spent nearly that much and that which was spent back in the day was spunked away by that prat Chris Coleman and the likes.
Blaze gone down as well, a win in Nottingham would have been a bonus !
I believe Leicester give out free hooters to create the atmosphere , goodluck to them I hope they win the league and have a good champions league . ironic if the do win the league and villa go down ,still quite fresh when villa took their management team ,or half of it

You've contradicted yourself
SISU are very rich but when they eventually go they will be remembered for

And Highfield 2, project 2050 ! Just lying bastards for me and I guess we have plenty more to follow, especially around May/June when they attempt their yearly season ticket drive !

How ? In that they received substantial marketing ?
SISU need to take note of what the Leicester owners have done. I've read they have invested circa £100m in the club and their last annual accounts show a profit of £25m. (Not 100% sure of the exact figures).
So one years profit is a roi of 25%. This is before the prem win and the champions league income streams.
I've not idea how SISU plan to make their money back (£60m is it?) - but they really need a radical rethink in their investment in the club if they truely want it back?
One things for sure we need to get out of this awful division. And you never know SISU may actually invest again..........
I've said it before and i'll say it again......
LCFC owners spent their £100m on building a squad and putting solid foundations in place. SISU "invested" their money in covering the shortfall in cash flow. They never actually spent their money on anything tangible. That's a huge difference.
Edit: they also bought the ground back for about £25m.

Wow that's huge money.Why are you comparing the two. Sisu haven't spent anything like Leicester or could.
Including transferring debt to equity prior to promotion the spend was in excess of £200 million and a pledge for a further £180 million in the next 5 years.
Their losses in their promotion season was over double the amount FFP would permit.
The wage bill to get promoted was £36 million in one season.
They do marketing for the benefit of?
They've done a good job with Leicester but lets not be under any illusion, they're after a financial return just like SISU are.
Spending money doesn't guarantee success. Think QPR. A successful team and club is one with foundations and a plan. At present time we appear to have neither, well certainly not that us fans are aware of. That said TM appears to be trying to sort the club out. There is only one thing us fans can do. Buy season tickets and support the players no matter what. Won't hold my breath on that though.

Interesting article on what Leicester stand to win in premier league prize and TV money this year if they finish first £90.9M in total compared to the £71.6M won last year. £162.5M in 2 years isn't a bad return on £100M investment. of course you need the money in the first place and the business acumen to make the right decisions with that investment. Something Leicesters owners seem to have in spades. Be interesting to see what they can do next season. Either way you can't take anything away from them, the table don't lie. If they finish top it's because they were the best team
