It says in todays NOTW that Milan mandaric wants to buy a championship club with premiership potential.

Dereck Shaw has said in the past that if someone wants to buy him out he'd be happy to step aside. Would it be a good idea, for Dereck to approach Mandaric and see if he is interested in buying him out?

What are peoples opinions, it was only a short story in the paper, but one that got me thinking, would he be good for us?

Yeah but it says "Premiership potential".

Who are you saying hasn't got it, Leicester or PNE? In terms of crowd potential, Leicester are a much bigger club-they were in the Prem only a few seasons ago. But in terms of potential for getting to the Prem in the short term, NE currently have better players and a better manager.
 
Re: Milan Mandaric

Why does he want to move on to another club?
Wonder if it's Southampton?!!!

Re: Milan Mandaric

Milan Mandaric should find out at lunchtime tomorrow whether his bid to buy Leicester City has been successful or not.

While I was in Leicester last weekend I took the opportunity to have a look at the local press and reaction is very mixed to say the least. Some feel this is the impetus they need to get back to their rightful place (mildly dillusional those Leicester fans) and others think that this is selling out the club and leaves them open to ruin (again) should it go wrong.

Whatever the outcome of the meeting it seems there will be some unrest behind the scenes ahead of our visit. There are no protests/welcomes planned that I am aware of, but still this will add something to the day and hopefully detract from their preparations for the game.
 
Re: Milan Mandaric

Does anyone know what exactly happened at Fratton ?

Was he simply 'outbid' by someone with more Dosh, for example?

It seems well-dodge to someone of nil Corporate Financial nous (me !)
 
Re: Milan Mandaric

As far as I know it was a case of someone with more money coming into the club, intially as an investor, and then as chairman.

I think Mandaric felt he had got Portsmouth to the highest possible position he personally could get them. To break consistently into the Aston Villa, Tottenham, Newcastle (in theory), Middlesborough, Everton group of clubs takes a bit of investment and Mandaric could not provide that.

Once he had lost overall control of the club he naturally became less interested, with gyadamak(?) taking a lot of the credit as the russian oil baron who would deliver champions league to pompey.

Given that mandaric was not actually a pompey fan born and bred it was always a possibility that something like that would happen. For this reason I would rather we had a fan as chairman than someone who wants a play thing, or is out to make money. Precisely this clash, and these questions over his departure from pompey, are causing doubts for many Leicester fans.

It would be helpful to have some input from a pompey fan, but I guess its unlikely one will read this thread 🙂
 
Re: Milan Mandaric

i personally wouldnt want this guy anywhere near north end....he wanted to be the main man at pompey,thats why he brought in the director of football,who actually didnt know a thing about the game in to work above harry,then,when he realised he had made a mighty f-up he brought him back....he is 2 much of a meddler.....
u want a jack walker,someone who loves the club,and backs his managers to make the football decisions...besides,if we go up.its a guarenteed 30mill,if were relegated its another 20mill in parachute payments over 2 years....as long as the club is run right,u dont need a sugar daddy
 
Re: Milan Mandaric

This club is so close to going that final step to the promised land and financialy were not doing too bad so why arnt investers falling over themselves to invest in us ?. MR HEMMINGS could make things happen at deepdale with very little effort on his part , but im thinking now hes never really been interested in helping us , but i cant understand why were given our position not fancied by apparently anyone with any financial clout...
