Leicester City Ownership

[Hugh Gentry]

Khan's please take note

[H4usuallysitting]

They've got a footballing DOF.... won't win nothing with one of them

[HV71]

Son very central but not pretending to be a football genius . As someone else has posted - a very well run club . Money and brains that would be both interesting and useful

[Jules]

Definitely agree. This is the model we should be looking at trying to follow. Well done Leicester!

[Baszab]

I prefer TK's model - much more successful

Mitrovic will end up in AEW as a jobber.

Was going to start a post on the very subject. Well run Club, well done Leicester!

Everything is right with the world when you have men in tights!

Went out when that lot down the road were celebrating their equaliser & returned to find VAR had worked its magic, lovely.

You can tell how well liked he is by the players and staff. Not interfering with the football side but being there for support and encouragement.

So right - a lot of mutual respect from the owners , players , manager and fans and yet none of them are wearing tights . Amazing ! I'm wrestling with that concept yet khanot work it out

[Steeeeeeeeeed]

We did sort of try to follow their model by getting Ranieri in...

Yeah TK playing the part of Andrea Bocelli

[SP]

Haven't seen a lot of LC but I get the impression they no longer rely on Vardy & carry multiple threats from other areas.  I think I have manager & owner envy.

Hardly on topic!

It was great to watch a match with real supporters not dubbed fan noise. First half was dull but a fantastic second half.
Leicester fully deserved their win and the fact that one of the corrupt, greedy "Elite" clubs lost was even better. I detest all ten of them and their lousy, thieving owners. 
Leicester are an intelligently and sympathetically run club. The Khans really need to show the humility to learn something.

Of what, exactly, should the Khan's be taking note? What, exactly, ought they to be learning? And what is the 'Leicester City model' we should be trying to follow? Win the Premier League and then the F.A. Cup? Yeah, sure - let's do that. Yet to simply be told, 'Achieve what they have achieved' is not a lot of help.

Aside from appointing a different DoF - which has nothing more to do with modelling ourselves on The Foxes than it does any other club - who can spell out what Leicester are doing on a day-to-day basis that we need to do? As Steeeed, above, has noted, we appointed the very manager who took Leicester to the League title. That ought to have been a good start. But how did that go? Indeed, if we hadn't already tried it, I suspect it would be one of the recommendations on here.

Maybe we can't simply do what Leicester have done (whatever that is) as there are too many variables that cannot be guaranteed. Buy a non-league striker who turns out to be as good as Jamie Vardy; buy a playmaker from a nondescript foreign club for half-a-million who turns out to be as good as Riyad Mahrez; buy a defensive anchor for little more than £5M who turns out to be as good as Ngolo Kante. Of course, we can and should try. But if it were straightforward, which club wouldn't do the same?

When we went down last time, I recall a similar thread telling me Bournemouth were the model club for us. Ironic, that.

So if I sound sceptical, it's because it's easy to say, 'We should be running our club like them' with little-or-no breakdown of the finer details that separate Leicester from other clubs in an industry where the majority of clubs, in any one year, will not be successful - less still provide any analysis as to how feasible it would be to expect a similar outcome to them were we to do so.

They've (owners Leicester) got a 'ridiculous' number of things right, one of the country's 'elite' clubs now.
