Is this the Mandaric rumour? If so then it would be a great thing imo. He is committed as a chairman, will invest in all sides of the operation and be a more attractive proposition for new players. Can't see it happening though!

Mandaric as chairman would be fantastic! It would be great for the club!

I agree with that Geo - I hope it does happen, but i don't see it for the forseable fututre with him still chairman at Portsmouth. Would be great though, some money to buy some players!

If Colchester, Ipswich and Sunderland get some points on the board you can definitely expect to be over taken at the weekend!

There's an interview with him on Radio Leicester tonight, I heard a clip in the news bullitin, paraphrased: "I can't talk about taking over Leicester now, but maybe we'll talk about it later, I won't be out of football for long." ;D??

I get the feeling that MM does have us in mind, we may not be the only ones but otherwise there was no reason at all why he should have accepted the interview on this day of all days unless he was sounding out the 'local' situation. He could just have easily said no. He also responded to John Barber with " I'm sure we'll talk again" Intriguing....

Milan Mandaric has played down reports of a takeover bid for Leicester following his exit from Portsmouth. Mandaric, who had been non-executive chairman at Pompey since selling his share in the club, stepped down from that job after Monday's loss to Bolton.
He told BBC Sport: "I'm a football man and love the game so am not ruling out that one day I will participate somewhere else.
"I'm not thinking about it now. I need a rest and will see what I want to do."
He added: "Right now, I just want to live with my very rich memories of Portsmouth."

From the BBC website Yeah he seemes to be saying the same things in his interview with Radio Leicester. I don't think from what he said here, and particularly what he said on RL about wanting to get back into football one day, and respecting Leicester that it rules us out. But I don't think he is ready to do anything yet - whether he wants a break fom it all, or is going to wait until January or later to assess teams' situations and prospects I don't know, but he won't do anything soon. I still have hope though, our debt is unattractve but I would doubt there are many clubs who would probably welcome him with as open arms as we would.

I still have hope though, our debt is unattractve but I would doubt there are many clubs who would probably welcome him with as open arms as we would. From what I've been told for the next 18months any takeovers will have to pay creditors that we owe, which would cost an approximate extra £12million. But after this time period the club will effectively cost nothing, I think
