RL reporting the w/c 15th as when the shareholders will get the document, 'the reason for which is so far unknown'. They're watching! Come on RL, do some real journalism and tell us something we don't know. Bunch of part-timers.

I assume you're talking about Geoff Peters on TalkSport, well I didn't hear it but doubt he has too much inside info. But the war of words between the Mercury and the Foxes Trust is getting quite funny! ;D |

Either the Foxes Trust or the Mockery are going to be left with serious egg on their faces after it's all done and dusted. The Foxes Trust are a joke anyway  |

From Sky
Milan Mandaric is hoping to finally conclude his takeover of Leicester City in the coming days.
The former Portsmouth chairman first made an offer for the Championship club over two months ago, but has yet to finalise the £25million purchase.
Mandaric is now keen for the situation to be resolved within the next week and believes a deal is close to completion.
The Serbian businessman also reiterated his ambition to restore The Foxes to a place in the Premiership.
"We're trying to come close to concluding within several days," said Mandaric. "I'd like it to happen then.
"I'm not interested in keeping Leicester at the level the club is now. My aim is to go back to the Premiership and nothing less than that.
"This club belongs nowhere, but the Premiership. I want to elevate the club and bring it to the level the fans deserve.
"I have a very ambitious plan and will do everything humanly possible to fulfil my plans.
"I wouldn't want to get involved, if I wasn't going to do a proper job."

Come on for god sake.
Mandaric's Foxes takeover delayed
Mandaric left Portsmouth in September last year
Milan Mandaric's £25m takeover of Leicester is close to completion, but the official announcement has been delayed until next week.
The former Portsmouth owner hoped to have tied up the loose ends on the deal before their game against Birmingham.
But it appears there are still legal complications to be ironed out before the change of ownership can be agreed.
It is thought an official announcement confirming the deal may not be made until next Thursay.
Mandaric has become frustrated by the delay in finalising a deal.
Earlier this week he told BBC Sport: "We are close. There are a couple of issues that need to be resolved hopefully in the next few days."
Mandaric was expected to have made a formal bid for the club before Christmas after being given permission to look at the club's books in November.
But the period of due diligence brought up issues that have delayed matters.
"It's a frustrating time for me. It's taking so long, much longer than I thought," Mandaric added.
"The explanation from the lawyers is always the same: it's a public company, it takes time to satisfy the code and the panel.
"They are always issues related to commercial or financial deals and some unknown things I need to look over and make a decision on immediately.
At this time I'm not looking for a manager or anything else
Milan Mandaric
"If I looked at this as a business we would probably walk away but I'm keen to get back in football.
"Sometimes you have to close your eyes on some of the things because football doesn't always bring the clean-cut situation in a business sense.
"I'd like to get it done one way or the other as this is not what I anticipated.
"It's not at my end. It is something I need to overcome and I wasn't quite aware of. I'm not accusing or pointing the finger at anyone it was just something that was found during investigation.
"The price is not the problem whatsoever. It has been agreed."
Mandaric denied weekend reports he will appoint former Crystal Palace and Charlton manager Iain Dowie when he takes over - saying he has been impressed with current boss Rob Kelly.
He added: "At this time I'm not looking for a manager or anything else. I just want to resolve the ownership of the club and then look at existing structure.
"I'm not committed to Iain Dowie or anyone else at this point.
"Unfortunately I have not been allowed many dealings with the manager (Kelly) but I did have the opportunity to meet with him two or three times.
"He is a good solid young man who is a great coach and apparently gets on well with players and probably gets the best out of them.
"I don't know much about him or his capabilities but so far I'm impressed with him."

Remembering the final bid is still not in front of us, but from what we have seen to date.
Stadium wise - we believe the Teachers deal will just be maintained until we get into the Premiership. If we then stay there with the £m's from Sky money MM then may look at buying the ground (you could argue that the current board would have had the same option, but we have to get there first).
Shareholders - no payment up front, may not get all money back.
