No, fair enough, I shouldn't think he would

But I don't spose he's joined this game simply to pour cash into a hole marked "Piswich". He wants to get you up so that he can get his hands on the Sky money. Which he will do by saying that the club must now repay some of the old NU debt which he's picked up in a fire sale.

And if you don't get promoted (say) two years in a row, he might start thinking about how else he's going to recoup some cash. Like selling any decent players you've unearthed, for example.

        except the bank wouldn't also owe him £32m (Other Football) - blindasabat, Dec 3, 17:52:23
        
        Well if we got promoted.. (Other Football) - BlueFury, Dec 3, 17:58:33

        Each to his own.... (Other Football) - BlueFury, Dec 3, 18:07:28
        
        So he must be looking for a bit more ... (Other Football) - Old Git, Dec 3, 17:50:50
        
        I think they can work together though... (Other Football) - BlueFury, Dec 3, 17:53:45
        
        it's early days for Mandaric at Leicester, but the Leicester fan at work is not a happy (Other Football) - blindasabat, Dec 3, 17:55:55
        
        Oh come on, it's black and white basab, the guy has just ploughed loads of free money in (Other Football) - pants, Dec 3, 17:44:02
      - It's a £20 million pound loan idiot! (n/m) (Other Football) - DUFFYIN, Dec 3, 17:14:29
    - Be well funny if he did though, eh? (n/m) (Other Football) - CB41, Dec 3, 17:10:32
      - Funny, but very unlikely! (n/m) (Other Football) - DUFFYIN, Dec 3, 17:13:08
      - Would be a bit of a shock! (Other Football) - BlueFury, Dec 3, 17:12:55
        
        And wages to match (n/m) (Other Football) - Old Git, Dec 3, 17:23:26
        
        That's true.. (Other Football) - BlueFury, Dec 3, 17:25:46
        
        Surely that £12M will have to cover current running losses (Other Football) - CB41, Dec 3, 17:16:03
        
        Hopefully we're not going for that sort of player.. (Other Football) - BlueFury, Dec 3, 17:21:39
        
        £12m is stated as to be spent on playing staff AND (Other Football) - Jim, Dec 3, 17:14:48
        
        i can't think of a club that couldn't do with £12m.. (Other Football) - BlueFury, Dec 3, 17:24:00
        
        It's good to get £12m (Other Football) - Old Git, Dec 3, 17:26:28
        
        I agree completely.... (Other Football) - BlueFury, Dec 3, 17:32:06
        
        You could have 4 Carl Robinsons for 200k (n/m) (Other Football) - Brom, Dec 3, 17:34:03
        
        Now THAT would be a good midfield! (Other Football) - BlueFury, Dec 3, 17:36:34
        
        You'd need 8 Carl Robinsons to have any sort of midfield at all (n/m) (Other Football) - Old Git, Dec 3, 17:38:42
        
        I'm no ITFC expert, but doesn't "exactly the same situation" = "shit creek, no paddle" ? (n/m) (Other Football) - Arizona Bay, Dec 3, 17:14:41
        
        Not if we've proved we can attact investment! (n/m) (Other Football) - BlueFury, Dec 3, 17:22:13
