Leicester City Owner. Is It Over The Top?
60 Answers
Let me say I'm not trying to trivialize anything about this but I think the coverage has been too excessive. It's really sad what happened and we can only wait to see what repercussions this has for Leicester City. But at times this week the coverage has felt almost "Diana like". Are we going to be subject to coverage of a "state funeral" too? I remember the Munich disaster. I was 10 years old. It was headlines for 2 days, then lots of coverage in the local press for quite some time. It had a huge impact in this area. I should imagine something similar now in Leicester. I also noticed that people started laying wreaths and flowers at Leicester City before any announcement of the owners death. Bizarre.
It seems to me that with situations like this, some people can't wait to start enjoying their mourning, encouraged by sentimental mush from the media.

Though God help us on here and generally when her Nibs goes......it will make the wailing wall of Jerusalem look positively tame.

I know he wasn't the chairman / owner of the club that I support but boy that club Leicester City have had success under that man. He was a very generous man and I can understand the people of Leicester as well as the fans of Leicester City Football Club mourning him as they are.
So no I don't think it is over the top.

Having waited for peoples' responses, and having read all of them, I'm not changing my opinion. Some have responded as though they knew this man personally, or were involved in his affairs, when in fact all that's happened is that most peoples' responses on here are based purely on what they know from press/media articles, so it must all be true, eh?
Obviously there are a number of "Snowflakes" on here who think they have the right to be offended by anything. I'm not ashamed of having an opinion that might differ from others and I have no regrets about posting this thread.

I wondered at the outpouring of grief - he seems to have been a good man. beeb careful to point out that he might not be seen to the That Great in Thailand.

They bought man united with junk bonds - high interest bonds secured on erm Manchester united assets they had acquired. and have as far as we can see - used it as a cash cow

it happens at every funeral doesnt it?
someone says loudly - "wot she wailing like dat for? she hardly knew him. She oudda da will or what?"
( I have been to two funerals ( suicides ) where someone has stood up and said "it was my unhappy duty to tell him as a result of his actions he would never work again" and we ALL thought Christ what is he doing in the pulpit for chrissakes .... ( both lay)) we all sat there stunned.) so things happen to strangers that shock you.
