If get bought by Leicester, I only hope the FFA make Leicester sit 10million aside in a trust so that if they bail/go bankrupt, the club has operating monies. Leicester could keep the trust if they sell to another owner who then pays the same trust etc.

Is that what the Tinkler/knights/members group shirt fight was about?
The knights had to have a bank guarantee, so not quite like a trust with cash sitting in it, but the purpose was the same as you're getting at.

I personally like the sound of a german club if it was one that was not wholly privately held, as they might be open to allowing the fans taking a share of the club Blackmac style.

You do realise that clause was included in the new 1 year extended contract the club got taggart to sign in November 2013, he originally signed a 2 year deal in march 2012, meaning if they had not signed the bloke to the extension he would have been out the door on a free transfer. Taggz was always going to be looking to move at the first chance he got, by getting an extension with that ceiling guaranteed that we'd make money and retain a good player, hardly the worst deal going around.
