Mandaric hits out at Foxes

Milan Mandaric has criticised the Leicester City board over the amount of time they have taken to approve his takeover of the club.
The former Portsmouth owner made an initial approach to buy the Foxes on November 1 and was hoping to have the takeover completed in time to add new players to the squad by the end of the January transfer window.
"It is becoming a bit ridiculous now. In fact, I have lost three transfer targets I had an eye on who might have made a difference," he told the Leicester Mercury.
"January is going by, and when I look at what needs to be done it is very frustrating.
"It has taken four months already. I could have bought London Bridge in that time."
Meanwhile, Leicester chairman Andrew Taylor expects the takeover to be completed in "the next few days".
