Legoland dairy company Piecelat has confirmed the purchase of the Kilimanlego Football League's Aeros football club.
The team have had a less than impressive start to the new KFL season but Piecelat Chairfig Mr Gregory Lowly believes
the solution is simple; investment. "I will be looking to those with the authority in the KFL, such as my good pal
Jon Voi, to open-up the domestic transfer market there. I'm willing to fund a significant investment in playing
staff and have already sidelined £3m for this purpose."
Legoland's dairy giant, Piecelat, has thrown itself into the international football waters by acquiring newly established Kilimanlego Football League club Aeros. With the acquisition, Piecelat continues its relationship with KFL headfig Jon Voi.
Last summer Piecelat bought a 25% share in SuperLeague club Parma from Jon Voi for a reported £16m. The purchase of the Aeros was considerably less and is reported as being £5m.
Aeros are in the inaugural KFL season along with AC Warbirds and Pure Blacks. Tyler Stevens had a short stint as sole owner of the club but he will still have a major role in the front office of the club even after the sale.
When asked about the acquisition, Stevens said, "When the offer was first put on the table, I had all my studs lined up against it. But in the end, it was made obvious to me that I needed to concede and let the transaction go through."
Reporters were also able to catch up to Jon Voi, "This deal was something that needed to be done. Piecelat has become an important partner in building the brick foundation for a successful KFL future. Piecelat is a very successful company and they got to where they are with good management and dedication to what they do. Bringing their successful attitude to Kilimanlego will only result in growing the local economy as well as the competition of the KFL."
Not every fig is in favor of the news, however. Hellkickers owner Kirk Sky has made his view on the subject known as he has been quoted saying, "Voi is running this league into the ground. He's letting his ego and biased views get in the way of letting this game be beautiful. He is the only one profiting from this and its obvious that he pressured Stevens into selling the club. He most likely threw around big business terms to Stevens to make the deal sound smart and stuff. Stevens never stood a chance."
Aeros have found themselves at the bottom of the league table along with the Pure Blacks after gaining only one point after the first three matches of the season. They gained their lone point by drawing 2-2 with defending league champions FC Elites in their second match of the season.
