He can't 'own' them as such; surley the PEA do?

Many RL teams aren't owned by an individual but by the local govt.

I thought Newin bought them and moved them. Surely he wouldn't have anything to do with them if he doesn't own at least 1% of them?

I guess he owns a part but he can't own them completely. You wouldn't keep the 'PEA' part of the name out of choice, would you? He would just call them 'Buriram United' or some such if he owned them 100%.

Leicester City have a new Fox in the directors' box as Thai businessman Aiyawatt Raksriaksorn leads consortium buyout
Quote
Leicester have been bought by a consortium led by Thai businessman Aiyawatt Raksriaksorn.

Financial details of the deal have not been disclosed but current chairman Milan Mandaric will retain his position at the npower Championship club and is a stakeholder in the Asia Football Investments consortium.

Raksriaksorn owns Thailand-based duty-free shopping business King Power Group, which last week secured a three-year shirt sponsorship deal with Leicester.

The last Thai venture into English football ended in acrimony when former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, ousted in a 2006 coup and still living in exile, bought Manchester City and sold the club a year later.

Mandaric believes the deal will empower Leicester and help the club achieve their ambition of returning to the Barclays Premier League.

'The deal brings new strength and energy to Leicester and offers a tremendous opportunity for supporters and the club,' Mandaric said via a statement.

'We are celebrating today as the deal represents three things. First, ambition. This will help us push forward to compete harder for a place at the top table of English football.

'Second, strength. It will strengthen the squad and youth academy by bringing additional financial support and introducing a new global network of contacts and access to player talent.

'It also represents a third key factor - partnership. I am delighted to remain as chairman and a stakeholder in the new consortia. I am pleased Lee Hoos, the chief executive, and his winning team remain focused and in place to keep our plans and ethos alive.'

Aiyawatt added: 'We are delighted that Asia Football Investments has secured this exciting deal. I am passionate about football and I see in Leicester City as a club with tremendous passion and potential.

'It has excellent management on and off the pitch and I am convinced that it has the right mix of ambition and realism to drive the team, and club, forward.

'I do look forward to getting behind the new manager and his team and to enjoying real progress, which I know the fans crave and deserve.'

Newin does own Buriram PEA
Most of the teams are owned and got sponsors have their names on clubs.

Eg. Sisaket Muang Thai, it's not owned by Muang Thai but the name Muang Thai (insurance company) is there because Muang Thai sponsored Sisaket FC.

another example is SCG Samut Songkhram, the real name of the team is Samut Songkhram FC but SCG (Siam Cement Group) sponsored  the club. SCG doesn't own the club but they sponsored the club for 5 years (I think) for 100+m baht.

TOT-CAT FC is owned by Ministry of Information and Communication Technology of Thailand. Piroj Suwannachavee is a Thai politician, former MP for many parties including an MP for Thaksin's Thai Rak Thai party for the Nakhon Ratchasima 8th District and 10th District and also a Party List MP.

Recently him and his family joined Newin Chidchob's Bhumjai Thai Party and is one of the TOT Directors I guess because he was the former ICT Minister under Thaksin's cabinet so he has got a lot of experienced in this kind of thing.

By 'Owe' you meant shares or explanation? :-)  Interesting subject indeed. It is FIFA/AFC goal to have football community of association members to have or develop a close relationship with local government so that they can unofficially suck out government supports one way or another to benefit football  business. The use of government land facilities at minimal or no cost as some business witty clubs have done that alreay for years. Ownership should be made public but then again we would've losed one of our topic of discussion and that is a lose we could't afford. :-)
