Pompey Takeover Saga

Maradonna probably doesn't know who PFC is FFS, he probably thinks the good Dr is still involved at Man City.

 

Lol at getting players in at that quality, with a manager of paul hart, a craph*le of stadium and city and the fact that you are losing players left right and centre.

 

Made me laugh though cheers.

Indeed, and how are you getting on down in the third division?

I wonder what the Argentinian football authorities think of Maradona talking or even thinking of leaving them in the lurch?

Iam surprised there has been no denial made by him as this was out yesterday

 

If (as Co-Ho says) he is good friends with Dr Al he might be staying quiet to "help out a mate" who is trying to generate publicity.

 

As for having investors to come in in time for teh January transfer window... Why on earth would this be genuine.

 

If you have the financial muscle to take on a premier league team, why wait until January when they have had to play half a season with just 14 senior players and may well (almosat definately) be deep in the relegation zone as a result.

 

There have been lots of comments from various (fishy) posters either claiming or repeating rumours that X and Y are lined up but they are waiting a month/for due dilligence/until January.

 

If these investors are genuinely lined up what possible reason could there be fore waiting until January when the situation may well be beyond repair?

 

IMO the investors either

 

a) don't exist at all

b) exist but would fail the FAPP test and so are prevented from inveting

or

c) are people who Dr Al saw on tv once and he thinks might have a bit of spare cash he could borrow. If he can work out how to get their phone numbers then fingers crossed he might be able to get them to give him some cash by Jaunuary.

Well, new billionaire owner, premiership ground and training facilities, good youth academy, great pedigree of manager, future is safe, massive fan base, 22k turned up for a friendly and no fat drug addicks looking to take more money out of an already financially f*cked club.

 

So ok, hope you enjoyed your brief stint in the prem mind, glass houses and all that.

You seem to do a good job of half reading a lot of things I write, which is odd as you seem to be a fairly intelligent bloke. What I wrote is that the new investors he's now targetting are apparently looking to buy him out and take charge of the club completely. That's obviously not going to happen overnight. If you re- read my post again, you'll also see that I said that could happen by January, not that they'd wait for the transfer window.

 

Nothing settled yet and things often change but it seems people are interested. Look at it this way - PFC's debts are now largely gone, the massive wage earners like Campbell and Crouch will be off the wage bill so we'd be a much more attractive proposition. Before any doofus says that we've only got 14 players there will obviously be more additions to the squad before the window closes. I've no doubt we're waiting for August so we don't have to pay new players wages for July (as most teams seem to be doing - you're hardly splashing the cash yourselves yet are you?). A few additions should be enough to see us maintain Prem status in a lower mid table level.

 

Well, new billionaire owner, premiership ground and training facilities, good youth academy, great pedigree of manager, future is safe, massive fan base, 22k turned up for a friendly and no fat drug addicks looking to take more money out of an already financially f*cked club.

 

So ok, hope you enjoyed your brief stint in the prem mind, glass houses and all that.

 

Your new billionaire owner who's already said he won't be throwing cash around for players? Don't forget,we've achieved more in our "brief" seven years (and counting) in the Prem than you ever managed.

 

One question about your youth academy. If it's so good, how come the players it's producing weren't even good enough to keep you in the championship? The ones I saw (and I'm not trolling here) looked lower league standard at best. Presumably they were the cream of the crop too?

 

As for financially ****ed - one word for you: SKY

How exactly ?? You got to the FA Cup final and fluked it against lower league opposition (as you did most of the cup run) and also played in europe ?? As did we ??

 

Wow, you also overspent and got yourself in the **** you are in now and were investigated for fraudulent activity ??

 

That and the fact that gaychops has taken every piece of investment out of the company, (sky, transfer fees etc) to help clear said debts and now you have a bloke as chairman who does not even own the club, or has not got enough cash to properly finance it ??

 

As for our new owner, no but i wouldn't want him to splash the cash, nice considered spending will do, we have the infrastructure of a PL club. As for youth, are you forgetting the likes of Theo, Bale etc ?? Remind me of your youth recruits again ??

Ok, line by line:

 

"new billionaire owner" who appears to be spending er, not much. No point having a billionaire if he's only bought you as an 'investment'.

 

"premiership ground and training facilities". You can't call it a premiership ground- you're not IN the premiership. In fact your so called Premiership ground is the very reason you're no longer in the premiership. It's a white elephant.

 

"good youth academy" Yep, give you that one. All that class that was unleashed onto the Championship last season really showed just how good your 'famed' academy really is.

 

"great pedigree of manager" Ok, starting to get more desperate now. A great pedigree of manager who has been bombed out of the last three clubs he was managing.

 

"future is safe" How do you know that? The Cranemeister could have his families finest rolling down towards St Mary's now to knock it down! No-one knows if there club is "safe", whoever they support.

 

"massive fan base, 22k turned up for a friendly" What massive fanbase? Of that 22k, 8k were freebies: "Many of the tickets "sold" were given out as freebies either with ST's or to schools." That brings it down to 14k. 14k at what, £10-15 a ticket, for a game against Ajax. Not quite Man U numbers are they?

 

"no fat drug addicks looking to take more money out of an already financially f*cked club." Yeah, like you've been through our books and know it all....

 

"So ok, hope you enjoyed your brief stint in the prem mind, glass houses and all that." Don't worry, we'll be in the top flight for a long, long time yet...

Ho has had more info than MI5

 

It was not anti Muslim.. It was aimed at the subserviant Ho

 

read Ho's posts and you'll see it in motion.

 

was it Ho?

 

you're all wishing for too much.Accept their takeover will happen, Ho and co will come back and rub your noses in it when it does. If it does fall through we can show our sympathy.

 

thats why Ho hasnt been on, he keeps having to press redial to Pompey ticket office. Lol

 

Ho of course enjoyed the cup final

 

I miss Ho's Pompey transfer gossip threads

 

Does anyone else find Nick Nack's obsession with me a little concerning? He mentions me in almost everything he posts.

 

Nick Nack, can I just ask - do you masturbate yourself to sleep at nights thinking about my posts? :confused:

 

I thought the lovely Sascha had earmarked the Sky money for himself, to clear his debts?

 

Part of the SKY money has been earmarked for Gaydamak. How much is the question but not all of it. Rumours are around £10m out of £40 - £50m. Plenty left over once the likes of Crouch and Campbell are off the wage bill.

 

How exactly ?? You got to the FA Cup final and fluked it against lower league opposition (as you did most of the cup run) and also played in europe ?? As did we ??

 

Wow, you also overspent and got yourself in the **** you are in now and were investigated for fraudulent activity ??

1. Mostly lower league opposition in the cup run agreed. You seem to coveniently gloss over us beating Man U at Old Trafford though. Does that not count?

 

2. We overspent. What did you do when Wilde was in charge and trying to buy your way back to the Prem? I seem to remember plenty on here boasting you'd spent more than any other team in the Chumpionship. And we played in Europe because we qualified as winners, not because we lost to a team already qualified.

 

3. Gaydamak isn't taking all the SKY money. See above.

 

4. When you mentioned your youth academy I thought you were looking to the future. I was under the impression Bale and Walcott had already left you.

Can't really argue with that. My post was indended as more of general rant at some of the things posted by p*mpey fans on the multitute of threads.

 

The rant still stands as many of you are claiming that there is significant investment hovering in the background, (which I doubt), your post just happened to be the last one I read before I started.

 

 

.... the massive wage earners like Campbell and Crouch will be off the wage bill so we'd be a much more attractive proposition.

 

The massive wage erners capable of keeping you up you mean?

 

 

.... Before any doofus says that we've only got 14 players there will obviously be more additions to the squad before the window closes.

 

True but any players in are not going to be anywhere near the quality that have been disposed of are they.

 

.... I've no doubt we're waiting for August so we don't have to pay new players wages for July (as most teams seem to be doing - you're hardly splashing the cash yourselves yet are you?). A few additions should be enough to see us maintain Prem status in a lower mid table level.

 

As above you are getting rid of as many high earners as possible. If a single month's wages for a much lower earner is going to make a material difference to your finances then you really are close to the endge!

 

Especially if it is a big enough difference as to out weigh the impact of a lack of squad cohesion which will result from the first team players having to be introduced to each other on the morning of the first game.

 

.... Your new billionaire owner who's already said he won't be throwing cash around for players?

 

True but it does appear that this is begining to be addressed with the

acknowledgement (finally) that the squad needs serious re-building. In league one this doesn't require "throwing cash around" to nearly the same extent as it does in the Prem or CCC.

 

.... One question about your youth academy. If it's so good, how come the players it's producing weren't even good enough to keep you in the championship? The ones I saw (and I'm not trolling here) looked lower league standard at best. Presumably they were the cream of the crop too?

 

Agree with you there. It has definately gone downhill.

 

.... As for financially ****ed - one word for you: SKY

 

I presume that you are talking about P*mpey and agreeing with us here given that Gaydamak (sp) is taking your sky money for himself.

Billionaire owner who has paid off the debt completely of the club. The white elephant you talk about is now one of the few new stadiums in the country - completely paid for.

He has also offered contract to Stern John who albeit no Ronaldo, we couldn't afford him last year and guess no other league 1 side could.

 

Guess our season tickets for league 1 aren't that far behind yours for prem?

 

You are, and have been the better team of recent - I totally concede that.

 

But we are much more secure than you are, and I would be astounded if you were the better side in 5 years time.

Err - this is a Southampton Football Club forum. We are allowed to have a laugh about the European Mega Club on our doorstep with the biggest and most passionate fanbase in the world.

 

When you're a tiny lower league nothing club living in the shadow of a global giant you're allowed to poke a bit of fun. It helps us forget how tiny and insignificant we are.

 

 

You've registered and post constantly on a Southampton Football Club forum. You're obsessed with us, you nutjob.

Been away for a few weeks. Does anyone fancy giving me a quick update on whats happening to Portsmouth? I don't care enough to be bothered to read this whole thread, but would be nice to know.

Just a couple of sentances please.

Where are your Pompey Transfer gossip threads these days? Lol

All the posts mentioned were pertinent at the time of course.

 

Nick Nack, the posts may have been pertinent but why include my name in everything you post. It does make you look like a freak.

 

And no transfer gossip threads as I can't start threads. Easy enough for even you to grasp I'd imagine. However, if you're interested, the players we've been linked with over the last couple of days are:

 

Nikola Kalinic, Croatian striker from Hajduk Split - £6 - 8M

 

Victo Obinna, Nigerian striker from Inter - £5.5m

 

Bafetimbi Gomis, French striker from St Etienne - no fee mentioned

 

Christien Poulsen, Swedish midfielder from Juve - £4m

 

apparently, the good Dr IS a billionaire and the 14th most powerful arab in the world..

 

ffs, im even embarrassed for them

 

Actually, I think whoever posted what you're referring to may have meant this (link below). Which was a list Arabian Business News compiled of the most influential (not powerful) arabs in the world. Al Fahim actually ranked 4th, not 14th, but influence has f*** all to do with money. It's based on peoples cultural impact.

Just out of interest if you're as minted as you like to make out you are and you're after all of these superstar players why have you got a player on trial who was released by Crewe!!

 

Face it there is no money, no superstars joining, all the rats are jumping ship and after all the BS of a takeover you got... a new chairman! WOW let the good times roll!!!
