Clapham Saint Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 Interesting assessment. I cant see the bank writing off 30m when the club have many assets that could be sold first.There again who knows what banks will do ever|? They wouldn't write it off unless they had too. It is possible (however unlikely) that Dr Al Said something alsong the lines of (numbers made up and not based on anything at all) "If I don't buy the club it will go into administration and you will only get 10% payment. I won't buy the club unless you agree to write off 80% and I'll pay you 20% over 10 years" However again I think it unlikely. If the deal has actually gone thorugh I would guess that Standard Chartered/Barclays have taken further security (i.e. future sky money and personal guarantees) and have agreed to extend the capital repayment period. This still leaves them with a mortgaged future and a great deal work to do to survive. New stadiums etc would still be a pipe dream. On the other hand maybe Dr Al has been 100% honest in everything he has said so far, really is a gazillionaire and will pump vast funds into the club...

CB Fry Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 (edited) The way I see it this now opens the floodgates for Pompey to buy Riquelme and Ribery and stroll back to take their rightful place as League Champions in 2011. After all, they won it in 1943 or something which makes them pretty much part of the big four already.

Danny Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 I see. I've misunderstood the SSN report then. Nope, SSN have just backtracked. That's all. The moral of the story: SSN don't check facts until after they put a story out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see why they are such a big for the likes of Moekena, Ashikodi and Bopp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weston Saint Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 Email from Peter Storrie quoted on another site Dear ******, Thank you for your email. As of this moment Portsmouth Football Club is still owned by Mr. Gaydamak . I am aware of stories that have surfaced about Mr Al fahim being the sole owner . They are total rubbish . I understand and sympathise with your and other fans concerns about where the club is heading . Thank for you patience and loyalty . Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PES Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 we're only linked by Darwins theory of evolution.Our part of hampshire luckily went down the route of standing up straight and having toes not webbed feet. Our idea of a picnic is going and eating a nice lunch and the spread not being our daughter.Somewhere, you PES got abducted and sent down the slippery slope of Skatedoom. Thanks Nick.

pfc123 Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 You'd think with the number of illegitimate feral youths prowling the streets round that way they'd be able to fill the stadium. 6,000 for a Portsmouth home game?!?!?? Never! Portsmuff are the biggest club in the south coast, I know because Corp Ho told me. Portsmuff are the richest club on the south coast, I know this because Corp Ho told me. So come on then you fish fiddlers, what excuses are you going to come up with for such a poor attendance? Pretty obvious isn't it- Fourth division Hereford ffs, wheras you were playing a Premiership team. As you're merely a third division club it was a big game for you.... Right. To all those clinging to the hope that we'll be dead and buried by early August, here's a summary of events so far: Letter of intent (contract agreeing to buy the club at an already agreed price if nothing nasty is found in due diligence) signed in Paris six weeks ago. Due diligence completed to the satisfacton of the buyer yesterday. Premier League Fit and proper person test the last hurdle. He is NOT going to fail the test. Deal done within the next two weeks. Then we'll find out if he's: a) A total chancer without a bean to his name who's trying to impress his mates. or b) A reasonably wealthy enthusiast i.e. multi millionaire, who's looking to make a few bob on the property side as well as fund a decent level PL oufit. or c) A nonothingaboutfootballnumpty with billions to burn who will try to outbid citeh at every turn. Personally, I suspect b), but the other two scenario's wouldn't surprise me either........ Ok it took longer than the two weeks I suggested back in July, but THE DEAL IS DONE!!!!!!!

It's absolutely hilarious and the sooner you appoint Diego Maradonna the better. You are easily the divviest of the Pompey fans on here.
