EastleighSoulBoy Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 You've forgotten the hottest piece of real estate this side of the Palm Complex development in Dubai.

As you're merely a third division club it was a big game for you.... Ok it took longer than the two weeks I suggested back in July, but THE DEAL IS DONE!!!!!!! Mods, you might as well lock this one down at long last because YOU ALL GOT IT WRONG Alternatively, why not rename the thread: 'OH HAPPY DAY- PFC TAKEOVER COMPLETED' to try to save face, eh? :smt043 And they keep coming back for more!

Some how he has actually managed to do a deal but IMO it really is especially short sighted if you don't think that a) Dr Al is mainly motivated by ego and has proved himself to have little substance b) Gaydamak is motived by how much money he could get for himself rather than the future of your club.

You know no more than the rest of us.... No, obviously not (unless you're "Doctor" Al Fahim) but you might announce the purchase price or what has happened to the debt. If it was merely a transfer of liabilities to a chancer hoping to scrape survival for a couple of years and sneak dubious funds in the back door, if they can be found, you probably wouldn't. Do you honestly think you have a pot to **** in? Do you feel comfortable being owned (if indeed you now are) by someone who lies about being a Doctor and a UN Goodwill Ambassador? You will sell Distin. You will get a worse replacement, if any. You will go down.
