Pompey Takeover Saga


Fitzhugh Fella

Recommended Posts

You've forgotten the hottest piece of real estate this side of the Palm Complex development in Dubai.

 

That millionaire's playground, the Fratton Park car park.

 

 

 

The best thing about this fred is it started with pointing laughing about the Dr's deal falling through and is ending with pointing and laughing about the Dr's deal going through!

 

The giggles just keep on coming.

 

You couldn't make it up!

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....

 

 

 

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 :D

 

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!

Err - we are all already are pointing and laughing at you because the deal is completed. It's absolutely hilarious and the sooner you appoint Diego Maradonna the better.

 

You are easily the divviest of the Pompey fans on here. I think we might be due another 900 word essay of "argument" from you as to why your team is, like, better than ours.

 

Yeah that's it keep laughing and pointing. Remember, it's the hope that kills you :D

We know that you're not very clever so let's make it simple for you.

 

We are laughing at you BECAUSE of who has taken you over. BECAUSE he's used your SKY money as leverage with the banks. BECAUSE you are no better off than you were.

 

You've got Pinnicle. :smt116

 

Bless the skates who thought they were getting a billionaire owner. :D

Nah, we were only playing them a few months ago...

 

But...wasn't it this time last year when you played your first cup game since winning at Wembley at home to the mighty Chelski and only got 15,000...including around 4000 Chelski fans...nah, must be a mistake, that would've meant you had less home fans than we got last night...

This really is LOL stuff. I thought our takeover was farcical but this takes the biscuit. Glad to see the Skates have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

 

Now the good Dr has 'put up' I would imagine the Jackanory Peter Storrie may have to 'shut up'. At least that's £2m off of their wage bill.

Are you serious?!:smt017

 

This is f**king hillarious!:smt043

 

You had billionaires all set to take over and you end up with this joker.:smt023

 

lol - and this is where you lot make me laugh

 

you have a billionaire yes ? well he is really financing you out of league 1 isn't he - I mean splashing the cash a la Notts County style. Your gonna walk your league

 

ok, enough already, but the point is neither you and I are privvy to the deal or how much money he has. What money he has coming in from elsewhere and who might make money available to him. He is very pally with Holger Heims. Whichever way you look at it, our club is saved for now and stability can return

 

It doesn't matter how much owners have or are worth - as you know they are only worth how much they put in

 

we may have lost a multi billionaire - but only lost one if he was prepared to go large and we will never know. We have just come out of a situ with someone going large then nearly killing us, perhaps the doc will build sensibly - I know which I prefer and its not a Man City style takeover.

The fact that your man has no figures himself at his disposal is all I need to back it up.

 

LMAO at Solent calling him the Middle East equivalent of Alan Sugar, remind me how did Spurs did with him at the helm.

 

Nothing has changed, by securitising and securing debts against future income if you do get relegated the baloon will pop even louder.

Oh right I get it. You publish your business plan including your transfer budget and targets for all and sundry to peruse :rolleyes:

 

Your last paragraph merely repeats the total guess as to where the finance is coming from. You know no more than the rest of us....

We have spent more money anyone else in League one, I don't really think our Billionaire seems reluctant to invest,unlike your idiot who brags about signing the worlds best but takes 2 and a half months to buy the club.from a chairman desperate to sell.

Starts with fifteen inept hopefuls, sends them out weekly for thankless tasks and whittles them down to a final two. Yep sounds like Pompey's transfer policy thus far this season.

Well, you know you've got under someones skin when they resort to abuse...

 

Hmmm... you're probably right there. It annoys me off when other posters say things like that so I owe you an apology for that one. Got a bit carried away, sorry.

This sums it up fairly well for me.:cool:

 

He's quite clearly all talk.

 

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.

He's one of the main protagonists that got you into a **** financial situation.

"Storie you are a grate man but if u leave the fotball club do soemthing to elp youn peaple from wurkin class backrands cos we need help. Wif yoer monay you orwt to do moar to elp us git jobes and bwring up ar kids, but fanks for winnin us the cup buy sinin good players when scammar fish face were in charge."

Yes, your new owner does exactly that. I knew you were a bit "special" but you are outdoing yourself tonight.

Small Extract:The man behind yesterday's sensational takeover of Manchester City has given manager Mark Hughes just three years to win the Champions League.

 

But billionaire Dr Sulaiman al-Fahim - frontman for a mega-rich Middle East business group - will hand over an astonishing £540million to bring the world's top stars to the under-achieving Premier League club to help achieve the quest.

 

Sulaiman said in an exclusive interview that he wants to buy 18 new players - at a cost of £30million each.

He added: "I need to meet the manager but the best players in the world average £30million. We need a minimum of 18 players at that level.

"Without that you can't win the Champions League."

 

 

 

 

 

Subsequently he then "published" his Man City business plan for "all and sundry to peruse" which, if memory serves, included his intention to purchase world class galacticos like Christiano Ronaldo, Sameul Et'o, Franck Ribery and Tommy Smith from Watford.

 

Good luck in next year's Champion's League final by the way.

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.

 

You will go into admin and the "Dr" "Goodwill ambassador" will disappear pretty sharpish after losing his £1 investment.

No. Tommy Cooper was born in Caerphilly, South Wales on 9th March 1922. A few weeks after his birth the family to moved to Exeter in Devon...

 

True but in 1933 the family moved to Langley (seven miles from Southampton). Later his mum owned the fish and chip shop near Foys Corner, Shirley - less than a mile from Benny Hill's house...

They have just updated it. Al falhim has only guranteed the debt...gayboy is off the hook...........however (And they have even changed their tag banner at the bottom) they were at pains to say....only al fahim is claiming this has happened, they have had no confirmation from the club or gayboy or storrie.

 

Basically he has got the club for free on the basis he guarantees the current debt.

 

I bet he had his fingers crossed behind his back when he made that promise. :cool:

He lived here for most of his young life and even had an apprenticeship at Harland and Wolfe. His mum had a shop in Shirley.

 

He insisted on a red fez because it was Saints. He was once asked to wear a blue one and refused saying he didn't 'want to look like that Pompey Scum'.

No it wasn't the fish and chip shop, it was a dress makers shop.

Can't believe So'ton at one stage had two 20th century comedy greats living within a mile of each other. Living in Archers Rd I regularly used to bump into Benny while he was walking to the Coop in Bedford Place durung the 70s.

It gets better according to the Mail...

 

"The news came as a major shock chief executive Peter Storrie, who believed his alternative buy-out plan was on the verge of completion. Storrie is understood to have travelled to London on Wednesday for talks with Gaydamak to finalise the deal only to find he had not turned up.

 

Storrie is believed to have then contacted Gaydamak to be told there was no need for a meeting as he had sold the club to Al Fahim. Gaydamak’s decision to sell to Al Fahim is all the more perplexing given Storrie’s backer for his ‘Plan B’, whose identity he was due to announce this week, is understood to be Saudi Arabian property magnate Ali Al Faraj, who has family connections to the Gulf’s biggest petrochemical company, Sabic."

 

You couldn't make it up....

'Tis true, I worked in Archers Rd from 1987. He would always say hello. I never saw him go anywhere other than Co-op though.

 

Off topic I know - sorry.

one more thing Corp..

 

In light of the apparent take over (which I trust you will clear up for us)

 

can we have an updated transfer target list from you

 

Thanks

Oh, and Corp - can you keep us updated on how Kalinic is doing for you? I haven't seen his name on any Pompey teamsheet this season so I presume he's injured at the moment, right?

 

Edit: You might know this too. I saw some guy with the same surname name played for Blackburn this week. Are the two related? Cheers.

That surely is a case of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. They get the dodgy potless doctor when Storrie had a genuinely wealthy benefactor lined up. !!!!

He was still a genius....

 

In a similar vein, Peter Sellers was born 300 yards from where I grew up in Southsea in a flat above what is now the Mayfair chinese restaurant....

We're both right!

 

His biography - "Tommy Cooper - Always Leave Them Laughing", page 41

 

It says that they moved into a shop 124 Shirley Road in 1948 ... currently 'Johnny's Fish and Chips'. They started selling fish but that business failed and his mother converted the shop into a haberdashery...
