I think that it would be funny if it was the serious fraud squad shelled out the 5K to get a look at the books under cover of a 'takeover' so that those who would eventually be hit by charges never knew what was coming.

 

That would be BRILLIANT. I really hope thats what will happen :D

excellent. so the one party that is interested isn't even willing to stump up £3m to enter into a exclusivity period.

 

brilliant.

 

i would guess that the proof of funds is his santander current account bank statement.

To be fair, you'd have to be a complete idiot to pay a £3m non-refundable deposit just to get a look at the books - imagine the sort of **** they're likely to find!!

Solent have just made me laugh on the way home.

 

"After the reds have returned from Wembley Solent returns this weekend to see a sea of blue"

 

Exactly how many pikeys are going? 50k? 40k? 30k?

 

Are Spuds going to be in blue too? (That's the only way it ill be a sea of blue).

I assume they have sold all their tickets. More plastic will be there than in Jordans bra

Exactly, but AA is very quiet and I expect the fan is starting to get ready for s### to hit it after the semi final

Just came across this on their site from last week....

 

'As of Thursday, April 1 2010, the ticket office in Rodney Road will no longer be able to accept cheques as a method of payment.

 

From this date, credit/debit cards and cash (in person purchasers only) will be the only valid forms of payment when purchasing seats through the ticket office.'

 

 

Ehhh???? No wonder they've hit the bottom of the sea if they've been accepting cheques for payment for tickets. Thought they weren't allowed to use their bank account anyway???

 

Did Fuglers get the funds before then?

 

Anyway, side issue I guess, but I wanted to find out how many they've sold. No mention.....as yet.

 

Guess they're hawking them round Collingwood as we speak.

Does this remind you of anybody...???

 

http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid29318049001?bctid=76091546001

 

....anybody at all...??

 

Rob Lloyd the proposed new owner of Portsmouth City Football Club has made his first television interview since his bid for the club was accepted by the administrator.

 

Speaking to Sky Sports News, Mr. Lloyd was asked what his background is and who was behind his consortium.

 

He told the programme...

 

'I was trained by Xerox, many many many years ago. I'm a business strategist, many people say I'm a photocopying salesman, which I always find quite amusing.'

 

'I actually have been in the past,been heavily involved in the fitting out of Southampton football club stadium. Obviously I have an IT background, sales background, but also I have had involvement at Southampton Academy and scouting for many, many years.'

 

'To give you an instance I was involved in the scouting of Adam Lallana from Bournemouth sadly, to Southampton.'

 

'I have many, many contacts in football, I have many contacts abroad as well, in American MLS football as well as in Dubai.'

 

'So it's a mixture of many many things, all put together with a vision for a football club and we are going to drop the blueprint into here, but all will be revealed.'

 

When asked if it was his money he was investing in Portsmouth City Football Club, Lloyd smiled and said...

 

'It is a consortium'

 

When pushed on who is in the consortium, he added...

 

'That is, something that really and honestly will never be answered properly and completely, but the truth of the matter is, there will be answers to that to an extent in tomorrow's (Wednesday) press conference.'

FA Cup ticket sales

 

Had the Quay on this evening.

 

They were talking about their fa cup ticket sales.

 

The presenter said he was embaressed as they were going to go on general sale.

 

They offered 2 per season ticket holder (12,000 so they said)

 

also offered to members (2,000)

 

also offered to anyone who has been to 3 home games this season

 

and still going on general sale

 

no, but said he would expect all season ticket holders to take up their two, plus members - giving 26,000, and there should be at least a couple of thousand who have been to three games, taking it to 28,000 who should be demanding their ticket.

 

PLEASE COME.....

Lol but to be fair, most people are expecting them to lose.

I recall a couple of Skates saying ,it will be a great day at Wembley. I pointed out losing in a semi final is not at all nice, completely different to a final day.I still have bitterness from over 25 years ago after the defeat at Highbury

Apparently, on SSN, no exclusivity, going down the non disclosure route.

 

Presumably that one person has shown proof of funds. Does anyone have any idea who it might be? Santa Claus?

 

Lol so they have had ONE group show proof of funds. We had something like 6 if you inculde the mythical Irish, the Whacko's, the Syrian Viagra substitute, the Jersey Boysh, the Pinnacle of debacle & the Winner Markus.

 

It could have been 7 if Whacko really did find a second grouping, and they found

 

 

One.

 

Excellent work all round chaps

"It's a very serious bid," he told Sky Sports News.

 

Alarm bells always start ringing when the person involved says stuff like this. Wacko Jacko all over again.

 

The interview should have been translated to...

 

'Errrr well the investor at present won't commit until we have seen the books, especially as the Administrator seems to have forgotten about forensic accounting. You don't become a Secret Millionaire by buying a debt, flea infested football club for millions. Oh.'

It's actually quite scary, I think he has convinced himself.

 

For the record he has extensive experience is dealling with football administrators > It's just he has never bought or sold a single one :confused:

 

But worry not, he is currently selling 3 prem teams, 4 Championship sides and 12 more in Div 1 or below

Lol @ the parts of that website being restricted to members only, but there is no way to join as a member :rolleyes:

 

I wonder if the other guys on the website know they're listed as directors?

 

Anyone got a nice hotmail address set up to email Marc and see if he has any monkey chicken petting zoos for sale in his portfolio?

Its quite remarkable that of the 14 billion serious enquiries (or there abouts) we are down to the one most comical one. Who could have predicted that? (Question for non-saints fans only I think!).

Is it me being dense? This article says that AA wants to get the CVA 'away' first before he bothers about takeovers.

 

But surely, if he doesn't know how much Mr Moneybags Lloyd is bringing to the table, he doesn't know how much moolah he's got to divvy up between the creditors?

 

Yes?

My take is he's trying to get a CVA approved 'in principle' first from all the creditors, then he'll know how much money he needs to go looking for...

 

I'm no expert on these things, but I'm not sure that's the best way to do things, but then this is Pompey we're talking about....

What you say seems pretty reasonable to me, but what do I know?

 

This is the first I've seen of a report that the solitary prospective buyer of the club has now changed. This really is descending ever deeper into the realms of pure farce. If I were a Skate fan (God forbid), I would be feeling even more apprehensive about the chances of the club surviving total liquidation.

Thanks for the warning....!!!

 

That has got to be one of the worst attempts at a (so called) business web site that I have ever seen in my life. A free front end template filled with abysmal spelling, grammar and content, while perporting to represent major players in the football league.

 

The man is a grade a moron. Did anybody read the 'marine' page - basically, 'if you want a boat, we can buy it for you', honestly, wtf...!!!

 

I honestly believe the guy needs help - or are there really (major) companies out there who would visit his site and believe that he could help them. Please, please tell me there is nobody running a company who would even think about it - his site looks like it was thrown togeather by a kid at school during the 30 minute IT lesson.

 

Sh it - I can't believe the cr ap on there...

So these are the recent developments -

 

Mystery billionaire approaches Lloyd to front his bid and protect his identity - plausible.

Lloyd takes this on with promise of money or a role in the new era - yeah, I get that.Backer sobers up and decides it's a crazy idea - very plausible.

Lloyd continues without the funding for no apparent reason, then stumbles across a second billionaire - for me, this is where it starts to fall down...

 

For a bloke whose own company is in big trouble he has quite a knack of plucking dim billionaires out of nowhere.

 

We have either a man who wants a free day out at Wembley and a bit of an ego boost, or a shrewd player who knows billionaires aplenty and has the skills to negotiate them through the worst set of accounts they will ever see.
