I see Fifa are in the country looking at the World Cup bid today, do we know what time Blatter's people will be checking out the Harbourdome complex and adjoining water borne fleet of executive hotels?

Putting rivalry aside it will be fantastic to have the world cup final played in Hampshire - I hope they complete the snagging list before the delegates get there.

It must be close to completion as I saw the old ground at Fratton on the tv and they've run that one down to dereliction and closed a lot of areas to fans, every other seat, and even the car park, so I guess the big move must be any day now.

'As it stands, Mr Lever needs to show some money.

 

'We have met and, after much debate and debacle, they provided me with a letter showing a bridging loan facility from a sub lender.

 

'However, there were also 401 conditions attached to it.

 

'Last week I asked for money to be put into their lawyer's bank account -and we are still waiting for that to happen.

 

'Once the funds are sitting on the table then we can move on. I have been there too many times.

 

Micky Fialka's cousin?

I wouldn't laugh too much yet. To table the bid and get them to a meeting would have cost him quite a bit of money. Whether he is interested in turning the football club around is something different, building on the site of the ground.....

401 conditions, and AA saying about a debacle is interesting.Not a way of endearing himself to a buyer

Of course he's not endearing himself to a buyer, Chainrai is his buyer and he's going to do whatever it takes to ensure nobody else comes on the scene, even though anyone would have to be utterly mental to do so.

that's the most feeble potential owner thus far - even worse than the one that didn't exist, and if AA calls it a debacle it must be bad.

I suspect he's used ALL of his money to get this far and the sensible owner uses a small amount to buy and keeps the bulk to run the business, not the other way round.

 

So he's going to buy the club for half the price Chanrai wants meaning he writes off half his investment, something he could have done anytime before, yeah right! - then he's going to buy the arms dealer out, and he'll want at least £20M to make up for the cva shafting.

 

So student boy has to find himself a loan for about £40M and sign a paper to take on all the other debt as well, presumably his bankrupt father taught him business skills.

 

Definitely the worst chancer so far, right down there with the bloke in Barnet who lived with mum and dad.

 

Makes you wonder - why do people do this? What do they get from seeing their face in the paper with a caption that says 'nutter or dreamer?'

 

Madness, and not in a Night Boat to Cairo sort of way.

Perhaps his father is looking into how to do it 'the Pompey way'

So it seems that this David Lever was bankrupted by a spread betting company [deleted by admin]

 

Could it be that he is using his son for more shady dealing?

 

After all as a bankrupt, he would be debarred from such actions.

 

How do the skates manage to attract these characters time after time?

 

You couldn't make it up :lol:

a dodgy father in the background with bankruptcy and irregularities hanging over him, funding a son who doesn't have two pennies to rub together but who has ambitious plans for redevelopment.... could we meet their long lost arab cousin who knows Maradona and we have the full set!

 

This is just the new lease of life this thread needed, though the plot does seem very familiar.

 

And any of the few who think this is a good news story must have the memory of a goldfish.

6 posts in a row - is that a record!

I confess, shameless padding. I had to go to bed and nobody else was posting.

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Mary%27s_Stadium

 

St Mary's Stadium is the home of Southampton F.C., in the city of Southampton. It is a UEFA

4-star rated stadium and with a capacity of 32,689 is the largest football stadium in the south of England, outside of London.

 

The number of posts in this thread is now large enough to fill the best stadium in the south of England, outside of London. :D

This thread is so much more than just the Skate Misery story. It really is becoming a mirror on society. The whole "everything must happen now, instant news, bingeing, instant decisions, forget about tomorrow, weather up next" civilisation that Blighty has become.

 

All those calling for the thread to be closed when the CVA was announced, the court case was lost...

 

It will run and run and run and run and run.

 

 

 

Now must have a word with whacko. Can't believe that he set that one up. Bet it ruined AA's holiday in Cyprus...

 

Oh didn't anyone else notice this?

 

The FOOTBALL SEASON HAS STARTED ANDY - don't you have a joke to run? - oops sorry Club
