ericofarabia Posted 23 February, 2010 Share Posted 23 February, 2010 (edited) Had a spare moment or two and the re emergence of Corp tonight and the Riquleme signing situation taunts, I thought I'd have a quick flick thru Corps posting history ...... I thoroughly recommend it ... priceless Here are a few found at random ..... a fair while ago, but even then folk on here were warning Ho et al of their impending doom!!! You'd have thought they were used to failed takeovers by now !!! 15 Sep 08 I've been told that there are three bids on the table for Pompey. One is a Thai group, one is a Russian guy whose name I've been told but won't repeat on here (he's very, very wealthy though - we're talking multiple billions) and the third is in all likelihood not arabs but Hong Kong Chinese - again mega Billions. Good to see what Stuey said - that mega rich investors wouldn't be lining up to buy Pompey - coming true isn't it? He's a genius that Stuey 08 Oct 08 If the buyers are from the four groups I was told about I don't think spending £130m on a stadium will make much of a dent in their finances. 01 Oct 08 Nick Nack, nothing is a front to keep my spirits up. I'm not talking about millionaires buying Pompey, I'm talking about billionaires. There are currently three groups bidding for the club. One YOU correctly identified as a german group so if even you've heard that people are bidding for PFC how can you say that I'm just trying to put a brave front on things? That kind of blows your argument here out of the water, wouldn't you say 21 Nov 08 PMSL. So when Storrie says this he's the man to listen to but when he says we have no financial problems and that we won't be selling players in January you tell me he's a liar and that we're going bust. I love the way you lot change your tune when it suits you. As for us being a small town, I think you'll find that we were deemed a city many years before your little dump and in theory, you still shouldn't be classed as a city given that you don't have a cathedral. Portsmouth has two. Would you like one of them as you can't seem to afford your own? 23 Dec 08 Was told late last night that the SA group looking to buy us had a hitch in their plans but that they now have the finance to buy the club pretty much in place. They have around £60m and Gaydamak wants £65m. Have been told that the deal should (unless something else crops up) happen some time in January. Have also been told that this group don't want Adams and that he's likely to be moved out before the deal is announced. So keep watching. How's your search for new owners coming along? I hear administration is a definite possibility for you in January. 27 May 09 Have just been told that an announcement about the future of PFC will be made within 48 hours. Don't think you lot will like it much Now where have I heard that before 28 May 09 But I thought no-one would buy Pompey Nick. You told me so repeatedly and so did the Romsey Retard. You kept saying you were a much more attractive proposition. Don't worry, I've read he's only 10 times as wealthy as Abramovich http://www.thefirstpost.co.uk/people,1334,who-is-the-man-benind-man-city-deal,43031 More later maybe Edited 23 February, 2010 by ericofarabia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fowllyd Posted 23 February, 2010 Share Posted 23 February, 2010 Noticeable how Corpy's tone has changed recently too. So many of his posts have had an arrogant, gloating quality as he looked forward to the untold riches coming Pompey's way. Now he's just whining like a two-year-old about how nasty we are. Well, if you can't take it you shouldn't dish it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxstone Posted 23 February, 2010 Share Posted 23 February, 2010 Don't you just love a gob****e getting his comeuppance !! Last week it was all the PL's fault for allowing "criminals" to run the club ! I thought that "allegedly" started before that with their previous owner ( 5 times removed), CEO and ex manager who were all Corpy's buddies !! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 23 February, 2010 Share Posted 23 February, 2010 I do love it when a kn*b poster self destructs in respone to polite or logical posts like he did yesterday. far more satisfying than getting into "out-insulting" them. Did he honestly believe that the rumour that Richard Branson had been asked to look at buying the club had wings? That was a lolage moment - serves him right for not reading more of our own oldtakeover threads (instead of simply dropping in and bragging), he would have known the corporate response - we don't look to limit our brand to small localised operations - ie corporate speak for - you're avin a larf.

spyinthesky Posted 23 February, 2010 Share Posted 23 February, 2010 To be fair to Ho, I think it is highly unlikely that he is one of the nasty knuckle dragger types we often see sporting Pompey colours. He does seem to have a modicum of intelligence, albeit misplaced at times. Ho also appears to be a fairly well balanced person nowadays ie a chip on both shoulders.

StuRomseySaint Posted 23 February, 2010 Share Posted 23 February, 2010 Corp was obviously right and I was wrong... of course there are plenty of serious investors queueing up for P*mpey... which is in contrast to what I have said for the past 3 years. :-( You were right all along Corpy. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericofarabia Posted 23 February, 2010 Author Share Posted 23 February, 2010 QUOTE=Corporate Ho;546427] If you want to know what I feel, my worry is that the club will cease to exist and will be liquidated so the ****s now in charge can develop the land. But before you laugh too loudly, just think, Liebherr's undoubtedly bought you as an investment to punt on for a profit at some point. You've got no say in who buys you and someone could come in and do the same to you as they've done to PFC. Happy new year girls and if we stay in business maybe we'll spank you 4 - 1 again next year in the chumpionship. He's a witch I tells ya .... he posted that on 30 Dec, before the cup draw was made ... ok the competition is wrong but predicting THAT result again .... plain scary. :cool: I was going to post in response to Norway Saint that I wasn't starting a witch hunt against him (but now that I have discovered that he is one, I can't post that ) I haven't actually posted anything against him .... just quoted him and let his words do the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PES Posted 23 February, 2010 Share Posted 23 February, 2010 I really look forward to Corps posts, to me, it's people like Corp that make messageboards worth reading. He stirs things up on here, i'm too bloody polite, I have all the worst intentions, but don't get it right (A bit like Viz's Pathetic Sharks), if I had the ability to get under your skins in the way Corp does I'd do it, but it just aint me. In some ways Corp is almost like an analogy for PFC, most of you want him to dissappear forever, but trust me, you'd miss him when he's gone!
