Master Bates Posted 23 November, 2008 Posted 23 November, 2008 That's right, you can own your rivals club for just £1. PORTSMOUTH owner Alexandre Gaydamak is so desperate to offload the cash-strapped south coast club he is offering to sell his shares — for a POUND. Gaydamak has instructed his solicitors to tout the FA Cup holders to venture capitalists in the City after failing to find a buyer through the usual channels. http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/sport/81810/JUST-ONE-POUND-BUYS-POMPEY.html
bridge too far Posted 23 November, 2008 Posted 23 November, 2008 I have just brightened Mr TF's day by sending this link to him at work
ivangolac Posted 23 November, 2008 Posted 23 November, 2008 Brilliant ... Will Pompey be the first club to be sold for a pound TWICE ???? Cue Corp , 'don't believe what you read in the papers , my sources say we are about to be taken over by a Chinese/Arab/South African/Norwegian/Fiijan consortium' , two weeks from today/yesterday/last week ' PMLS
Poshie72 Posted 23 November, 2008 Posted 23 November, 2008 haha that has just made my Sunday morning what a good weekend this is turning out to be
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 23 November, 2008 Posted 23 November, 2008 At last! The real reason for the twitcher's departure!
Johnny Bognor Posted 23 November, 2008 Posted 23 November, 2008 Do you think he would take a spider as payment? http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=5333 It's got to be worth at least a quid!
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 23 November, 2008 Posted 23 November, 2008 LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL:D I liked the bit where it said "Ramshackle" about Fartton. Firesale come january....
hamster Posted 23 November, 2008 Posted 23 November, 2008 Nice that they are building on the success of last season.LOL **** Off Pompey, Pompey **** Off. I sense that we saints fans are going to have many more 'good news' days in the next few seasons.
Colinjb Posted 23 November, 2008 Posted 23 November, 2008 (edited) Outstanding! Losing 1 million pounds per month. You would have to be clinically insane to buy that club! Who was the last club to have debt and loses of this sort? Oh yes. Leeds United. Even taking assetts into account, it's only worth 50 million! Portsmouth Football Club is worth a grand total of -45 million pounds. What a wonderful, wonderful weekend. Edited 23 November, 2008 by Colinjb
Arizona Posted 23 November, 2008 Posted 23 November, 2008 It's tempting... Buy PFC for £1 and sell FP for UNaffordable housing. Only bummer would be the £95m in debt. :-k Maybe if an already suicidal Saints fan (there's got to be a few about) did it, then topped themselves, it wouldn't be a problem. Looks like Gaydamak is trying to turn them into the Gretna of the South.
Evil Monkey Posted 23 November, 2008 Posted 23 November, 2008 Anybody want to start a consortium? I reckon I can mangage a 10-15p investment.
Scummer Posted 23 November, 2008 Posted 23 November, 2008 I might offer a quid, and then just as contracts are due to be exchanged I'll gazunder Sacha and offer 60p. It's a buyers market, after all.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 23 November, 2008 Posted 23 November, 2008 Where are Corp,mackrill and the like? Come on chaps let`s here your views:D
St Landrew Posted 23 November, 2008 Posted 23 November, 2008 Peeps, do remember that this is The News OF The World. If it gets published by a respectable newspaper, with a reputation for responsible reporting, then I'll believe it.
Michelle Posted 23 November, 2008 Posted 23 November, 2008 Peeps, do remember that this is The News OF The World. If it gets published by a respectable newspaper, with a reputation for responsible reporting, then I'll believe it. But it's still fun to laugh about it in the meantime!
St Landrew Posted 23 November, 2008 Posted 23 November, 2008 But it's still fun to laugh about it in the meantime! Well.. true. But what about if it is a load of rubbish, and that Pompey are on their way to an eventual new stadium, and a better future..? Wouldn't you just feel worse..? Especially as the crowd from down the other end of the M27 would come on here and gloat, wall to wall. No.. I can wait for confirmation from elsewhere.

There's another club much closer than the Skates who we should be worrying about, as much as I enjoy the schadenfreude of seeing them, hopefully, in a worse state than us!
RedArmy Posted 23 November, 2008 Posted 23 November, 2008 Peeps, do remember that this is The News OF The World. If it gets published by a respectable newspaper, with a reputation for responsible reporting, then I'll believe it.Going by Corps rule, if it's in the paper it's 100% FACTO. Ergo, lol@pompey joining the slide.
SOTONS EAST SIDE Posted 23 November, 2008 Posted 23 November, 2008 Its a pity they dont make 1/2p pieces anymore, because thats 99.5p more that their worth! LOL
Weston Super Saint Posted 23 November, 2008 Posted 23 November, 2008 Fortunately He's hired Keith Harris of Seymour Pierce and Orville fame. He's got no chance of selling the club now :shock:
stevegrant Posted 23 November, 2008 Posted 23 November, 2008 Fortunately He's hired Keith Harris of Seymour Pierce and Orville fame. He's got no chance of selling the club now :shock: I've always wondered about Harris' continued involvement in the search for football investment. Surely there's a massive conflict of interests as he's now publicly looking for buyers for Newcastle, Everton and Pompey. If he only finds one potential buyer, who does he recommend they go to? The one who pays him the biggest commission?

Crouchie's Lawyer Posted 24 November, 2008 Posted 24 November, 2008 Still no Ho? Uh-oh! Things that are more expensive than Pompey FC...

Pip87 Posted 24 November, 2008 Posted 24 November, 2008 Not a bad price for the toilet cleaner. Might get some of that.
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 24 November, 2008 Posted 24 November, 2008 Not a bad price for the toilet cleaner. Might get some of that. I wouldn't bother; it's an ecologically friendly one which means it doesn't work...
Durleyfos Posted 24 November, 2008 Posted 24 November, 2008 Germs and bacteria have feelings too, ffs.
Thedelldays Posted 24 November, 2008 Posted 24 November, 2008 who wants to go 2's-up with me.. 50p each???
View From The Top Posted 24 November, 2008 Posted 24 November, 2008 who wants to go 2's-up with me.. I imagine wiltshire, tiggs, finch and the other members of the geek squad crack off to that very thought every day.
Weston Super Saint Posted 24 November, 2008 Posted 24 November, 2008 I just looked behind the sofa and this is all I could find....

Theirs always one **** who has to be the Joana and try to feck up what has been for you pony boys a Trifffffic weekend. I wonder if this will mean No Mince Pie this year;)
Saint Martini Posted 24 November, 2008 Posted 24 November, 2008 I don't think laughing at the misfortune of others is something you should be proud of but I can't help but smile at this news.
PES Posted 24 November, 2008 Posted 24 November, 2008 Pompey fans are smiling at Saints Situation and Saints fans are smiling at Pompey's situation, what happy times these are down here on the South coast!
Saint Martini Posted 24 November, 2008 Posted 24 November, 2008 Pompey fans are smiling at Saints Situation and Saints fans are smiling at Pompey's situation, what happy times these are down here on the South coast! Too bad both sets of fans are probably not smiling at the situation at their clubs.

1976_Child Posted 25 November, 2008 Posted 25 November, 2008 I wouldn't want pompey for a £1. Well, actually, if I was rich enough I would buy them and then saw off fratton from the rest of the country, tow it out to sea and sink it. Skates belong in the sea, not on land.
dubai_phil Posted 25 November, 2008 Posted 25 November, 2008 Damn the pound went up a bit today, so my 5 dirhams won't quite cover it now. Pray tell me chaps - as I've been away soo long, does that 95mil debt figure include the loan note on their new stadium mortgage? Still one thing in their favour, for the first time I suppose we could say that they are almost priceless
jawillwill Posted 25 November, 2008 Posted 25 November, 2008 So in summary Saints Pompy Bmounth Are all financially screwed Must be something in the water down here!!! All 3 of them have a certain **** in common.
