And at last some good news - League grow a pair and tell Chainrai to sling his hook. Maybe "Fit and Proper" finally means something:

Somebody failed the Fit and Proper test? Its akin to winning at Mornington Cresent.

Hopefully moving a step closer to getting rid of the stains and rebuilding a future:

Think they'll be rebuilding from the basement though

Its an interesting statement though Mr D. Is it a Bob Holt style flush out the PST backers by pretending the are American and not a fan of the club property developers. Or is it a genuine concern? Or just flannel to try and get back in the bidding process?

Got any busybody mates in the PST ?

Talking of which I wonder what happened to Jim Little, ironically an American businessman that was not a fan of the club, and the rest of the BEST mob.

Sorry Batch missed this when you first posted, not ignoring you

Standard Chanrai bullshit. The PST bid is developer-funded but it's benign, the developer is a Pompey fan, member of the Trust and his investment is an integral part of the overall bid. Chainrai just doesn't like business models that don't include "and then I siphon all the money off and leave the club bleeding to death"

Just sent a couple of congratulatory texts about this very welcome news:

Now the hard work begins for them... wish them the very best of luck, will take years to put right the damage done, but at least they can start doing that now.

Will they be docked 10 points when the takeover is completed?

I heard that somewhere but don't know if it was paper talk or what.

Even if they do get 10 points taken they still won't be bottom of the league!

Jesus. 60m in debt for a club at the bottom of league one. Now that's bad, how they ever going to get that back? And I thought our 16m was bad.
