Pay Up Pompey,Pompey Pay Up!

[pauld]

What kind of tinpot club would allow a convicted criminal do something like that?

...Oh.

We've been way out-tinpotted here. As Mr Storrie said when he was punting the al-Miraj "consortium" first time round (failed bid over the summer before they actually took over in the Autumn when it turned out Fahim was full of more shit than actual cash)

The people I had lined up would have taken the club on to a level you would not quite believe

As indeed they subsequently did. Not even Mikey D managed to get our website closed down.

You couldn't make this shit up - Ali Al Faraj is planning to challenge the Balram Chainrai take over in court, if he wins he would be their 5th owner of the season:

You've got to wonder what is really going on. With 3 different owners this season who were all only interested in making a short term profit from the club, surely they must have seen something to make them think there was profit. Or maybe they're just twats.

[Power to people]

They probably see the TV money that comes in and the lure of owning a PL club.

The latest owners has applied to HMRC to postpone the court case set for next week, I can't see why HMRC would dothat as pompey have not got any money to pay them they have already borrowed against their income from their share of TV revenue (See West Ham).

What happens if HMRC put pompey into admin Gaydamak claims to be owned more than them I assue he then becomes biggest creditor and can then vote for whatever takeover he see's fit being the biggest creditor - but can pompey go into admin with the only assests being the playing staff and office furniture ?

Oh dear.

He's gets paid quite a bit of money to be manager of Pompey....Oh.

That's genius

He's the manager of Portsmouth. Do you know how tough that is? He's a great manager stuck in a crappy team. He works so hard, he needs two massages a day, and from two women, not one

I know it's a cliche but, really, you couldn't make it up. Like a cross between The Thick of It, Footballers' Wives and Monty Python

I bet she takes it up the arse. I love modern girls

Fuck me, she's drunk her own piss on TV as well:

Mrs Grant, who is known in Israel for a succession of stunts on her TV show which have included drinking her own urine and bathing in liquid chocolate, said she had laughed when her husband phoned her yesterday morning to tell her his brothel visit had been made public.

I reckon Portsmouth will end up selling their story to Hollywood and get more than enough money for it to cover their debts. There's probably even a sequel in it. Only problem is the critics in the USA will brand it "ridiculous and totally unbelievable".

Has the prostitute been paid yet?

We should make her England captain

Has the prostitute been paid yet?

Apparently she hasn't put her invoice in yet - she takes it in arrears

Apparently she hasn't put her invoice in yet - she takes it in arrears

She must have pretty big lug holes then!
