What is going on? This guy is as sketchy as they come. he doesn thave the money does he?! From BBC. Pompey set for new takeover twist Portsmouth could become the subject of a new takeover after it emerged owner Sulaiman Al Fahim is willing to sell part of his stake in the ailing club. BBC Sport understands Saudi business tycoon Ali Al Faraj will make an offer for a majority stake on Monday. Ivo Gabara, a spokesman for Al-Fahim, said: "Sulaiman's lawyers are engaged in talks with lawyers for Al-Faraj. "He expects an offer to be made. In the best interests of the club, he is willing to forego full ownership." He added: "If or when an offer is on the table, it will be considered on its merits." The two sets of representatives were meeting in London, while Al-Fahim has also met with Premier League officials. BBC Sport understands Al Faraj has already passed the Premier League's fit and proper person test. He is believed to have supplied the club with a £5m bridging loan to pay the players' wages. He was believed to be part of a consortium put together by club chief executive Peter Storrie and which was initially beaten to the takeover of the Fratton Park side when former owner Alexandre Gaydamak chose to sell to Al Fahim. During that time, Al Faraj passed the Premier League's fit and proper persons test for directors of football clubs. Al Fahim recently told Pompey fans he would raise £50m to help the club's precarious financial position and allow manager Paul Hart to strengthen his squad. Gabara, talking to BBC 5 Live's Sportsweek programme on Sunday, said he believed the refinancing deal was on course to be completed over the next three weeks, with two major financial institutions in Europe and the United States pledging loans. Hart faced the departure of a number of key players in the summer as the club tried to raise money to help ease debts. He finally led the south coast side to their first win in the Premier League on Saturday when they beat Wolves 1-0, but Pompey are still bottom of the top flight having played eight games. |

I bet when portsmouth fans first heard the were being bought by Al Fahim they were buzzing their nuts off thinking they were gonna be next in line for the kind of cash injection we've had. The disappointment must be like having your heart tore out and used as a puchbag. I do feel lucky it wasn't us. |

Well, at least tonight they have just got rid of a shyster and probably got some real investment. Dr. S is an interesting character, fo' sho'. |

According to prozone, Alan Wiley ran further than all but seven of the players in the match. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1218332/EXCLUSIVE-ProZone-analysis-proves-Manchester-United-Sir-Alex-Ferguson-got-wrong-ref-Alan-Wiley.html I know it's the Daily Fail, but I think the stats will be accurate enough. |

I saw this on the freebie newspaper on the tube tonight. What an ABSOLUTE PRIZE TIT Ferguson looks like now. Let's hear him bac his way out of this and the FA and Refs FA swallow it. Also, full marks to Wiley, I had no idea they ran that far! |
