Pompey Takeover Saga


Fitzhugh Fella

Recommended Posts

I miss those days. I spent the hours in between lectures at university browsing this thread. The numerous court proceedings, along with the Pompey News webchats, were superb fun. I kind of want them to get a couple of promotions and then for it to go wrong again.

 

The only thing missing is a victory against them. 12 years and counting, that's half my lifetime!

Pompey fans on twitter getting excited because they've signed (another) striker from Hampton and Richmond

 

“Coming from non-league and now signing for a club like Pompey, life’s going to completely change.

 

“I’ve quit my job as a car salesman after four years and I will be moving down to the area.

 

“Playing in front of 17,000 people will be the strangest thing. I’ve seen it on TV, but it’s not until I’m out there and am able to soak in the atmosphere for myself first-hand that it will all sink in.

 

 

Mention how big the club is, check

Mention the famous atmosphere, check

No mention of how the fans are the best in the country though, so he still has a bit to learn.

"You know Paul, playing for Portsmouth is very much like making love to a beautiful woman. First, compliment the old lady excessively on the size of her fan base. Once you've been selected, be prepared to give that fan base a good hard sucking so as to ensure that she is a little more forgiving when you prove to be less than cable when performing. It's critical to find a goal quickly. This lady can be very impatient, so be prepared for your confidence to be dented should you fail to offer much penetration. If things do go well you will probably start thinking about a more an attractive alternative. At that point, its best to pull out as quickly as possible. Don't worry, that smell will eventually rub off."

"The angst shown around the ground as the Geordie lad loitered on the ball in one first-half incident was jarring.

 

It was an instinctive, perhaps even perfectly natural, airing of frustration to the glimpse of an opening disappearing.

 

As one shrewd observer noted, however, it’s the sort of conditions which create a self-fulfilling environment for the striker."

 

 

 

It gets better.....

 

 

 

"It’s the ever-decreasing circles which eventually sees [sic] a player swallowed up in a vortex of sapped morale. Reports of booing as the player took to the pitch in the second half are indefensible, however. [The reports are indefensible?] It’s evident Smith is now bereft of the confidence he gained off the back of three goals in three [matches] going into December. All the signifiers there to show it. [sic.]"

 

 

100% pure crapola.

Quite clearly the utter drivel of the apprentice Jordan Cross. Don't know how he and Comical Allen manage it, but they really are an insufferable pair with the way they each mangle the language in the name of prose.

Probably the best signing they've made in ages - shows they might have worked out that they will get further signing keen younger players who've been successful lower down in the pyramid that League One mercenaries.

Taking over from Comical Ali, they've got a new spokesman...

 

"There were over 250,000 fans at the FA Cup inauguration on Southsea Common, the biggest and by far the bestest gathering of supporters in the history of world soccer."

 

Post-truth Pompey, “alternative facts”, he'll fit right in.

The only problem will be if he allows himself to be overawed by the challenge

[h=3]Chairman 'positive' over Morecambe future[/h]

The chairman of Morecambe Football Club has told BBC Radio Lancashire he is now positive about the future after a meeting last night.

 

Peter McGuigan says the meeting involved board members and the club's former co-chairman - Qatari businessman Abdulrahman Al Hashemi.

Mr McGuigan says the club's board is still trying to resolve serious financial issues since a takeover in September by the Brazilian businessman Diego Lemos.

Yesterday it emerged that Joseph Cala had ended his interest in taking over the League Two club.

 

Not Joseph Cala of the infamous pompey underwater casino fame? Lucky Morcambe!

Really? He's only 19 and been at Saints for six years. Before that he was at the Elite Training Academy. If he ever was at skates it means it was when he was a small kid and that their academy either couldnt spot his talent or weren't good enough to develop it.

And soon he'll be worth more on his own than their entire shambles put together!
