I haven't a clue with Photoshop or any image progs but I thought the gist of the dig would be understood. Constructive criticism is always welcome.

Just. Bloody. Brilliant.

So not only will they be Skates but also plaasjapies! Now that's a hybrid to think about!

Despite the open and seemingly honest comments made by Mero etc (they will suffer through all this) I find the likes of the Ho and his ilk increasingly guiding me to wishing PCFC (or whatever they are called by the time you read this) totally and utterly out of existence.

Chuckleball. A brand new game from EA games where you can take control of PCFC and toy with the livelihoods of 600 people and a world full of adoring fans (the best fans in the world TM. ). Watch your opponents though as they may grab 'the ball' from you! Based on that old favourite, Monopoly, test your luck with the CHANCER card. Here you may find an unbeleiveably rich Sheikh to save you, or the COMMUNITY CHEST where you get to crawl to the PL and ask them to make a brand new set of rules. It's all here folks, and remember the catchphrase as the ball is passed about "TO ME, TO YOU!"

Probably nearer the mark, anyway you dont have to pay PAYE, or any taxes, do you? Oh! You are supposed to!

Here in Eastleigh we dont wish that. We dont want TCWTB soiling our stand seats.

Keeping his counsell until such time as it is prudent to reveal anything which he does know. Maybe it is better to reveal anything after the fact, as an explanation, than to say anything right now and get flamed into the bargain?

Respect to the fella. R.I.P.

Are you Lifelongcherryskate in disguise perchance? ;-)

Please, please tell us. You know how untruthful they are over on POL!

Don't panic Mr Mainwaring! Corpy will tell us, he's always right you know!

Storrie "It's 16.00, why has nobody called to save us?" Door opens, in steps the Secretary " The BT engineer is leaving now Mr Storrie, he says he'll reconnect us when we pay the bill"

Oh sh!t, wrong address!

But this is where the smoke and mirrors come into effect. (I forget the figures exactly) Storrie teller stated they could pay this sum immediately (£4+ Million ?) but were in dispute about the £5+ million? Which HMRC want at the same time.

The EPL will pay the HMRC for them ....... no?

Always good to see someone baiting a hook for the Ho!

The document has to arrive first. Are you confident that Vantis, aided by the always above board Mr Storrie, can actually achieve that?

From your link I followed this one: http://www.arabianbusiness.com/569555-why-i-sold-portsmouth-fc Which makes interesting reading and confirms our (SWF) opinion about PFC and Comical Ali. This part stood out immediately "When I first became interested in taking over the club earlier this year, I had intended to finance the purchase and on-going investment myself. As the due diligence and takeover process unfolded, it became clear the level of debt – and the urgency of repayments – was higher than anyone had imagined. It has always been my intention to fully finance the purchase by mid-October. However, it became clear last week that there was a danger this would be too late, given the pressing financial commitments in the past few days. It was for this reason that I decided to relinquish the majority of the shares to an outside investor who was prepared to immediately bring new funding to the club." Hence the appearance (non) of Al Mirage. October, hmmmm. Methinks they may have been insolvent then and, probably, even earlier. Roll on 16.00 and the non appearance of the SOA due to a file not loading properly.

On that second link, this is what Pompeyrug has to say "this is what the article says... DUBAI // A court has issued an arrest warrant for Sulaiman al Fahim, the former public face of Hydra Properties and host of the business-themed reality television show Hydra Executives, for failing to pay a debt of more than Dh8 million. The warrant was issued last Thursday after a ruling against Mr al Fahim by the Dubai Property Court in January last year in connection with a property dispute. An investor from Azerbaijan demanded to be repaid after a development by Mr al Fahim’s company, Al Buraq Development and Investment, failed to go ahead in Dubai, court documents show. An arrest warrant has also been issued against Saqr Abdullah Mohammed, the owner of another Dubai company involved in the deal, Ghantoot Star General Trading. The Dubai Property Court ordered Mr al Fahim, who is also the former owner of the English Premier League football club Portsmouth, to repay the Azerbaijani investor, identified as AM, a total of Dh8,634,836 (US$2.3m) – the original Dh8m he invested plus court and legal fees. In its judgment, the court said a nine per cent daily penalty would be imposed from the date of the first court hearing until the date the sum was repaid. By that rule, it would mean that, up until today, Dh374,579,070 was owed. Mr al Fahim, who is believed to be in Britain, faces only a local arrest warrant, not an international one. Sources close to the investigation said an Interpol red notice had not been filed. It would be the likely next step for the UAE authorities should they want Mr al Fahim extradited. Mr al Fahim would be arrested if he were to re-enter the UAE or any UAE embassy or government building. A spokesman for Mr al Fahim was unable to comment on the case. The court documents said Mr al Fahim had cleared almost all his assets from this country. Inquiries sent by the court to local banks found that Mr al Fahim had transferred all his local funds to undisclosed overseas locations. The Dubai Land Department said he personally owned only one plot of land in the emirate, in Mirdiff, and sold it after the court judgment was issued against him on January 14 last year. It was also disclosed that Mr al Fahim owned assets worth only Dh3,000 in stocks in the UAE. The court said in its judgment sheet that the amount demanded was large in comparison to the amount requested by the plaintiff, but was small in comparison with the assets Mr al Fahim is believed to hold. The judgment was issued to effect immediate repayment by the defendant, it said. The case was registered on October 24, 2008, after AM signed purchase contracts with Al Buraq Development and Investment for two floors, off-plan, at the Sky Tower development in Business Bay. AM bought floors 12 and 14 of the tower for Dh23,102,343. In June 2006, he paid just over Dh8m up front. The investor was promised that the tower would be completed by the end of 2008. But one year into the project, he learnt that building work had not started and he decided to investigate. Dubai Properties, which initially owned the land, even claimed that the land was never handed to Al Buraq Development and Investment in the first place, as Al Buraq did not meet the terms of the deal that had been agreed. In November 2008, Mr al Fahim’s defence lawyers told the court that the plot was sold to Ghantoot Star General Trading for Dh97,500,000 and that Al Buraq and Mr al Fahim no longer had any involvement in the case. The legal team asked for Mr al Fahim’s name to be dropped from the case. The court refused to drop the case against Mr al Fahim, saying the deal was made between him and the plaintiff before the alleged sale of the project. The plot remains undeveloped. Mr al Fahim, 32, amassed a fortune through his Abu Dhabi-based Hydra Properties empire, which is behind a number of developments across the UAE. He has regularly courted the limelight, particularly in his role as host of the Hydra Executives reality TV programme. In March last year, he was named the world’s fourth most influential Arab by Arabian Business magazine and was elected as the first president of the newly formed Arab Union for Real Estate Development. He hit the international headlines last year with his protracted purchase of ailing Portsmouth FC. The deal took almost three months to complete and his ownership lasted little more than 40 days after he failed to inject capital and pay the players’ wages on time. This triggered a takeover by the Saudi Arabian property magnate Ali al Faraj. Mr al Fahim, who stepped down as chief executive of Hydra Properties during his purchase of the club, remains on the company’s board. Neither Mr al Fahim nor Ghantoot Star General Trading were available for comment last night. ========== unbelievable, i am just sat here laughing as you could not make it up could you... " Oh we could believe anything of the Skates and their associates at this given time!

, Hmmm, we'd better not grab the opportunity, should it come, then.

From the above article "Hopefully, they will survive. If they don't the FA Cup committee must decide whether to give Birmingham a bye or re-admit Southampton as the last side beaten by Portsmouth." Should that be so then there will be a lot of angry skates, I mean more so than usual. Or maybe a bit of a wind up from the Snu? I think they've done it before.

There will still be more than one from Swindon, Colchester etc. Also, in support of AP, we will have had a year of bonding, a decent cloes and pre-season and stability. I think next season is the one to do it.

Look at it from a different point. He's surely doing us a favour if he drags them down? If his connivance does that then he'll be a hero in a lot of Saints fan's books! It was wrong to do it with his wife there. Again, from a different point, if you were out with a lady friend and got a slap from a Pompey fan, imagine how frightening that would have been from her point of view.
