Pompey Takeover Saga

Mr Cala said, if he is successful, that he will sit down with the manager after performances to discuss mistakes and believes a successful club is nurtured through treating players as if they are family ... traditional mafia Family values it is then, as in The Godfather - that should motivate them alright

He conveniently ignored every question I have posed regarding how a takeover would be financed or where the money to settle the £40m of debt would be sourced, bearing in mind CCAA's has $14m of debt with no revenue stream and Cala's personal wealth being stated (by him) as £82m 'only'..

 

The questions he did 'answer' simply cannot have been for real - he has spent an hour of his life saying absolutely nothing..

 

Further evidence, if any was needed, to support the theory that any takeover by Joey is little more than pie in the sky..

Speaking to Meridian Tonight, Joseph Calla was asked what his background is and who was behind his bid.

 

He told the programme...

 

'I was trained by Walt Disney many many many years ago. I'm a business strategist, many people say I'm a coffee shop owner, which I always find quite amusing.'

 

'I actually have been in the past,been heavily involved in the fitting out of Salernitana football club stadium. Obviously I have an IT background, sales background, but also I have had involvement at Salernitana Academy and scouting for many, many years.'

 

'To give you an instance I was involved in the scouting of Lionel Messi from Newell's Old Boys youth team sadly, to FC Barcelona.'

 

'I have many, many contacts in football, I have many contacts abroad as well, in American MLS football as well as in Dubai.'

 

'So it's a mixture of many many things, all put together with a vision for a football club and we are going to drop the blueprint into here, but all will be revealed.'

 

When asked if it was his money he was investing in Portsmouth FC, Calla smiled and said...

 

'It is a consortium'

 

When pushed on who is in the consortium, he added...

 

'That is, something that really and honestly will never be answered properly and completely, but the truth of the matter is, there will be answers to that to an extent in tomorrow's (Friday's) press conference.'

He said he wants to run a football club. Following his short stint at Salernitana last year, Mr Cala said he looked at buying clubs in England and Italy, but chose to head for England due to the passionate fan base. As reported in today's story, Mr Cala was at the Southampton and Chelsea games and it appears his heart is set on Pompey because of the passionate fans.

 

Hurray for the passionate fans!!!!!![/TD]

So the only game he's seen at Fratton is the Derby game against us and that won him over? He's gonna feel very annoyed when he see's them play Ipswich on a cold and wet Tuesday night in February when barely 12,000 turn up to a half empty "stadium"!

Doesn't sound convincing does he? :lol:

 

All he needed to say was: "I don't know why AA is trying to find us a buyer. Portsmouth FC are a self sufficient company and not tied into the state of CSI's finances in the slightest. AA should stick to finding a buyer for CSI and leave us to run this football club in the same financially astute and self-sufficient way that we have done since CSI became our parent company"

OK so the cat is now obviously out of the bag. It's a non-TSW Saint on a wind up. That is just about a perfect rewrite of the infamous LLS Bompey interview

 

Well, whichever forum dreamt it up, well done lads.

45 bloody minutes!

That's how long it's just taken me to catch up on today's postings, and people ask me why I don't register and post more.

I think I waste enough of my life on here without getting obsessed! :?

 

Anyway, the real bombshell I spotted is that Cala isn't a tyre-kicking waste of space filling time while AA tries to conjure up a real owner, he's the man who discovered Lionel Messi....

According to him.

 

After all this time we may have discovered the real star of all these takeovers, Joe is obviously as mad as a box of frogs.

Give him a microphone, I want to hear more of his plans...

And NO I ain't EVER heard of him - it ain't me.

 

That last comment does not preclude the fact that previous fake owners may have passed this way

Yes, it should be so simple really. Surely, surely you're not suggesting anything to the contrary?

This Cala bloke has got to be some sort of p!ss take. Just had a look at his message on http://www.undersearesort.com and this is how it ends:

 

"However, the Undersea's biggest contribution may be that it will give a great opportunity for humankind to learn that marine life is as caring and loving as we are with our own loved-ones."

 

Either a match made in heaven for our fish fiddling friends or an elaborate wind up.

My money is on the administrator trying to convince the 'preferred' buyer that they have some competition out there in order to bump up the asking price.

 

And/or trying to convince the football league that Pompey will be saved in the immediate future thus putting off a points penalty...

 

Actually, no, that can't be right....they'd have come up with a plausible 'stooge' if that was the case...

I am sure this is one of the people on this site doing one of the best wind ups every.

 

Just been reading the comments. Slowly but surely evolution is occurring in the mudflats of Portsea Island. About 75% of the posters can see straight through this guy already. Maybe 50/50 for Antonov, barely 10% questioned Suleiman Al Cornetto. The next spiv potential buyer had really watch out.

It sounds like the script from Ian Flemings Octopussy starring Roger Moore as James Bond .Was the baddie in the underwater spacestation called Blowfelled or something FAF.

 

Takeover agent 009 is found dead at the British embassy in Abu Dhabi, dressed as a circus clown and carrying a fake proof of funds. MI6 immediately suspects AA involvement, and sends James Bond—agent 007—to investigate after seeing the new owner appear at a Court in London, ordering the agent to find out who the seller is. At the Airport, Bond is able to swap the real Buyer with the fake, and outbids exiled Hayling prince, Kamal Storrie, forcing Storrie to pay £500,000 for the bankrupt club. Bond follows Storrie back to his palace in Hayling Island, where Bond defeats Storrie in a game of backgammon, and escapes with his Indian colleague Venky from Storrie's bodyguard Chinny's attempts to kill them. Bond is seduced by one of Storrie's associates, Magda (Kristina Wayborn), and notices she has a blue-ringed octopus tattoo. Magda steals the realbuyer while Chinny captures Bond and takes him to Storrie's palace. After the agent escapes his cell, Bond discovers Storrie is working with the renegade Soviet General Gaydamak, who is seeking to expand Soviet borders through Europe.

After escaping the palace, Bond infiltrates a floating palace in Udaipur, India, and there finds its owner, Joe Cala, a wealthy man who leads the Octopus cult of which Magda is a part. In Joe Cala's groundfloor palace, Bond finds out Gaydamak has been supplying Storrie with priceless Soviet treasures, replacing them with loans, while Storrie has been smuggling the real versions into the West via Joe Cala's circus troupe. Gaydamak is planning to meet Storrie at nottarf krap in Portsea, where the circus is scheduled to perform. After evading Storrie's assassins, Bond goes to Portsea.

Bond infiltrates the circus, and finds that Gaydamak replaced the Soviet treasures with a nuclear landmine warhead, primed to explode during the circus show at a FA Cup match at Stamford Bridge. The explosion would trigger Europe into seeking disarmament in the belief that the bomb was a US one that detonated by accident, leaving its borders open to Soviet invasion. Bond then uses Gaydamak's car - on which the jewellery is found - to invade the circus club, while Gaydamak himself is shot dead by GDR guards while trying to cross the border. Bond kills the twin knife-throwers, Mischka and Grischka in revenge for the Derby defeat, and after being forced to leave the train, commandeers a civilian's Alfa Romeo to get to the Air Force base. At the base, Bond disguises himself as a clown to evade the West Germany police and attempts to convince Joe Cala that Storrie has betrayed him by showing him one of the promisory notes she was to be smuggling that he took from Gaydamak's car. Joe Cala realises the double-cross and assists Bond in deactivating the warhead in time.

Bond and Cala return to Hayling and launch an assault on Storrie's palace. Storrie and Chinny flee the palace, capturing Joe Cala in the process. Bond follows them as they attempt to escape on an aeroplane and grabs the outside of the plane before it takes off and disables one of its engines. Chinny dies after falling off the roof of the plane, and after Bond rescues Joe Cala from Storrie, the duo jump to a nearby cliff moments before the plane crashes into a mountain, killing Storrie. While M and General Gogol discuss the return of the jewellery, Bond recuperates with Joe Cala aboard his private boat in India.

 

 

Found this on Wiki, honest

So sad to see Cala Corp go from this....

 

Key developments for CALA CORP (CCAA)

 

Cala Corp. Signs Agreement with the Most Prestigious Yard in the Industry to Construct the First Waterfront Undersea Resort

01/27/2011

Cala Corp. announced that it will expand its Undersea Resort in response to the $1 trillion global market demands. The Undersea Resort has signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement with the most prestigious yard in the industry STX Europe, for future waterfront construction of the following various possible uses: Lavishly-appointed Suites - 330, ranging from 1,100 to 12,000 square feet each. Spa and Ageless Treatment Clinic - 500,000 square feet, Convention Center and Executive Meeting space - 1,200,000 square feet, CasinoResort, Family Gaming Arcade and Water Park - 1,000,000 square feet, Class A Exhibit and Concert Hall space - 13,000 seats, Professional Sport Stadium - 20,000 seats, Undersea Natural Aquarium - 5,000,000 square feet, Class A Tower Office - 1,000,000 square feet, and University or Hospital Campus - From 500,000 to 1,200,000 square feet. The global market demand is endless because the waterfront undeveloped properties represent almost 75% of the earth's traditional real estate. The product line is especially attractive to industry because the Undersea Resort has the added benefit of being environmentally safe, with almost zero emission. The actual development cost per location is from $500 million to $1.5 billion. Each development location will be funded directly by the actual owner of the project. The owners are classified as the largest pension system funds or REIT.

 

....to a "Dormant Company" in the space of just one year (according to Cala in his 'interview' (*chortle*) with The Portsmouth News today)

 

Nah, I still refuse to fall for it.... ;-)
