    Portsmouth: Michael Eisner knows takeover will be financially 'daunting'
    Running Portsmouth FC would have "daunting" financial implications, according to the man who wants to take over the League Two club.
    Former Walt Disney chief executive Michael Eisner has told BBC Sport he thinks he is "the reasonable choice".
    He has bid £5.67m to buy a 100% stake and invest a further £10m in equity.
    "Fans have to decide if I'm the reasonable choice or if there's some other choice or other direction," he told BBC South Today.
    Eisner will address shareholders and members of the Pompey Supporters' Trust (PST) at a town hall-style meeting at the city's Guildhall on Thursday.
    "I've analysed what it's going to take financially and it's daunting," Eisner said. "It's not just the acquisition of the team, that's the least daunting.
    "It is the stadium, it's the academy, the pitch, it's all the way I'm used to serving the public. Coming out of Disney, we're interested in everything. Every single detail, every seed, every piece of food.
    "We've made an offer, which we believe is completely fair, completely consistent with what you would make in account of the investment and offer I make.
    "I hope the fans and the investors see it that way. If they don't see it that way, they have an alternative, which is not ridiculous. So if that's the way they want to go, that's fine."
    Portsmouth will be playing in League One next season after winning automatic promotion from the fourth tier and there is a possibility they could finish as champions if they win their final game at home to Cheltenham on Saturday.

    Eisner is a brilliant businessman. I have had shares in the Mouse since the 1980s.
    A huge appreciation in share price under Eisner as President. He will do great things there.

    For people that like puns...

    I couldn't give a Donald Duck about this, but I suppose The Skates need a Robin Hood and some Rescuers to transform them from a Cinderella club. They may as well have been on Pluto for the last few years and their previous owners were hardly Snow White, but maybe The Happiest Millionaire can transform them from a Sleeping Beauty or is that pure Fantasia?..:emoticon-0112-wonde

    ......and what a way to win it ! Thrashed Cheltenham 6-1. Brilliant celebrations afterwards, and our prospective owner and his two sons at Fratton Park to witness it all.
    My "YES" vote for the sale posted to the Portsmouth Supporters Trust today <cheers>

    I'm in the picture below - I'm the one in the blue shirt <laugh>
