    This has just been reported in the News:

    However, it is reported by Rory McKeown - who did lots of interviews with Mr "I'll build a new underwater stadium for you" Cala Joseph.

    Sounds like a good buyer, just so long as they don't "do a Sulaiman al Fahim" and pronounce Portsmouth will sign Messi, David Silva, Villa and Eto'o, as he did that time a few years back <laugh>

    Any owner would do at the minute- and I'd prefer them to Chaincu nt! ;)

    I wonder who form part of the Arabian consortium, 3rd eye ?

    Ali Al Faraj, Sulemain Al Fahim, anyone.........

    All I can say is we as fans should &#1580;&#1610;&#1608;&#1604;&#1608;&#1580;&#1610;&#1577; &#1608;&#1580;&#1610;&#1608;&#1603;&#1610;&#1605;&#1610;&#1575;&#1574;&#1610;&#1577; &#1575;&#1604;&#1589;&#1582;&#1608;&#1585; &#1575;&#1604;&#1580;&#1608;&#1585;&#1575;&#1587;&#1610;&#1577; &#1575;&#1604;&#1581;&#1575;&#1590;&#1606;&#1577; &#1604;&#1578;&#1585;&#1587;&#1576;&#1575;&#1578; &#1575;&#1604;&#1576;&#1575;&#1585;&#1575;&#1610;&#1578;&#1548;, and if that doesn't work, we ought to &#1575;&#1604;&#1588;&#1585;&#1603;&#1577; &#1575;&#1604;&#1593;&#1575;&#1605;&#1577; &#1604;&#1604;&#1605;&#1587;&#1581; &#1575;&#1604;&#1580;&#1610;&#1608;&#1604;&#1608;&#1580;&#1610; &#1608;&#1575;&#1604;&#1578;&#1593;&#1583;&#1610;&#1606;/ &#1576;&#1594;&#1583;&#1575;&#1583; , or even consider &#1603;&#1604;&#1610;&#1577; &#1575;&#1604;&#1593;&#1604;&#1608;&#1605; &#1580;&#1575;&#1605;&#1593;&#1577; &#1589;&#1604;&#1575;&#1581; &#1575;&#1604;&#1583;&#1610;&#1606;, but that of course is my thoughts on the matter. Assalamu' alikum <ok>

    Hhhmmmm - it could well be that it's a Sulamain al Fahim (spelling?) consortium <doh>

    But so far Rory McKeown is not to be taken as a trusted reporter.

    I am somewhat weary of a "Middle-East Consortium" considering the trouble we've had in the past with people from that area owning the club, we'll have to see how things develop.

    If it goes this way, then the German model of club ownership must be adopted. 51% of ownership by the fans, gives them (the people with the best intentions the power). I wouldn't care if Mother Terasa was taking over, the fans must hold the majority of the power in clubs. Especially with more and more clubs being shafted by **** owners.

    I would like to say that I speak fluent Arabic, meowth - but I'd be telling porkies !

    I googled in Al Fahim's name, and it went from there.

    Lawrence of Arabia would have been proud <laugh>

    Yeah - but things have been a bit quiet lately, whilst Birch is doing his 10 points thing, and we haven't had any nutters (apart from the man Chan) for a while so it's time to provide us with someone else to laugh at.

    I don't suppose there are three penniless Arabs, so it must be alright this time........ mustn't it?

    According to The News there is a bid by arab businessmen (probably al fahim) to buy Pompey, talk of £12.5 million in escrow account, also talk of Ken Bates buying when sale of Leeds is concluded, any thoughts?

    Ken Bates!

    Knowing his preference for moving money around the Cayman Islands he might own us already?

    Lots of chatter - his latest tweet says "a pompey fan is buying the club".

    You certainly don't want Bates.

    Just ask Leeds.
