What the hell is going on at Portsmouth? Despite Sulaiman Al Fayed passing the fit and proper persons test that the Premier League subjected him to, he's still not completed the takeover at Fratton Park. The fans of Pompey deserve better than this, it's not fair and it's getting beyond a joke.

Portsmouth duo Peter Crouch and Glen Johnson are targets for Manchester City and Liverpool respectively, according to Sunday Express Sport.
City and the Reds are ready to make bids totalling £20 million for the pair, as Pompey prepare for a possible clearout in the summer, which may be forced upon them if they are relegated.

English Premier League club Portsmouth have announced that their owner Alexandre Gaydamak has accepted an offer from Dubai based billionaire Dr.Sulaiman Al-Fahim to buy the club. Al-Fahim, who is on the board of the Abu Dhabi United Group (Owners of Man City), had talks with Pompey chairman Peter Storrie last night in Rome.

Portsmouth have accepted a bid from United Arab Emirates businessman Dr Sulaiman Al Fahim to buy the club.

The move follows negotiations led by Portsmouth executive chairman Peter Storrie on behalf of club owner Alexandre Gaydamak.

Al Fahim was the initial figurehead of the Abu Dhabi United Group when they took control of Manchester City last year, but is now acting for himself.

Ever since Roman Abramovich sent him packing from Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2008, Avram Grant has been on a one-man mission to prove that he was a success during his brief tenure as Chelsea manager. Second place in the league and one inch away from winning the Champions League final won't earn you any silverware.

A deal has finally been brokered between Israelis and Arabs. Portsmouth FC have been sold from Israeli Alexandre Gaydamak to Arab Sulaiman Al-Fahim.
Al-Fahim, a real estate billionaire, has been nicknamed the "Donald Trump" of Abu Dhabi. The 32-year old will take over a club in dire need of some investment, and the task will be considerably more difficult than producing a season or two of The Apprentice.

Premier League clubs, it should be remembered, enjoy every single advantage that the football world can throw at them. They have massive television contracts which give them an annual amount of money that would keep most lower league clubs going for years. They have the opportunity of European football.

Good news for Pompey fans.

Saudi business tycoon Ali Al Faraj has completed his takeover of Portsmouth, acquiring a 90% stake in the club.

Despite denial by club officials Gary Megson claims that Danny Shittu and Gavin McCann are currently in negotiations with Portsmouth.

"We're trying to move the squad forward and get it stronger. We have got 21 outfield players and it is about trying to make that number stronger.

You have to feel for Peter Storrie.
His second face was ecstatic as Pompey sunk to their latest defeat at the Emirates last Saturday. For, despite the defeat, our sneaky CEO had only gone and done the dirty on the man who was sitting next to him, US college kid lookalike, Sulaiman al-Fahim.

Portsmouth's off pitch worries look to be rescinding after Saudi business tycoon Ali Al Faraj completed his takeover of the club.

This is the second time in six weeks that Portsmouth have been the subject of a takeover by foreign investors. After the last bid was plagued by problems from start to finish, fans will be hoping that their new owner does a considerably better job than former incumbent Sulaiman Al Fahim.

Well, you wonder if sanity has left the South Coast this summer at Portsmouth, with weird takeovers, scraping around for signings, the chief executive being charged with tax evasion, another takeover, being banned from signing due to unpaid debts and now Paul Hart being moved out of the managers seat.

Is there a worse chairman in the history of the Premiership than Sulaiman Al-Fahim? I'm struggling to think of anyone who has misled, misinformed and treated the supporters of a club so clearly as Al-Fahim has in his 8 month relationship with Portsmouth. Today the HM Revenue & Customs have issues a winding up order against Portsmouth F.

Earlier this week, Russian oligarch Mikhail Prokhorov made a bid for control of the New Jersey Nets, which plays in America's professional basketball league, the NBA. If accepted, Prokhorov would join rapper Jay-Z, who has a minority stake in the team and is seeking to move it across the Hudson River to his hometown of Brooklyn.

When Sulaiman Al-Fahim talks, people listen and then laugh, much of the time. The problem with Portsmouth Football Club at the moment, however, is that Fahim's successor as owner is proving every bit as cack at the job as Fahim ever was but nothing like as funny. Fahim's latest Portsmouth pontifications have had the intellectual depth of a stroppy teenager.
