The Arabs are back!! Maybe?

Looks like Pompey may be taken over by the Arabs, so we may soon be one of the very few Premiership teams that doesn't have a very very rich owner!!

Mind the relationship between the owners of Man City and Pompey may be seen to be a bit incestuous, or at least too close for comfort. So may not be allowed to happen. The UAE is trying to buy the world with all its oil money!

First they had an arms dealer, now a Sheik.......that £3m for Distin seems likely as they'll be after Nesta, Mertesacker and Vidic next
Was right all along

But not an Arab I hope, after spending 3 years working in the UAE I wouldn't trust any of them!!

Many a true word is said in jest but it makes you want to cringe!

Where is that billionaire from Bolton that we need!!! As we won't last long as a premiership team as more and more Clubs sell their souls to the money men.

If it's not Russian mafia, its American gansters or Oil mobsters, a very sad state of affairs for someone from the 10 pound a week background.
