Manwell Pablo Posted 31 October 2006 Posted 31 October 2006 Where's Ultra these days, I was hoping to hear some of his negative aspects, i find them very entertaining to say the least!!! In a corner, hugging his knees, shivering, chanting Hevenu shalom. EDIT: Add rocking backwards and forwards in between the shivering and chanting bit.
Fox 4 Life Posted 31 October 2006 Posted 31 October 2006 Interesting article, he actually says flat out he is interested!! http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id...835&cc=5739 Former Portsmouth chairman Milan Mandaric has rejected suggestions that his plans to take over Leicester are a betrayal of his Pompey roots. Mandaric is preparing a £25million takeover of the Championship club and that his led to criticism from Portsmouth fans that it is too soon after he left Fratton Park. But the Serb-American businessman - in charge of Pompey for seven and a half years before being bought out by Alexandre Gaydamak - believes he should be free to invest his money where he chooses. Mandaric told the Portsmouth News: 'I always promised I would never leave Pompey in trouble, like when they were in danger of relegation from the old First Division. 'Instead I left Pompey in tremendous shape, near the top of the Premiership. 'I've helped put the club on the map. I get happier about that with every additional three points Pompey get. 'I didn't need to sell the club, but thought it was in the best interest of the club to do so. 'If I go to Leicester, supporters should be happy for me that I'm alive and still in football, rather than disappearing off to America or Slovenia and not being heard of again. I'm not ready to retire. 'If I go to Leicester, it's not to a club that is an unfriendly one to us. But whether I go to Leicester or Barcelona, Pompey will always be special in my heart. I might fall in love again, but nothing will replace Pompey. 'It was an unbelievable relationship. We went through some hard times together and had tears on our faces. But it brought us closer together. We've got fantastic memories. 'I might develop another good relationship, but nothing will ever replace the one I developed with Pompey fans. We will always be friends. 'I've had a lots of letters from Pompey fans wishing me all the best and saying what I did for the club was immeasurable. That's fantastic.'
lookwhaticando Posted 31 October 2006 Posted 31 October 2006 Posted on page 9 or 10 from a different source. The fact that he's telling Pompey fans it's not a betrayal does indeed indicate his interest is more than just a passing interest.
Ultra Posted 31 October 2006 Posted 31 October 2006 Maybe Gary just wants his 100k back now that his ex-Mrs wants all his money... allegedly. That'd be right. Divorce settlements can be very expensive these days..
Thracian Posted 31 October 2006 Posted 31 October 2006 That'd be right. Divorce settlements can be very expensive these days.. Marriage is so risky now it's a wonder it's not been banned under Health and Safety legislation.

The above explains why most mature, intelligent fans will NEVER accept Mandaric in charge of our club. We're not prepared to settle for being sloppy seconds.
The Don Posted 31 October 2006 Posted 31 October 2006 Marriage is so risky now it's a wonder it's not been banned under Health and Safety legislation. And imagine the disgust of the women wearing veils??

lookwhaticando Posted 31 October 2006 Posted 31 October 2006 Marriage is so risky now it's a wonder it's not been banned under Health and Safety legislation. There's nowhere to hide these days... if you're going to get married, it's gonna cost you half your worth little more than 5 years down the line. Makes you wonder why people bother getting married any more.
Steven Posted 31 October 2006 Posted 31 October 2006 There are rumours on another forum that two sets of interested parties are doing Due Diligence.

We're not prepared to settle for being sloppy seconds. ADMIT IT....you seem to be fighting a losing battle, your voice is getting louder, yet weaker.... I admire your commitment to your cause, but its time to admit defeat, the fact that you allude to the fact that all those who favour his investment are neither mature or intelligence is just asign that you are acting in the more childish manner... lets all have a disco!!
Brummie-FOX Posted 31 October 2006 Posted 31 October 2006 I want him to come But its disappointing to hear that he'll love Pompey more than anyone else. I know he's been there a long time and did a lot, but then again..

I know he's been there a long time and did a lot, but then again.. its a bit like your first girlfriend though, she wont turn out to be your wife in most cases but no matter how bad things were you have a soft spot for her.... its just P.R spin for the pompey fans.... Anyway ... I dont want his love,just his cash and business savvy!

Brummie-FOX Posted 31 October 2006 Posted 31 October 2006 We know about Mandaric, but what about the 3 other alleged millionaires [presumably] that want to invest? I hear that 1 is local and the others from America. Anyone got any information?
DannyLCFC1 Posted 31 October 2006 Posted 31 October 2006 According to radio leicester there was a bid placed at 9 o clock this morning didn't say who from tho

I suspect from my contacts at the club that THEY share my doubts about Mandy. In the end, their views, rather than those on here will be the ones that matter.
Daggers Posted 1 November 2006 Posted 1 November 2006 I suspect from my contacts at the club that THEY share my doubts about Mandy. In the end, their views, rather than those on here will be the ones that matter. You really are a pompous little ass aren't you. How dare you post opinions across threads making out that yours is the only mature intelligent perspective on these matters and everyone else is a dumb child bouncing up and down with expectant excitement.
Daggers Posted 1 November 2006 Posted 1 November 2006 According to radio leicester there was a bid placed at 9 o clock this morning didn't say who from tho It was repeated twice, the bid was posted at 9 o'clock this morning and the source was the board. The board meeting held before the game discussed the offer and the alternatives. To date, the only alternative seems to be financial restructuring as no other firm interest has been expressed. It is believed that the board meeting agreed to allow Mandaric to sign a non-disclosure agreement so that his representatives may inspect the financial records of the club. A statement from the club is expected Wednesday morning.

Fortunatley we don't care what the ticket office workers and the geezer who sweeps the concorse think about Milan Madarics take over. And the ticket office girls don't talk to you because they like you, it's because they feel sorry for you.

blue blood Posted 1 November 2006 Posted 1 November 2006 Just a few coments, Firstly Milan tabled a £25m bid yesterday. 1 of the other consortiums are an american firm but they are thought to be time wasters and are not being taken seriously. The third interested party that is being taken seriously is a bid from the Leicester Tigers (no bids on the table yet) We should be taken over today or tomorrow. I think we should not pussyfoot around or we will be in danger of loosing the Milan bid.
Steven Posted 1 November 2006 Posted 1 November 2006 I suspect from my contacts at the club that THEY share my doubts about Mandy. In the end, their views, rather than those on here will be the ones that matter. You are painting yourself into a corner.
Surreal Madrid Posted 1 November 2006 Posted 1 November 2006 We should be taken over today or tomorrow. Don't think so - due diligence can take up to three weeks, plus any bids that the board think are OK have to be put to the shareholders, normally 21 days' notice. Plus if the board have any sense ( and I suspect they have ), it would be worth not rushing headlong into the first bid, and try to get some more bids out of the woodwork.
