BBC Sport - David Lampitt 'gutted' by Portsmouth crisis

Portsmouth's chief executive David Lampitt says he has been left "gutted" by the club's latest financial crisis. Pompey's parent company, Convers Sport Initiatives entered administration in November, forcing the Championship club to search for new owners. Administrators says the club are close to naming new owners with Italian Joseph Cala among the front runners.





Giuseppe "Joe" Cala is involved with a company called "Undersea" that runs ships - "a new ocean leisure concept incorporating the elegance of a luxury undersea atmosphere habitat". With today's news from the Mediterranean, he's chosen the right time to reveal himself.

Edit ... He doesn't actually run ships. He apparently has a business plan that says that, if he can borrow enough money, he'd like to own a ship. Me too.

He does have some experience in football, though. He got involved with Salernitana in Italy's Serie C. Three weeks later, they went bust.

Is it groundhog day?

Must be. I saw the thread title and wondered why someone had bounced an ancient thread.

 

[Surf's Up]

Its a Mafia front!

Either a) the information there is not correct, or b) the FA can't let him 'buy' the club.
Somehow though, it'll probably be c).

Well, some people are just fussy.

Prospective owner wants to float PFC on one of the American stock exchanges. That is the funniest thing I've heard all week. Did the guy ask HB&B to "tart up" his resumé

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Please, please let the Mafia guy take over Pompey

And don't go blaming the FA, you tools, PFC can quite easily refuse money if they don't think it's legitimate.

My God, we are so lucky.

I heard a rumour it was going to be Azil Nadir (sp?) the man from Delmonte

 

[CHAPPERS]

I wonder how big Mr Andronikou's bung is going to be for this one.

f*** Pompey, I hope they shrivel up and die.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

That Pompey Fans 'article' is either horrendous / glorious reading depending upon your perspective. Nothing will doom them quicker than another timewaster in charge.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

I heard a rumour it was going to be Azil Nadir (sp?) the man from Delmonte

He said No.

 

[Vicar!]

Hmm so what does come after frying pan and fire then. Methinks the extinguisher.
I have heard George Reynolds will looking for a new club shortly.

Sadly, the Sicilian timewaster has withdrawn his bid. It would have been hilarious. What worries me is that I hear David Dein may be connected with a prospective buyer, and he might be able to do something positive for them. Let's hope my sources are wrong ...
