70 Day exclusivity period...
Ok.
Not entirely certain what that means but I am reassured that those that represent us have engaged Trevor Birch who is the one administrator to come out of the years of mismanagement with any credit whatsoever.
Has anyone else been involved in a similar exclusivity period, preferred bidder scenario?
Did we have this with any previous takeovers? I seem to recall Gregory buying from Deacon dragged on a bit after being revealed by the Snooze.
Also not sure at what stage the FA or EFL will want to know about what we are up to as a club, they will not want Fan ownership to be seen as failing, nor will they want Pompey to fall in to Administration in the space of living memory.
Perhaps "Doing a Portsmouth" will in future refer to saving your club rather than financially ruining it..?

I'm pretty sure that Sillyman Al Fahim had a period of exclusivity, when trying to buy us from Gaydamak.Far Post Brisley wrote:Ok.

In practice it means zilch, really, it just means that we guarantee not to sell to any of the rest of the hordes of people clamouring to buy us. It probably also means that we aren't allowed to talk to anyone else about the possibility of buying us.

Oh and what about the FA's fit and proper person test? I bet they'll give him a really tough time, just as they did to protect us from evil in the past

If it has been written by American lawyers it will be tighter than a ducks porthole. I personally can't see anything coming out of this other than the sale to him which I think I would like to see as the trust has done a excellent job but we have reached the peak of what I believe they can achieve with us. To go any further the club needs investment in training facilities, academy and a new/refurbished ground.Locky_McLockface wrote:I'm pretty sure that Sillyman Al Fahim had a period of exclusivity, when trying to buy us from Gaydamak.Far Post Brisley wrote:Ok.

Re: 70 Day exclusivity period...
Think of it as if you were buying a house - in this case Pompey have agreed not to sell, market or show anyone else around the house for a period of 70 days. In that period the potential buyers will do all the searches they need and check the title deeds and then decide to make a firm offer to buy the place ...... or not. The period of 70 days can be extended if both parties agree.Far Post Brisley wrote:Ok.
