Portsmouth ‘taken over’ for fourth time
Scott Rutherford

Portsmouth are believed to be under their fourth owner this season after Balram Chainrai, a Hong Kong businessman, was reported to have seized control of the club.

Chainrai had loaned the club £15 million to keep them afloat, but is frustrated by their failure to make repayments. The loans were secured against the Fratton Park stadium, future television revenue and the 90 per cent shareholding of Ali al-Faraj. After the latest deadlines were missed, Chainrai’s company, Portpin, is believed to have taken over al-Faraj’s shareholding.

“Portpin have made substantial loans to Portsmouth to try to ensure the club’s future,” Chainrai said. “Portpin will now continue to work for the best interests of the club.”

Chainrai is believed to have been waiting for a substantial sum from the £7 million of television revenue from the Premier League. However, that money was used by the League to pay clubs owed money from transfer deals.

Alexandre Gaydamak sold Portsmouth last summer to Sulaiman al-Fahim, a Dubai investor. He then sold 90 per cent of his stake to al-Faraj in October. The Saudi businessman has failed to halt the financial meltdown, with Portsmouth facing administration and fighting a winding-up petition by Revenue & Customs.



熱刺:"羅神 i am waiting u"

　中評社北京2月4日電／據英國《衛報》報道，印度裔的香港商人巴爾拉姆-錢禮（Balram Chainrai）已經成功擁有了樸茨茅斯90%的股份，他也成為繼楊家誠之後第二位入主英超的港商。而對於水深火熱的龐貝軍團來說，這已經是他們一年內迎來的第4位老板。

　　2006年法籍俄羅斯富翁亞歷山大-蓋德馬克收購樸茨茅斯，去年5月，曾牽頭收購曼城的阿布扎比集團CEO蘇萊曼-阿爾法希姆以個人名義收購了龐貝軍團，但僅僅40天後，他就將90%的股權轉讓給沙特商人阿爾-法拉治。在如此頻繁的高層動蕩中，經濟拮據的樸茨茅斯不但入不敷出拖欠球員工資和轉會費，球隊成績也一落千丈，目前他們在排名榜上積分墊底保級堪虞。

　　根據《衛報》的報道，港商錢禮與法拉治本來是生意夥伴，兩人聯合建立了一家名為Portpin的公司。賽季初為了幫球隊度過經濟危機，法拉治曾向錢禮借了1700萬鎊，當時他用球場、未來電視轉播收益和自己名下90%的股權作為抵押。但由於球隊財政危機越來越嚴重，法拉治根本無力償還這 1700萬鎊。在多次委派律師催款未果後，錢禮根據當初的抵押協議拿走了法拉治90%的俱樂部股權，這樣“債轉權”的他一下子成為球隊的最大股東和老板。

　　錢禮在接受《衛報》採訪時表示：“為了幫樸茨茅斯俱樂部保住未來，Portpin借了大量的錢給他們，現在我們也將首先考慮俱樂部的利益。” 該報表示，錢禮首先將任命兩位親信進入球隊的董事會，不過他並沒有打算自掏腰包為龐貝償還債務，這位精明的港商目前正在積極尋找對俱樂部有意的新投資者。

　　收購伯明翰讓楊家誠成為英超賽場的首位香港老板，但從目前來看，錢禮並不想效仿楊家誠來經營球隊，他主要目的還是取回當初法拉治借走的 1700萬鎊，當然如果通過出售俱樂部股權能多賺一些更好。不過由於樸茨茅斯保級只剩理論上的可能，錢禮想要找到新的買家也並不容易，這家一度被看作“切爾西第二”的軍港球隊很可能會就此沉淪。
