#Pompey - The Story Of Portsmouth FC As Told On Twitter - September 2012

Introduction
If you've been following this blog you will recall that I thought it would be interesting to track the story of Portsmouth FC during 2012 on a day-to-day basis through those tweeting using the hashtag #Pompey.

When I started on January 1st 2012 it seemed like quite a good idea - but I wasn't sure if I would be able to see it through the month let alone the year!

Well, the story continues and it's time to move on to the tweets from September. Enjoy.

I've changed my approach to this since the start with such a rich vein of tweets on the #Pompey timeline. Originally I planned to pick a few tweets each day but I quickly changed that as the story unfolded.

@pn_neil_allen So Antonov pops up blaming others, Al Fahim still not taken over 21 days on and Chainrai lurking. Will #Pompey ever be free of these ghosts?

27/09/2012
@pn_neil_allen 'Should FL deem them inappropriate owners or lay conditions that alter Portpin desire to own club then Trust bid remains on table' #Pompey

@NabilHassan79 #Pompey Supporters' Trust have finally accepted they are not PKF's 'preferred bidder'. Only Football League can save them and stop Portpin.

@pompeylive #Pompey Pompey fans’ legal team questions Portpin suitability http://ow.ly/2smpJU

@solentsport Chanrai also said his firm Portpin was the only bidder for the club with the "experience and money needed to return #pompey to its glories".
@solentsport #pompey Balram Chainrai has dismissed the Portsmouth Supporters Trust bid for the club as having "no substance".

24/09/2012

@Matt_Smith78 I can only assume the community bid does not have enough financial clout behind it to satisfy the administrator and the FL. #Pompey

@joemichalczuk And before some Pompey fans panic - it's simply 'word on the street' - and believe me #pompey streets are as large as the English dictionary

@kellilee21 Think some fellow #Pompey fans need to take a breath before they Burst a blood vessel. #PTID

@GemmaHayter People who choose to boycott #pompey.. Why don't you jog on 20 miles along the motorway and join them! #plasticfans

@alexread11 #PompeyFamily need to be United now. Different opinions aren't a bad thing. Love #Pompey

@joemichalczuk Portpin tonight/tomorrow morning is the 'word on the street' - meetings with PKF Friday and today.... #Pompey

@willhuck Getting so fed up of Mondays at work and having to answer that horrible question, "How did Portsmouth get on at the weekend?" #pompey #pfc

@Lord_Palmerston One of Chainrai's aims well on way to being achieved - #Pompey fans fighting each other. Live & let live. Portpin not a done deal.

@TheBeautifGame #Pompey fans clearly frustrated at the on-going drama occurring. Hopefully something will get sorted soon, fans deserve better.

@ptid1976 @colinfarmery Worry comes cos nobody is telling us anything useful. If you say News story is wrong, that'll calm things down? #Pompey
@colinfarmery Can I ask that Pompey fans keep calm. There is a huge amount going on in front and behind the scenes. Let all parties do their jobs. #PUP

@pn_neil_allen Nothing official yet but it appears Portpin have got the nod from PKF for #Pompey ownership. http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-past/trust-not-preferred-bidders-for-pompey-1-4295383 …

@solentsport @solentsport understand #pompey administrators PKF currently favouring Portpin bid, to the exclusion of Pompey Supp. Trust.

@PfcBrad So will today be the day that Birch makes a decision ? #Pompey #PUP

23/09/2012
@gar78 Because as sure as night follows day, Portpin getting #Pompey again will see us back in administration within 3 years. #DoTheRightThingTrev
@gar78 If Trevor Birch gives #Pompey to Portpin, what will he have to say for himself when they break their pledges and put us into admin again?

@tomdearie Loving how if you question the team or manager in any way you're not a true supporter! Maybe just not happy to accept mediocrity.. #pompey

22/09/2012
@PfcBrad Getting annoyed at poor #Pompey performances. The players we have should be performing better regardless of the off field problems #PUP

@NabilHassan79 Appleton also reveals that first-team coach Ashley Westwood lost his father on Friday. He was also a close friend of Appleton's. #pompey
@NabilHassan79 #pompey boss Michael Appleton: "Heads are dropping because of issues we cannot control but we will not start feeling sorry for ourselves."

@andymason87 Its not the players or managers who let #pompey down its the boardrooms shocking financial management over the years which is why we're here

@TomJerram #pompey fans need to stop the 'happy to be here' tactic now when we loose. We are here, and we need to win quickly or it will be hello L2!

@benboylin We need more fight an passion the players that we've got should be performing better than this #Pompey

@FosterAdrian Shocking today. No passion and no commitment. Players are better than that! #pompey

@alexread11 I love my club. But this is quite simply not good enough lads. Effort and passion required. #Pompey

@CameronRestall Once we finally get an owner and get our club sorted, maybe then we can seriously think about moving up the table. #Pompey

@FrattonFaithful FT #ncfc 3 #pompey 0 - We had nothing and defended like a pub team yet again. Sort it out Appleton, you are not exempt from criticism.

@SjMaskell #Pompey Thought for the day: Don't for one minute think that what you can see is happening is ALL that's happening.

@real_wilky Must keep remembering, I'm lucky to have a team to support at all, and it's very early in the season for our bunch of misfits. #pompey

15/09/2012
@SamSingletonPFC We didn't play well but Walsall are a good side. Well drilled and more balanced. You don't just pick up 11 freebies and win games #pompey

@joshiocolezio Can't believe people are having a pop at Appleton. We weren't good enough today, and Walsall were better than us. Simple as that. #Pompey

@NabilHassan79 #pompey Michael Appleton on search for new owners: "It's been dragging on now. There's been so many deadlines I don't know where we are."

@NabilHassan79 #pompey manager Michael Appleton tells @solentsport he has two options for a new striker but is unsure of which choice to make.

@Supermum0239PFC I agree that McLeod isn't a pretty player but he's scored 3 in 6....on target to get 20. He's doing what he's paid to do! #Pompey

@ABCheatle Another frustrating #pompey performance. There's not much quality to be frank. The strikeforce looks blunt.

@redtrainers Ale! Solace in ale! #pompey

@FrattonFaithful FT #pompey 1 #walsall 2 - Outplayed and out-thought by a better team. Sloppy passing was key to our downfall. Hit on the break too often.

@Pompey_Royal Well that performance and crowd could well have Portpin considering another withdrawal. One can but hope. #pompey

@officialpompey #Pompey still waiting for a first home victory in the league after losing 2-1 to Walsall: http://tinyurl.com/8sqj4nd

@officialpompey Full time: #Pompey 1 Walsall 2
@officialpompey From the resulting corner the ball finds McLeod who swivels and fires an unstoppable shot past Grof into the top corner. Game on. #Pompey

@PompeyChicken #Pompey vs #WalsallFC Pompey have named seven substitutes today, I believe that's the first time this season.

@officialpompey #Pompey subs: Eastwood, Webster, Michalik, Ertl, Clifford, Walker, Compton
@officialpompey #Pompey team v Walsall: Andersen; Dumbuya, Thompson, Long, Harley; Williamson, Russell, Howard (c), Harris; Rodgers, McLeod

@MatBrett I am confident that creditors will back the bid. Voting in favour of not being in this position again and being a part of a legacy #pompey

@Pompey_Royal @football_league Pl remember that Portpin have already taken #pompey into admin twice. Players get banned for much less. Time for the Trust.

14/09/2012
@pn_neil_allen Hearing #Pompey ownership situation now could be decided early next week. Seems FL holding up things; it's not PKF trying to get more money!

@Pompey_Royal At this rate I'm going to earn enough interest on my share money to buy a couple of extra ones! #pompey

@solentsport #pompey administrators give #pst & Portpin more time to complete a deal & reach agreement with Football League. PKF think both bids capable

@alex_crook Call me a synic but as the longer #pompey stay in admin the more the administrators charge is it not in their interests to extend deadlines?

@pompeylive #Pompey Defender joins Pompey - POMPEY have completed the signing of Slovakian centre-back Lubomir Michalik. http://ow.ly/1ms3GH

@pn_neil_allen #Pompey Trust bid in. PKF state neither they or Portpin ready to complete. Deadline extended. (link fixed). http://ow.ly/dIQDQ

@BernardSincere DEADLINE EXTENDED on the #Pompey takeover. I'm as shocked as you are.

@solentsport The #pompey supporters trust expect to have their bid for the club submitted by late afternoon

@Lord_Palmerston Good luck to the #Pompey Trust, good luck to any other bidder we don't know about who has money. Decision today though? I'd be surprised.

@HarryH73 Im not expecting a new owner announced today at #Pompey I maybe wrong but isnt it just the final day for bids? another week or 2 to choose ?

@Supermum0239PFC Whoever is chosen, stop the silly boycott talk! #Pompey

@MaxyBoyPFC How amazing would it be to say we the fans have the largest fan/community run football club in England! #OurClub #TrustTheTrust #Pompey

@pompeygeoff Today is going to be a very long day #pompey #pompeytrust #notochainrai

@bobbeech By the end of today will either be an exciting brand new start for #Pompey or the continuation of a very old fight #BackTheTrust

@iepeach Whatever happens from today - be proud. Not been easy & we've done well to come so far #FF @mickwill @AshBeen23 @slowhandtrap #Pompey

13/09/2012
@MaxyBoyPFC Good luck to the @pompeytrust tomorrow! Thank you for your time put in, efforts and drive. Amazing! #pup #pompey

@CrossvaderDJ Surprise surprise, Fahim fails to deliver the goods. AGAIN. Why waste everyone's time!? I have a really bad feeling about tomorrow. #pompey

@Lord_Palmerston Al Fahim can't get his money in the UK before Tuesday. Was never a credible figure, just wasted our time again. Irresponsible. #Pompey

@andybsei @TheRealSulaiman what a surprise! You've had months and come out of the woodwork with less than a week to go? You're no #Pompey fan.
@TheRealSulaiman Good luck to PST. we can't be ready by Trevor Birch deadline. Our account will be open next Tuesday in UK banks

@portsea67 So today was the day that @TheRealSulaiman was going to reveal his proposals. Did I miss anything material? Thought not #Pompey #PST

@pn_Rory_McKeown Portpin say their bid was lodged on September 4 to show how 'serious' they are about owning #Pompey again: http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-past/portpin-submit-bid-for-pompey-ahead-of-deadline-1-4261102 …

@pn_Rory_McKeown I can confirm, as of 5pm, PKF have still yet to receive clarification of funds from Middle East consortium #Pompey

@solentsport #Pompey have also extended the month to month contracts of all short-term players. That doesn't include loanees, will be done separately

@solentsport #Pompey boss Michael Appleton says he's close to recruiting a loan defender, but unlikely to be in time for Saturday's game v Walsall

@pn_jordan_cross Some thoughts on Sulaiman Al Fahim's re-emergence in #Pompey ownership saga http://goo.gl/MrBzR

@NabilHassan79 As of 10:00 BST today, #pompey administrators PKF are yet to see proof of funding or the existence of a UK bank account from Mr Al-Fahim.

@pn_neil_allen As said before, will reserve judgement on Al Fahim. Birch is the one he must convince - and he has 48 hrs left. http://ow.ly/1mqs9J #Pompey

@Pompey_Royal Another lifting of the lid on the surreal Sulaiman. Cracking read. “@dodgycurry: new #pompey blob bit http://portus-eg.blogspot.co.uk/ ”

@neilmeldrumecho #readingfc understood to have invited Harry Cornick of Christchurch to train with them, while #pompey said to have lodged 7 day approach.

@TomDubber1 If SAF is well meaning and has the backing, he can simply invest in a Trust-owned #Pompey. No need for private ownership. #CommunityClub

@pn_neil_allen Latest on Al Fahim #Pompey bid as of 4.20pm. Administrators say they have still to see proof of funds or clarification of finances.

@sjs1956 #Pompey I wish being a Pompey fan was simple....

@adamjohnparker #AlFahim in 2009 "I can assure you that there is a plan in place ..that will bring £50m into the club over the next 3 to 4 weeks" #Pompey

@bobbeech Any #Pompey who was caught in Specks Lane crush V Spurs in the league cup will look at Hillsborough & think there but for the grace of God

@NabilHassan79 Anyway, away from Sulaiman Al Fahim, administrators says the #pompey supporters trust are on course to submit their bid by Friday's deadline

@NabilHassan79 Administrators of #pompey tell me they are still yet to see proof of funds from the Middle East 'consortium' interested in buying the club.

@pn_neil_allen Majority of #Pompey player deals expire Friday and Saturday. Appleton confident all will re-sign. http://m.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-past/appleton-confident-pompey-deals-will-be-renewed-1-4249304#.UFA-zHs29_g.twitter …


11/09/2012
@pn_jordan_cross Wouldn't compare @TheRealSulaiman to those who abused #Pompey for own gain, but given past the mantra for now has to be 'show us the money'.

@gdhawkes *sighs* @therealsulaiman pops up with more outlandish nonsense and #Pompey fans start debating again. FORGET IT. It really is #trustorbust

@tomc_1984 The more i read about whose taking over, whose not taking over, whose got money, who hasn't got money, the more boring its becomes. #pompey

@pompeylive #Pompey Al Fahim confirms he’s back with a bid to buy Pompey http://ow.ly/1mot5E

@RichardGillis1 Portsmouth owner Al Fahim: Is he all that he seems? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1217575/Portsmouth-owner-Al-Fahim-Is-seems.html … via my piece in @MailOnline #pompey #portsmouthfc

@solentsport Former #Pompey and #Saintsfc striker Ian Baird has been sacked as manager of @EastleighFC, the club have confirmed

@Lord_Palmerston As previously, main effect of al Fahim involvement is to leave everyone baffled. Trust bid still most drama-free way forward. #Pompey

@Supermum0239PFC It's NOT him! He's BROKERING the deal!!! #Pompey

@NabilHassan79 More on Sulaiman Al Fahim's potential return to #pompey here. Again worth noting would be a fall back option for PKF: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19543395 …
@NabilHassan79 #Pompey administrators confirm they have received a bid from a Middle Eastern consortium, thought to include former owner Sulaiman Al Fahim.

@MattPorter14 Arab group intrested in pompey!! Just hopings its all pukka and nothing to do with chanrai! Trust involement would be good! #Pompey

@Mikey_White_99 Why are there fans who don't even want to give this takeover bid a chance! Just by reading it I can tell It's better than PST's bid. #Pompey

@Bunkybowers If Chainrai was behind Al Mirage, surely this latest development must be viewed with a large degree of cynicism #Pompey

@beiderbecks All I want this week is for this #Pompey takeover to be the real deal. No big promises just clarity stability and above all honesty. Please?

@Ossenpfeffer I'd rather have a fan-owned club and spend next 5 years in League 1 than another shady takeover and fast-tracked back into the Prem #Pompey

@thepompeypaul Some folk want to buy #Pompey, they've got money so where's problem? Presume they do exist though, not fictitious again. No more Mirages

@HeyGeno Well Born & Co are clients of my company so I at least know they exist!! #pompey bid may be genuine!!!

@mark11s Whilst I'm not excited by the new bid I'm not willing to dismiss it out of hand either, even if SAF is involved. #pompey

@OscarBoothby Wow, I lose the internet for one day and #Pompey win 3-0 and there's a new buyer in the offing! I should move house more often.

@gar78 Also, we want names of those involved in consortium. No hiding in the shadows. We need to ensure they actually exist! #alMirage #Pompey

@AstorSonnen Never really know what to think when I see anyone linked with buying #pompey. At least we're getting some news on that front.

@gar78 Can we be sure that this Middle East consortium isn't just another Chainrai vehicle? Timing seems suspicious #Pompey

@Pompey_Royal Further details on latest #pompey bid now online at http://www.arabianbusiness.com/revealed-offer-letter-for-20m-portsmouth-fc-bid-472409.html …
@Pompey_Royal 2ndly if funds lodged 10 days ago worrying investors haven't spent that time talking to Trust. Fans HAVE to be involved this time. #pompey
@Pompey_Royal 2 things make me uncomfortable about this middle east bid for #pompey. Firstly the secrecy about who is involved. Why not be open & honest?
