The F.A. and it's position on the take over.

A statement from the F.A. sent to MYPOMPEY.COM

We wrote to the League and explained the plight of the fans and asked them to comment on the situation with Al Fahim and the takeover. Their response follows.


Premier League Statement. 1:14 p.m. August 10th

All we have had thus far from PFC/Al Fahim is the Fit and Proper Persons Test declaration, after which we made the statement you refer to. It's a very specific test relating to the individual only and not to any other aspects of the proposed purchase.

When PFC and Mr Al Fahim are ready to progress the proposed purchase clearly we will require further information - including the provenance of the money financing the deal, whether there are any other investors (anyone with a 10% a more stake would have to publicly declare, anyone with 30% or more would be subject to the FAPPT as would any proposed directors or shadow directors) - however we are awaiting developments and will act accordingly, as and when something moves, to ensure that our Rule Book is applied.

I hope this gives you some clarity regarding our position.

Make of that what you will.
