Al Fahim resigns in Pompey boardroom bust-up

Again it can be seen that our (Arab) money is not welcome abroad, and every move to support the club financially by the Chairman is met with opposition. I hope in future fellow Arabs will think to invest closer to home where it might be more appreciated.

Sir, might I suggest you get your PR person to look at your posts, before you hit the button.

Its incredible that on one main news website it says that the portsmouth board is unaware of what Fahim's plans are and then a few thousand miles away, the chairman resigns..Looks like all these technological developments have not made this place a smaller place after all...!! I dont know whether Portsmouth should be happy about this or not. All I care is that this wonderful club, with its great fans stays afloat in the PL... A Prayer from a Gooner!

@Brit Happy... Accepted Due diligence is quite a phenomenon survival.. But that is just in the books where numbers are kept straight..while on the other side where workers and employees matter, those grey areas could be blacked out with illegal internal precipitous unions which might be working against the higher ups. Some management issue should be researched here in this case by University students. Indeed some drama has happened around this case which imploded..

@Kaptain - if a Chairman doesn't know what is going on in the businesses which he oversees, then he has no business being the chairman. Due diligence - ever heard of it - Mr. Al Fahim would surely have been made fully aware of the company's position before he bought it, and subsequently sold it. Part of being a chairman means the buck stops there.
