Its Guinness time any day of the week.
The man who owned Portsmouth for six weeks during an ill-fated spell in 2009 has been sentenced to five years in a United Arab Emirates jail for stealing £5m from his wife to fund the purchase.

Sulaiman Al Fahim, who also fronted the Abu Dhabi United Group's deal to buy Manchester City in 2008, was found guilty of forgery, using forged documents and aiding and abetting.

He and an accomplice were found to have stolen the money used to buy Pompey from Sacha Gaydamak, with Al Fahim soon selling the club to Ali Al Faraj.

Al Fahim, 42, did not attend the hearing and was sentenced in his absence.

Prosecutors said that Al Fahim's wife discovered the money was missing after the returns she had expected from a high interest rate account she opened in 2009 did not come in.

Knew he was a wrong un.
 
Given how slick CFG are and ADUG were, it's still surprising that this charlatan was allowed anywhere near it during the takeover. It's unusually...inept.

Everything since has proved me wrong but at the time when i saw this joker i can remember saying " oh fcuk, it's worse than Shinawatra"
 
Can’t believe this bloke was connected to Sheikh Mansour. What possessed him to have dealings with someone like this? Doesn’t seem to fit in with anything that he styles himself as at all.

Doubt he broadcast any of his forgery, aiding or abetting to anyone, certainly not the Sheiks people as the employer is the one who should be most wary of him thieving.
