Pompey administrator Andronikou raps crisis club's prospective owners
The group aiming to become the fifth owner of Portsmouth this season has been criticised by the Fratton Park administrator. The South African consortium's spokesman Rob Lloyd, a property developer from Cheshire, met Pompey supporters' groups yesterday to outline details of a £3million offer to be lodged today for an exclusive two weeks of talks aimed at buying the club. But Andrew Andronikou, the administrator currently working to solve the club's £70m debt crisis, insisted: 'I have never heard of this man. And I find it peculiar that he should be talking to the fans because he has not even got off 'Go' yet. In control: Andrew Andronikou 'I will not be talking to anyone about buying Portsmouth until I have seen proof of funding.' Lloyd, 46, has had money problems himself, having to refinance his Eatonfield Property Group last year over a £900,000 debt, but said it will not affect the Pompey bid. 'This offer for Portsmouth has nothing to do with Eatonfield,' he added. Ploughing on: Portsmouth continue to battle on through their crisis-ridden season'I represent a very wealthy investor who is interested in buying the club. We'll open negotiations for a £3m exclusivity period when we can conduct due diligence of the club's finances.'
