Some ideas:
* Because he loves our city and admires it’s inhabitants ? Possible I suppose but I doubt he knew next to bugger all about either before Pompey popped up.
* For the real estate value to be realised ? No ! Fratton Park is just peanuts compared to hundreds of thousands of other opportunities
* To make a quick killing ? He’s already ruled that out
* Because he wants to hear “ There’s only one Michael Eisner” rolling down from the terraces ? Well he rarely attends so rule that out as well.
* Because he knows that football is fun, a source of joy and elation - sometimes jubilation, a chance to forget everyday issues ? Not particularly evident thus far.
* To save Pompey from going bust ? The fans had already achieved that
* To produce an attractive, entertaining footballing side ? I’m joking with this one
* To spend some of his c. $4 Billion having his own footballing fun ? Ha Ha !
* As an old guy’s vanity project ? At 80 ! Can’t think of anything more pointless when it’s about 15 hours away by jet (11 hours in the air and 4 hours of f*cking about, I do it frequently).
I’m sure I’m missing something - the real reason, any ideas ?
