Tom Lever, a 21 year-old former student and ‘reality TV star’, has launched an audacious bid to buy debt-ridden Portsmouth Football Club.
Lever appeared in MTV reality TV show ‘Living on the Edge’ which followed the lives of wealthy Cheshire teens. The son of a former Conservative MP says he has offered the club’s owner Balram Chainrai £16.2 million to take over.
Andrew Andronikou, administrator at Pompey, has raised doubts about Lever’s ability to come up with the funds needed for the deal. Lever is listed as a director of Paint , an events conpany.
“The financing deal will be in the best interest of the club. It will be a loan at a very competitive rate that the club can afford,’ Lever said. ‘I am not going to talk about my personal wealth or what I might put in, but I have been able to put this financing together because of who I know and what I know.”
