Given that they are deferring wages... how is it possible that teh club has 'enough money' to get them to June, when waht he is saying is that the footballing debt is increasng, but feck you lot as they get paid first... although I guess if liquidated, then football crditors rule does not apply as no golden shre required?

Wish someone would ask when a deal would have to be sorted by such that an undertaking could be given to the league on the 2nd that they could complete their fixtures for next season?

 

Ys bit that's not really the issue for creditors is it? More for fans. Most creditors want their money , not a live football club.

Will anything be decided at this meeting or is it just to review progress and report back to creditors?

 

There will be a vote cast by the creditors to accept or decline the administrator's proposal.

 

This will be a xx pence in the pound, and I'll keep going and try to find the new buyer, or liquidate now and I can't guarantee what the xx pence will be.

 

This is the vote that the administrator needs 75% of the creditors to agree on, so Chainrai holds a big stake. HMRC holds a little stake.

My feeling is that it will be the key decider about when Birch pushed the liquidize button. If say it will take 2 weeks for all the paperwork etc between a bid being submitted and being in a position to satisfy the league then if not bids 2 weeks before FL meeting then would surely have to pull the plug then rather than wait till the meeting?

If creditors vote for liquidation they will get a small percentage but at least they will get this in a defined timescale. If they accept a proposal they will be promised more but this will be dependent on a variety of events happening as forecast. Of course if these do not come to pass then they may find they receive less than the liquidated amount after a longer wait.

 

Just like last time.

 

The promise of an additional sum doesnt mean that creditors wont vote for liquidation.

Really depends on if they've learned their lesson from last time...

I bet a lot of them want to but wont. If they are Pompey area based it would hurt their business to be known as a company that liquidated the local football club.

pn_Rory_McKeown: Debate over HMRC amendment to proposals. Proposal is CVA followed by liquidation of old co and then an investigation. #pcm2012 #Pompey [via Twitter]

 

 

I thought they did this last time, but we never saw the outcome of the forensic investigation into old co? Or did it never happen?

 

It is pointless going for a CVA as the last one bore no fruit. If I were I creditor I would have CVA as my last option.

By oldco I assume they mean newco as opposed to oldco that went into liquidation last time.

 

Confused? You will be.

Well that is annoying as it means that hmrc will agree to a Cva and no more points deductions.

 

I think thats down to HMRC's new approach. Agressivly voting against a cva in the past has got them no-where. Investigation via Liquidation of old company could return them with money or someone to blame and string up.

 

If creditors vote against the liquidation then HMRC will vote against the CVA. All comes down to how much power they have over that decission I guess?

They may still get points deductions in League One for the collapse of the 2010 CVA. They will be diluting the 2010 CVA with a 2012 CVA, which amounts to the same as not agreeing a CVA in 2010, which would have received a huge points deduction.
