Ken Tone Posted 30 May, 2012 Share Posted 30 May, 2012 What determines who is a football creditor? Clearly a player is..clearly another club is. I've heard that agents are. (presumably if they are licensed) But I cannot see why a Chief Exec, or a director, should be a football creditor when someone who works at a club in a more lowly job apparently isn't.

It appears that he has made a claim as a staff member and that the FA have accepted the claim. That would have major implications for clubs trying to shed staff. According to Wiki (yeah, yeah - I know) - a football club creditor is a player, another club owed money, and staff and it implies it's ALL staff. Other short articles from various law firms either say it's just football staff (i.e. players, coaches, managers) or it's just 'staff'. I'm sure I read somewhere before that the ancilliary staff hadn't been paid last time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torres Posted 30 May, 2012 Share Posted 30 May, 2012 Presumably it's the difference in the type of employment contracts that "ordinary" staff have at football clubs that normally sees them fired with no/little severance that excludes them from payment under the FCR.

rallyboy Posted 30 May, 2012 Share Posted 30 May, 2012 should the fans accept some blame? Mandaric - paid over the odds on wages to get the club out of the championship, promised a new stadium but knocked down one shed, abandoned ship at first opportunity - made money from pompey. Child-maimer - pretended he wasn't the owner, paid crazy wages to win the cup, promised a new stadium, didn't sell enough landmines and legged it. Storrie - gave out ridiculous contracts, oversaw the biggest train crash in football history, thought the Harbourdome was a good idea, approved several dodgy owners, did quite nicely thank you. Al Fahim - self promoted, spouted rubbish, looked silly, achieved zero. Al Faraj - failed to exist - so fairly blameless in the scheme of things. Redknapp - paid out crazy wages, signed an unusually high number of players, made a fortune from pompey and abandoned them, twice. Grant - was paid a huge amount to halt the decline but instead ran around the wreckage of the train crash shooting survivors, made an awful speech, dragged the club out of the big time forvever, and laid the foundations for a second relegation. Cotterill - paid crazy wages, launched a suicidal transfer policy, was shown up as a poor coach, got very well paid and abandoned ship. Chanrai - lent money to a desperate client, kept the patient on a life support for his own personal gain, has no interest in football let alone pompey. Antonov - paid crazy wages, used 'borrowed' money to fund shortfall, did terminal cashflow damage to the business. Lampitt - paid crazy wages, took crazy wages, failed to address obvious insolvency, sanctioned a suicidal transfer policy, was shown up as a VERY poor CEO, directed the club towards League One. Appleton - decided to join a train crash, failed to motivate players, managed to lead one of the highest paid team's straight out of the Championship at the first attempt. And what do these characters have in common?.... At one time or other they have ALL been heralded as heroes by the park-packing, plucky bestest fratton few... With the spin and a vague grasp of reality these guys have all been lorded as true blue greats or club saviours, yet the majority have been quite poor in their roles, have taken a fortune out of the club, and have moved on without looking back - unless they needed more cash out of the carcass. Legends indeed. And that's one reason to have little sympathy with people who can't tell the difference between a relegation-loving prossie-botherer, a money-laundering crook, or a perfectly respectable businessman. Appy is the only one still waiting for the actual facts to emerge, the new fixture list might be the catalyst for his status to change from hero to average coach. if he is so good, how come we're playing Hartlepool, Crawley and Stevenage?...

There is a very strong chance they wont start in L1 due to liquidation, or any other FL decision made in a meeting which is yet to occur, and there is a very strong possibility of a further penalty for failing to adhere to CVA1, or for failing to exit the current admin with a CVA..... and this is if they can convince the FL that they can even complete the season.

Winchester Red Posted 30 May, 2012 Share Posted 30 May, 2012 So when they finally agree a new CVA (if) then the FL will be able to say you've not abided by your originally CVA and therefore, points penalty Until such a time, no points penalty can be applied. Even though TB has confirmed the old CVA is dead in the water, legally it isn't as the payment dates haven't been terminally missed (because of AA's small print) and it hasn't been superseded yet by a new CVA Correct?

Frank's cousin Posted 30 May, 2012 Share Posted 30 May, 2012 (edited) What about a penalty for diluting the failed 2010 CVA with a new 2012 CVA? Question to the Football League here... enquiries@football-league.co.uk You will get an auto reply to this saying nothing can be said until the situation becomes clear... so in the meantime what we do know is: 1. Just by still being in Admin, if they are not liquidated and as long as they still have their golden share their will be no addditional points penalty 2. Should they exit admin at any time without a CVA in place a further points penalty will be applied next season 3. Ambiguity still exists over the the simple fact that they have not yet paid a penny towards the 2010 CVA. If the 2010 creditors agree to the 2012 CVA then it will be argued that the 2010 CVA has NOT failed and so no further action would be possible. If the 2010 creditors do NOT agree to the new 2012 CVA then its likely that 2012 CVA will not be possible and see point 2. 4. If 2012 CVA IS approved even if 2010 CVA creditors vote against it (because Chinney holds the aces) then it could be argued that 2010 CVA has failed - BUT it all likelhood will not be classified as such by the FL as the 2012 CVA has in effect superceeded it and depsite teh 2010 creditors having been shafted again, I doubt there is a legal way in which any sanction could be imposed within the current FL rules. Confused? Yep FL rules ineffective and unjust? Yep Pompey getting away with it? Yep Public know the truth about the fact they have not paid a single penny to CVA 2010? Nope Media highlighting this fact? Nope FL likely to close the loophole to avoid this happening again? Yep, but likely too late to catch the TDCSBs out..... That ladies and Gentleman is the grim and unjust reality IMHO..... but i have emailed the FL to attempt further clarification....

Doctoroncall Posted 30 May, 2012 Share Posted 30 May, 2012 So when they finally agree a new CVA (if) then the FL will be able to say you've not abided by your originally CVA and therefore, points penalty Until such a time, no points penalty can be applied. Even though TB has confirmed the old CVA is dead in the water, legally it isn't as the payment dates haven't been terminally missed (because of AA's small print) and it hasn't been superseded yet by a new CVA Correct? Yes, although your first part is open to debate which will see if the FL have the balls to say it's a penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 30 May, 2012 Share Posted 30 May, 2012 What did you ask? And what did he say? FM Saints Researcher @MatthewLeGod @bigadamsport Adam, why didn't you ask Trevor Birch about the possible penalty 4 diluting of the 2010 CVA with a new CVA? Adam Blackmore @bigadamsport @MatthewLeGod I don't know if the League has a penalty ruling for it -unless you are?This decision was not an exception to the FL rules FM Saints Researcher @MatthewLeGod @bigadamsport The FL would be setting a dangerous precedent if it doesn't act. Otherwise clubs can offload huge debts with little punishment Adam Blackmore @bigadamsport @MatthewLeGod I don't know the answer. But your point seems valid about CVA's in general FM Saints Researcher @MatthewLeGod @bigadamsport Club A doesn't agree a CVA, Club B says we'll pay 20p in £ but then doesn't. Club A gets punished but club B doesn't. Seems wrong FM Saints Researcher @MatthewLeGod @bigadamsport Would be interesting to hear what TB or FL thought of the subject. Will u speak to Birch again soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
