Pompey Takeover Saga

I see the FL want an amendment should the CVA go through. Could well be except massive points penalty & transfer embargo maybe? Or NO golden share!

Maybe wishful thinking but I expect something like that from the FL.

Wouldn't that be a condition rather than an amendment?

I suspect that's exactly what it is. The same as they did with us. Accept our terms or you're out. Simple as.

Just imagine a few Saints fans getting together one evening in a pub and hatching a little plan. Pretty soon they had 500 mates and acquaintances on board. All 500 have pledged to the PST. What's going to happen to the bid when they withdraw their pledges? Sha la la la la la.......Still laughing?

 

ps bring back Tiger/Plan B. He's the best thing on the internet. Hilarious!

 

 

 

OK - who's winding them up today of all days??

On second thoughts UWS, you might have a point. Birch's CVA proposal (2.4) says:

 

One of the conditions of the offer is that the Club must propose a CVA that is approved by its creditors so that Portsmouth FC may be sold to the Purchaser without needing to rely on the Football League’s Insolvency Policy Exceptional Circumstances Route and risk suffering another points deduction next season, which is the likely penalty under this route and which would ultimately increase the chances of relegation from League One to League Two of The Football League. No further points deduction will be applied if this Proposal is approved by the requisite majority of Preferential Creditors and Unsecured Creditors.

 

That might be the bit the FL don't like.

Good to see. Diluting a CVA with a further CVA is as bad as not agreeing a CVA back in 2010 and should rightly be punished with points deductions or refusing the golden share completely.

Go Baker Tilly!

But if Baker Tilly are not on side as they are a major creditor in the new CVA. Then the new CVA will be dead in the water?

Or am I mistaken here, surely if they want the CVA approved, then they need Baker Tilly to vote for it?

But what are they ?

 

From what I can make out, I think the modifications were largely concerned with Portpin giving up any rights to exclusivity and to open the door for other bids to be considered, i.e. The Trust. I'm guessing Portpin were looking for some kind of exclusivity going forward in the original CVA wording....?

How was that passed. After expenses there will be nothing to give to the creditors so they get nothing anyway.

 

"Do you want to see your children again?"

 

Now how long do we wait before the FL roll over? Then how long do we wait until Appy spends millions on new signings?

I'm slightly confused by the outcome.....one minute Baker Tilly (representing OldCo and original creditors) seemed to be kicking up a fuss about CVA2 and yet, before you can say "turkeys voting for Christmas" they have approved Portpin's 2p in the £ CVA offer (albeit with the caveat that they can switch to approving a different CVA if one was to come along in the next 28 days).

 

So....bottom line....all creditors are 'happy' to take 2p in the £ (which is 20p of the original £) regardless of what happens next....

 

Sigh....

I was assuming one of the modifications must be to placate them?

So, the PFA (who were represented at the meeting) were happy to vote for a CVA proposal that requires the very players they represent to be emotionally blackmailed into giving up their rights to the majority of their wages (past, present and future)?

 

All very odd....

@pn_neil_allen: Birch again stressing Portpin bid conditional on player wages - as is the Trust. Absolutely crucial point. #PompeyCVA #Pompey

 

So all developments are irrelevant then given the players will want their agreed contracts paid. I'd be checking my wheelnuts if I were TBH..

Sounds likely. But all of which means that if Baker Tilly are 'happy' with CVA2 then that removes any likelihood of further points reductions as, techically, CVA1 will still be serviced (albeit in a modified/reduced form) out of CVA2.
