rallyboy Posted 8 September, 2014 Share Posted 8 September, 2014 I don't see any reason for the few to panic, they've just been to one of the bigger clubs in the division and they did put up a plucky fight. Their time will come, they'll get a glorious giantkilling three points at somewhere like Morecambe or Shrewsbury, and then we'll look silly for mocking how smalltime they've become.

Once that sale has been completed, it is estimated an extra 0.5p in the pound would be handed to CVA members in the future, bringing total distributions to 4.35p in the pound.That is a significant rise on the 2p in the pound anticipated in original CVA proposals. The report also details how CVA creditors received a first dividend of 2.34p in the pound on August 13, 2013. A second dividend of 1.51p in the pound was paid on March 3, 2014. To date, the aggregate dividend is 3.85p in the pound – equating to a total pay out of £1,274,256.29.

rallyboy Posted 9 September, 2014 Share Posted 9 September, 2014 That's not fair, it was pompey who sold him and a contract is a contract - they deserve the cash to pay dividends to their many shareholders. It's as if the authorities have got it in for them, making them pay off a tiny percentage of debt from one of their many administrations, instead of letting them splash out on Lidl bubbly. It's a blow, half a million quid goes a long way in League Two, even though they are debt-free. Never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gingeletiss Posted 10 September, 2014 Share Posted 10 September, 2014 So a £500,000 payout as part of the Johnson transfer because Liverpool finished second: http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/johnson-windfall-to-benefit-pompey-creditors-1-6286300 The money grubbing begging bastards tried to claim the money was theirs, but it isn't. Pompey have effectively reformed during two periods in administration since the Johnson deal was brokered with Portsmouth City Football Club. It has since switched to Portsmouth Football Club (2010), Portsmouth Football Club (2012) and is currently Portsmouth Community Football Club. That prompted BDO – formerly PKF – to lay claim to the total as the most recent administrator. In turn, the club launched a technical argument in a bid to obtain a share. That issue was settled last week when an arbitrator ruled in favour of BDO. While awaiting an outcome, the Football League have held the monies – now BDO will distribute it. However, as Pompey bear the sole responsibility to pay football creditors, no former players still owed money will receive a cut. According to the July 2014 BDO progress report lodged with Companies House, the administrators are also awaiting the outcome of the sale of land in Bedhampton. This is believed to be a club-owned strip between two farms. Once that sale has been completed, it is estimated an extra 0.5p in the pound would be handed to CVA members in the future, bringing total distributions to 4.35p in the pound. That is a significant rise on the 2p in the pound anticipated in original CVA proposals.
