It is them after all that let the balance build up to such an extent. Most of the money owed to them is because we were paying wages we could afford and therefore couldn't meet the monthly PAYE/NI liability, i'm not making excuses but these players came over here and paid a lot of tax and spent a lot of money in the economy but they didn't use the NHS, or the education system and the country wont be paying for their retirement either.

This really is priceless, isn't it? Presumably he is overlooking in his naivety the possibility that some monies due to the taxman had been avoided by some of the transfers of players into the club going through Swiss Bank accounts and through the tax haven of the BVIs. Also, what sort of warped logic would state that they could afford the wages of the players but not the PAYE/NI? That's a bit like saying that one could afford the product, but not the VAT on it, or the holiday but not the flight. And he makes out a case that the foreign players paid high taxes but received no benefit from the State for education (presumably none of the foreign players had children over here) or health. But what about all of the British players in their squad? Anyway, there really cannot be any defence at all of a club that has cheated the taxpayer of revenue that could have been used to improve education, health and pensions or used to repay debts owed to charities and schools, but which instead went towards the over-inflated wages of footballers earning more than the Prime Minister and most of us mere mortals who abide by the law and pay our taxes.

EastleighSoulBoy Posted 10 June, 2010 Share Posted 10 June, 2010 looks like it was the taxman's fault after all, he should be paying them something as an apology, I bet the greedy git kept taking their VAT off them as well. Those spiteful creditors as well, providing services and then expecting payment!! Is AA the first football administrator who has actually forgotten to administrate and is instead pretending to run a little football club project and does everything in his power to avoid settling debts or satisfying creditors? It's so obvious he's working for one man, the authorities must be ready to jump on him from a great height. Good to see we've cleared up that there will be no more points penalties, that must be a relief to any of the few who haven't read the small print.

You have a history of buying things you can't afford and abusing the credit of others. You are insolvent - fact. You have massively negative assets - fact. You are relying on the goodwill of a creditor to service your day-to-day running costs - fact. You enjoyed relative success off the back of this credit abuse - fact. You have, presently, a stronger squad than many of your divisional rivals as a result of this. You want to spend money on players to gain a further advantage over teams who are not insolvent and operate within the spirit of fair play - get stuffed. It really hasn't sunk in yet to a lot of skates that footballing decline is inevitable. To be fair, AA hasn't helped by spouting off about forming a decent squad of high qulity frees etc...

benjii Posted 10 June, 2010 Share Posted 10 June, 2010 AA says some odd things. Obviously, a CVA involving a 1p dividend is more attractive to potential purchasers than a CVA involving a 65p dividend. Whatever. That's not the purpose of administration. I really don't understand why he keeps making public statements that back up allegations that have been made against him. If he just kept quiet and got it with it there would be much less smoke - even if he offered a hopeless CVA. I would like someone to ask him why promotion to the PL would only increase the dividend by 5p. Promotion would be a guaranteed £100m+ in extra revenue. There is absolutely no reason why promotion couldn't lead to a dividend at 80p +. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey-deacons-left-nut Posted 10 June, 2010 Share Posted 10 June, 2010 hahahaha brilliant! So.. The FL have said the Transfer Embargo will remain inplace until they can get a CVA signed. That means although they can sell players they can't sign ANYONE. That means all those out of conract (James,Rocha.Heriderson) and those offered improved contract CANNOT sign them until the embargo is lifted. If it's not lifted they will be left with whats left (they got rid of most of them by the way) of the youth team. now HMRC are goign to turn down the CVA as well as one other creditor, meaning they won't be getting the CVA signed.

The football creditors rule has no formal legal status. In a liquidation it could be ignored. Football creditors would rank alongside HMRC and all the local suppliers. That said, even a dividend of 20p is probably more than unsecured creditors would get in a liquidation. I would imagine that the parachute payments are not payable to a liquidated company (although who knows whether the authorities have the appropriate contractual documentation in place). That leaves the only cash pot as being the proceeds of sale of Krap Nottarf (as players would leave for free). That would probably not even pay Chanrai back so unsecured creditors would get zip.

There is a provision in the insolvency act for ring-fencing of a small part of the pot but Chanrai would get the lion's share and the other creditors would get next to nothing. This, of course, assumes that Chanrai's security is not challenged by the liquidator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming that his security is valid it doesnt look like its a worthwile option to the people that might look to lose out either way. If HMRC are set to oppose the CVA and who ever Griffins are talking on behalf of are also set to oppose it then they may be closer to Liquidation what ever happens. If prospective buyers are few and far between with things as they stand I guess they will be even fewer with the possibility of further points due to no CVA and possibly yet more to come due to the way the club has been run in the past. We have new owners and a practically new team but we still carried the punishment for what the previous lot did. Anyone looking at Poopy will no doubt take that into there thoughts.

Then add in that Fry had at least 4 verbal bids with proven funds that he knocked back in the early days, everyone of which would have secured an immediate payout for creditors in the region of what AA is currently estimating he will get over 5 years, AND most of those bids included a future bonus payment on promotions.... Complete joke is Andy. IMHO He isn't really an Administrator at all, he is a nightmare combination of Rupert, The Exces, Leon and Wilde and his only wish in life is to spend his time playing with train sets.

anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 10 June, 2010 Share Posted 10 June, 2010 This is a good article... http://www.twohundredpercent.net/?p=5438 Strange this link when he was at Swindon....'invited' to the club by Terry Brady - wasn't he a director at Portsmouth at one time??? I think Terry Brady was sniffing around Pompey while Mandaric was trying to get his Pompey village housing/stadium redevelopment plan going. I've got some Swindon connections and seem to recall Brady first being linked to Swindon when they got taken over by a consortium that was interested in relocating the stadium to a new site and combining it with the development of housing. After a poor run of form Brady left the club and was replaced by business partner Danny Donegan who hired Roy Evans as manager and signed Ruddock on rediculous wages which precipitated their fall into administration. Interesting that AA should be invited to the club by an ex-owner potentially interested in the re-purchasing the club. sounds familiar....... Luckily they had a local benefactor who kept them going until they were taken over by someone with real funds. If it hadn't been for the benefactors AA would've taken them into liquidation.

Gemmel Posted 10 June, 2010 Share Posted 10 June, 2010 'I've been on the phone to these people late into the night Now.... I'm sure aa works hard (As football scout, manager, chairman and the odd bit of administration), and this might be reading something that isn't there, but the time difference between here and the Ukraine, is only an hour...... I wonder whether aa realised this when he made the comment above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
