I suppose it could be argued that 'getting in before the lock' means that they are at the front of a short queue rather than part of a post-liquidation bun fight. Possibly some merit in paying to be front of the queue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Chalet Posted 20 January, 2012 Share Posted 20 January, 2012 48 hours, where have I heard that before? Thinking about it liquidation might now be a better option for Chinny. He is secured creditor as is Gayda on the land, they get first charge on any assets in liquidation. The parachutes are dwindling and will have to first go to football creditors. Assuming the remainder is put against the burn rate it might now be a better option for him to liquidate before he has to pay another round of taxes and wages.

No cashflow means defaulting CVA payments/wages etc. and we're not talking a few thousand that some well meaning fans can throw together, like Darlo. I agree with you. I think they have allowed the administrator to be soooooo clever, that it has created such a tangled web of masked ownership and legal agreements that nobody can quickly understand what they are potentially buying. Generally people with multi-millions to throw at an investment don't act in haste and want the legal reassurance that they are buying some worth what they're paying for it. This is no longer possible at PFC, so their list of potential suitors diminishes very quickly. Toast, hopefully, soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintBobby Posted 21 January, 2012 Share Posted 21 January, 2012 This is great. In terms of all those saying "they'll make it"..."we've seen this before" etc... Well, yes...you maybe right. BUT..most madly run companies take several years to go bust. Desperate and absurd measures are taken to keep the business afloat. Months - if not years - of agonising and increasingly farcical moves are attempted to keep the show on the road. But eventually, death happens. It's not like Woolworths suddenly went "pop"...it dies agongisingly over a few years. The skates are probably in same position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stug76 Posted 21 January, 2012 Share Posted 21 January, 2012 I'm sure that this has been covered before but, will Pompey still get the parachute payments if they are liquidated? Supposing that they do, and they no longer need their golden share does the football creditors rule still apply or would it follow the normal procedures where secured creditors get there money first. I guess that what I'm alluding to is whether chinny has a get out by forcing the liquidation, taking the parachute payments and sticking two fingers up at the supporters? Fratton Park gets sold to the highest bidder to pay off the other creditors and Pompey United start again in a lower league, a really lower league.

Chez Posted 21 January, 2012 Share Posted 21 January, 2012 not quite sure why there is so much excitement today. Cala was never going to buy them, not a chance, so him pulling out or being ignored was inevitable IMO. The fact they turned down a bid for players during the week tells me the other interested parties are much more serious. So nothing has changed from what I can see.

No club is going to turn down a potentially vital sum of money because of a possible but ultimately unlikely takeover. I'd imagine selling assets whilst takeover negotiations are drawing to a close is frowned on in business circles.
