How does this work then? I thought that agreed CVA had to be in place by certain deadline otherwise further points deduction handed out. Is that not what happened to us?

..........

 

Again they are answering a question that has an answer already in the public domain (on the Football League regulations document available to everyone on their website). The Football League rules show that they wouldn't get a points penalty for remaining in admin this summer. I don't know why the BBC and Pompey News think it may have been an issue.

 

What about a penalty for diluting the failed 2010 CVA with a new 2012 CVA? Why haven't the BBC asked the Football League or PKF about that?

I think it has already been expanded on another thread in the lounge. Start from the beginning, read through it and then let us know your thoughts.

 

Really, that one must have slipped me by - can't say that I have seen it.

My understanding is that until CVA2 is in place or there is an exit of administration without a CVA and/or CVA1 is dissolved the League are in no position to do anything.

It works because they are P*rtsmouth and they seem to be able to get away with murder. :-(

Luton town got a 30 point penalty & Chester City got a 25 point deduction for being in exactly the same situation. It's one rule for one and another rule for another. The FA make me sick with their inconsistency.

You should then write to them for some clarity.

Just need a lot of football fans to demand the answer to one simple question:

 

Why does failing to exit with a CVA means points deduction, but ignoring a CVA does not?

 

Club A says 'we aren't paying debt back'.

Club B says 'we'll pay back 20%'.

 

Neither pay back anything, but club B increases their debt still further.

 

Please explain.

It's a thoroughly worthwhile question, and I agree.

 

Nonetheless I can easily see them getting away with it, on the pre-text that CVA1 has neither been ignored nor gone away; it will still need to be serviced as part of CVA-2, albeit at a lower than initially agreed rate.

 

Complete horse-sh*t of course, but you can just imagine that the Football League don't actually have a rule for this and will bottle the big decision in fear of huge litigation.

Luton's 30 point penalty was not all for administration, it also included 10 points for paying agents via a third party and came about after 3 administrations in the Footbal League in 10 years. Chester City's points deduction was by the Football Conference. None of the points deductions were by the FA, except Pompey's 9 points which was handed out when they were in the Premier League (which is run by the FA). The FA have so far been completely consistent, as they have so far only ever handed out one points deduction for administration, viz Skates. The Football League is inconsistent, but this is not related to Chester, and there were extenuatiing circumstances for Luton. The Conference is well known for its draconian measures.

No they didn't, they got those penalties for a variety of different reasons, and none of them were for just starting a season whilst in administration. Luton got done for not having a CVA and financial irregularities (PROVEN ones).

 

The FL rules are clear, there is a punishment for going into admin, and there is a punishment for not coming out of admin with a CVA. There is also a punishment for being in admin for too long, and the Skate Cheats haven't broken that one either. The Football League (nothing to do with the FA) are being perfectly consistent, and they also had nothing to do with Chester's penalties, which were in the Conference and WERE administered by the FA.

 

This is a complete non-story.

Come on in and join us nutjobs on the main Pompey thread on the lounge --the water's lovely.

 

I prefer to use it as a reference tool when something new happens in order to preserve my tenuous sanity.

And which lawyers do you think are going to represent a club that defaults on all its payments ?

And yet still they do business. Still they found suppliers to add to their almighty debt. And they have the prospect of £16M of parachute payments; probably a bit daft to suggest they couldn't get a lawyer with that in mind.
