Neil Allen said on a recent webchat that they had already been allocated to pay off the football creditors (players etc) but this week Portsmouth Council are still talking about the PPs being used as security for money they might loan to the Trust. What's the definitive position with regards the PPs?

How is this actually financed? the club clearly have to be running legally now so are their fees part of the running costs today and as such ring fenced in anyway? so if the trust agree a sale would that have to include the PKF outstanding balance and if so have you factored this into your revised business plan?[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [TABLE=width: 576] [TR] [TD=class: chatmsgtime, bgcolor: #F6F6F6]15:00[/TD] [TD=class: chatmsgtext altcaster_text]Colin: PKF's fees have been factored into our business plan.

And, if it's not the council where this extra funding re buying the club is coming from would you care to expand how this money is being obtained please?[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [TABLE=width: 576] [TR] [TD=class: chatmsgtime, bgcolor: #F6F6F6]14:20 [/TD] [TD=class: chatmsgtext altcaster_text]Colin: My pleasure. The club will have debt going forward as I have already explained. Debt is not a 'bad thing' in itself. The re-worked business plan now allows us to buy the stadium up front via a loan and pay it back over a period of time. This is affordable and secures the club's principle asset. It is a good thing.[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]

They have absolute discretion to do what they like. It's their competition. Any deadline dates are simply not relevant or true.
