Lonsdale Suggests Another CVA


Speaking to BBC Hereford and Worcester, Hereford United chairman Andy Lonsdale suggested that a new CVA proposal may be the answer for the club.

Telling reporter Matthew Bone that the £1.5million investment had been agreed in the past few days, Lonsdale added that he wanted the sum to be paid in full to clear the problems, but that it was up to the investors and they may prefer to go for a new Company Voluntary Arrangement to settle debts.

HMRC and other major creditors rejected the club's previous CVA proposal, and the offer would have to be along the same terms of 100% payment and completion within 3 years as dictated by FA and League rules. 

The rejection came largely as the proposals laid out by the club were based on budgets that bore little resemblance to the reality of life in the Southern League. Without a firm payment plan, sensible budget forecasting, and solid believable funding another plan is also likely to have significant opposition.
