Portsmouth appoint Steve Cotterill as manager to replace Avram Grant

• Former Notts County manager takes over at relegated club • ‘Steve is the perfect fit,’ says chief executive Portsmouth have confirmed the appointment of Steve Cotterill as the club’s new manager. The 45-year-old has signed a three-year deal at the cash-strapped south coast club, who were relegated from the Premier League last season. Cotterill took charge of Notts County earlier this year and led the Magpies to the League Two title before leaving Meadow Lane at the end of the season. The Pompey chief executive, David Lampitt, welcomed Cotterill’s arrival, saying: “Steve is the perfect fit for the rebuilding job we want to do here. He’s talented, ambitious, energetic and positive, with a very good footballing CV, coming here on the back of a great achievement at Notts County. “We’ve got lots of challenges ahead and like the rest of us here at the club Steve is ready to tackle them head on to bring stability and long-term success to Pompey.” The appointment of Cotterill comes just one day after creditors voted in favour of a deal to take Portsmouth out of administration. Portsmouth’s creditors yesterday voted 81.3% in favour of a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) deal which will see non-football creditors receive only 20p for every pound they are owed. Although Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, who are owed £37m by the club, are continuing to challenge the CVA, the administrators are passing more control over to Lampitt. Cotterill began his managerial career at Sligo Rovers, before guiding his home-town team Cheltenham into the Football League in 1999. Short spells followed at Stoke and Sunderland, where he was assistant manager, before Cotterill took charge of Burnley for three years. Cotterill will be formally unveiled at a press conference at Fratton Park today. Portsmouth Championship Notts County guardian.co.uk

Portsmouth to exit administration after agreeing CVA

• Creditors accept deal of minimum 20p in the pound • Over 80% of creditors believed to have voted in favour of deal Portsmouth will be allowed to move out of administration after its creditors voted to accept a Company Voluntary Agreement. The deal, which was formally agreed at a meeting at Fratton Park today, will see those owed money by the Championship club paid a minimum of 20p in the pound. However there is still a 28-day cooling off period for objections to be raised. The formal agreement of creditors must now be accepted in a court of law. According to reports, a total of 81.3% of creditors voted in favour of the deal. The hearing revealed that although HMRC’s claim went up from £17m to £37m, the club’s administrators managed to reduce their claim to £24m, meaning they were able to get their deal through despite the taxman’s objections. Andrew Andronikou, the administrator, told the meeting at the Victory Lounge: “As you can see it’s been duly approved.” Portsmouth became the first Premier League team to enter administration when they did so on 26 February this year. That led to a nine-point penalty and the club were relegated at the end of the season. Nigel Tresidder, chairman of the Pompey Supporters’ Club central branch, attended the meeting and said he was buoyed by the outcome but concerned about the likelihood of HM Revenue and Customs appealing. “It’s excellent news other than HMRC have 28 days to appeal against it,” he said. “I think the people in charge of the club are confident of winning any appeal but it’s time the uncertainty came to an end.” Portsmouth Business guardian.co.uk
