The High Court yesterday ruled in Campbell’s favour over his claim that Portsmouth owed him £1.67m - and that could open up even more problems for the debt-ridden club.
Portsmouth were claiming that the debt was image rights and therefore Campbell would have to wait in line with other creditors and potentially only get 10 per cent of what he was owed.
But Campbell’s legal team successfully proved that the money was unpaid wages and HMRC tax officers are already investigating whether other players’ wages were disguised as image rights in big-money contracts.
It is believed that former Arsenal striker Kanu is also owed money on his contract in similar circumstances and means the club is now facing more debt and problems.
old news - Administration confirmed and winding up withdrawn.
Sorry Scott, but it has been proved to the court that it was unpaid wages..
I think the whole point of this thread is because Campbell went to court and proved that the money was wages and not really for image rights as Pompey were claiming.
Lol, jobseekers is not 6 months 'nowadays', i used to be on it, to prove this i know for fact if an employer employs someone on a permanent position who's been on jobseekers for more than six months the government gives them money. Also there was a program on t.v about it with some kids being on for years who cant 'find' work. And i got 20 from your profile, yes how inspector morse of me. Haha hard earned money is stupidly put? You saying it is not hard to be a Pro Footballer? Thank you for sharing your facts of a 14 year old with me.
All I have to say, I have replied but evidence not written by me - You are wrong!Scott you can be on jobseekers etc. for however long.. There was a TV programme a few weeks ago where a guy had been on them for 5 years. Not that, that has anything to do with Pompey :S
