Charlton's Allsports debt said to be £117,500 The Sunday Times has listed Allsports' major creditors in tomorrow's paper following a report by it's administrators BDO Stoy Hawyard.

Huge private equity and venture capital provider 3i is the sportswear companies largest unsecured creditor with £2.5m owed. Not a great return for a company that invested £15m 8-years ago and had a 30% stake in the company. Other large creditors include Adidas, which is due £1.2m, and Puma, with £762,000.

The Addicks were mentioned as being owed £117,500, a lot less than the £700,000 originally thought.

Rather funnily the paper also said that the Office of Fair Trading was owed £1.4m, a fine that it imposed on Allsports in August 2003 after a two-year investigation into price-fixing of replica England and Manchester United football shirts. A spokesman for the OFT refused to comment on why it had failed to collect the money before the company collapsed. (more)

BDO Stoy Hawyard's report warned that unsecured creditors might not receive a penny from the bankrupt company, who went into administration, it was said, after realising that they could not afford to put Christmas stock into their stores.  ¶ 21:02
