On 25 June 2012, Portsmouth's creditors announced that they favoured Balram Chainrai's proposal over the Pompey Supporters Trust's. Chainrai had 28 days to make good on the proposal and start the process of bringing the club out of administration. If Chainrai took Portsmouth over, the PST could do a deal with him directly to buy the club. Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Gordon Taylor said Portsmouth's players needed to reach a compromise on wages to save the club. Among those players who were high-earning players were Tal Ben Haim, Nwankwo Kanu, Liam Lawrence, Hayden Mullins, Erik Huseklepp, Luke Varney, Greg Halford and David Norris. Instead, the club transfer listed the high-earning players in order to cut costs at Portsmouth.
