Well if the hotel hadn't been sorted HTF could they have been an hour away from signing the deal? Royally sick of all the shit and all the lies.

level headed as ever

Sorry mate can’t help. All I know is lots of people who have no love of BWFC have/are/made/making a fortune and lots of people who do have lost a lot of money and the fans, staff and players are stuck in the middle of a game of football monopoly. Business wise, I’ve moved on just as others have. As a fan, I’ll still be here long after these charlatans have stripped the carcass of our club to the bone.

Are these "not the slightest interested in the football part of the club" people the same ones who paid a non returnable £1m deposit to the Administrator in order to fund the club staying in existence and playing the 4 games (so far) you've spent your money on doing your part? What utter indifferent bastards they are.

Anyone wanting a ticket and cannot be arsed with the website fiasco chuck me a DM a lad was getting 24. Because panic set in everyone he was buying for jumped on and started getting what they could. He still ordered 24 😂 so he’s got about a dozen spare

I don't disagree But until theres a viable option, all I can do is look for positives and stay optimistic

Forget him... He's behind us now.

FV will want clauses inserting that effectively gives them recourse to the admins or some form of protection from Larry. Admins wont grant these and nobody can give absolute protection. Somebody is going to have to take a leap of faith within FV and believe that Larry hasn’t got a case. But it needs to happen ASAP

This Bassini crank is really getting on my tits

Does anyone know if the Budworth representing Bassini was the same Budworth that acted for McGill in the case against BWFC involving the signing of Gavin McCann in 2007? The reported wording in the Beeno of representations made on behalf of Bassini set off my alarm bells. I'd expect them to have set Judge Eyre's alarm bells off too.

Shed, obviously. What sort of dick buys a football club?

Its become clearer after almost 24hrs without an update of any value from FV and co that they are not in the slightest interested in the football part of the club. its going to be all about “what can we make from this” and nothing else. As supporters we have done our part, and almost 4 games in spent our money on the football bit with zero return from the prospective new owners as to the completion date and future plans. They dont care and are no different in reality to Anderson and the village idiot.

So you're not a fan of Benny, but no need to get personal. I think he's alright. 😀

Think series 2 of Mindhunter is on Netflix from tomorrow, first series was worth a watch so will be giving it a go.

Aye, but he’ll have to start typing his reply as soon as we hit pg. 998.

PR Vacancy??? HowardRoarke...Come on down!!!

I thought it was a sealed bids So surely your offer is your offer? You don’t get it accepted then re negotiate it surely

Given its intrinsic link to the football club its in the public interest that an announcement is made. In that sense Its not exactly a "normal " administration If a deal was about to be done prior to Bassini's intervention , there should be no good reason to hold up the process and an announcement .

He should be able to get rid of them, but if not, the lads who bailed on him should pay out.

their wages?

If they don't get the hotel that will likely be because they decided to find an excuse. They have a £5.5M leg up on anyone wanting the hotel.

This and That does ace food. About the only meaningful thing I can contribute to this thread 👍

I'll put up a poultry sum for ST to have a straightener with MK outside KFC at Middlebrook. Odds on ST will chicken out.

You are wrong in law but probably not in reality. Put simply whoever can prove title to the shares owns them - and even if someone else has bought the shares in good faith, they will have to hand them back to the true owner once title has been established. The judge and the clubs Administrator both clearly believe that a sale will go ahead - The Administrator even giving in his statement to the judge that an adjournment would not impact on the sale. I would guess FV may hold fire and see what happens at the next court hearing on the 2nd September though. I suggest you read back through the thread at @Escobarp extremely knowledgeable and informative contributions, particularly in respect of the last couple of days and @Matthew1234 reporting of Bassini's SAP consideration that he made (I'm amazed no one else seems to have picked up on this other than @Chris Custodiet ). Bassini may well not be successful with his claim but if the judge rules for him he will be the lawful owner of Burnden Leisure and as it stands the club AND hotel (as he would now control 94.5% of the company - which in turn owns them - I was unsure as to exactly what Bassini thought he was buying until Matthew so helpfully reporting on what was said in court today). It could be viewed however that assets of Burnden Leisure may have to be sold to keep the company solvent and as such the club and hotel could be sold to new owners, the sale used to pay off creditors and Bassini's position as owner (if so determined by the judge) remain the same - namely he bought BL for £200k plus debts (a load of them!) and after sale of assets (say the football club to FV) the money received was used to pay off those creditors - and thus Bassini still has bough BL for £200k but now with no debts! - although all he would have is a shell company with no assets - and as such he's basically paid £200k for a bunch of worthless share certificates. The selling of the assets and paying off of creditors would not be detrimental to the value of the shares he bought, and thus Bassini would have no longer any claim on the clubs ownership. No doubt which would probably trigger a myriad of legal claims and counterclaims. And being such the book I recommend for tonight therefore is Dickens, Bleak House.

Only getting in Liverpool at ten, must be getting old.

Definitely not, I wouldn't have worn that coloured suit, or used that tailor. And he couldn't afford a house in Romiley. Marple perhaps.....

If this is correct and they are fully recompensed for any costs then surely on a financial level they are better completing rather than walking away as if they walk away they lose the £1 million they have already put in.

Think , i just bought a season ticket 😍😍😍

A very accurate critique of ST, discussing this topic with him in a rational manner is pointless.

The only person who said our our standards will be below those of the EU is you. As usual making stuff up and twisting reality. Try scrutinising your own point. Plenty of nations around the world will have lower food standards than the EU. They still export there. Weird eh? Or could it be that they have production standards on exported goods that are acceptable? Yet more barrier erecting to defend a losing cause.
