MalcolmW Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 We're 1/100,000 for relegation, so if we each lump £10 on staying up we could buy the club at the season's end (unless we get relegated). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmjhb Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) Very cynical right now, but if he can make the club debt free as said in the club statement, then he gets the benefit of the doubt for a while.

Leyther_Matt Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 We still exist. Can’t really say any fairer than that, and personally it’s a big relief on that front. Let’s hope it passes any further hurdles and we at least have a go at folk getting behind the club before the bedsheets are back out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrycowdrill Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 No way this fella and his backers whoever they are are looking at a long term plan. Let the club stabilise, be self sufficient etc. They’re looking at chucking money at it. It may go tits up it may not but at least it can go either way. With Ken it was going one way and one way only. I’ll take our chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a lot of debt for a recently bankrupt person to supposedly take on by himself He must have decent backing to clear the debt and pay off the creditors. Admin was just a ruse for Rigby and the other ST chancers to get the club on the cheap whilst paying the administrator, probably one of their mates, a big fat fee. Let's hope he can prove to the EFL that he has the readies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Nt Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) Looking at it from Bassini's perspective, why would you take over a club riddled with debt, rotten to the core and with a full re-build required from top to bottom if you didn't have the money to do it? He must surely have these fund's/resources, to like he said, 'get us to the Prem in 3 seasons' otherwise it doesn't make financial/business sense for him to take on this huge challenge ahead unless he think his targets are realistic?

birch-chorley Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Anything is better than liquidation At this stage, so close to oblivion it has to be good news If all debts truely have been cleared then its extremely good news!! Still find it odd that anyone with £30m - £40m to blow would allow Basinni to front it but fuck it, we live to fight another day IF the ex Blackburn chairman (Williams?), does actually come in, as Basinni has stated previously then it will be a huge shot of confidence (for me anyway), as he’s got a decent track record and I doubt he’d mess about with tyre kickers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe his plan is to sell the club on... just like Ken’s plan. I hope his plan is to rebuild, invest and take club forward. My bet is option 1 is his plan A.

royal white Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Correct me if I’m wrong. But if it all goes through and Bassini passes the tests am I right in saying that the club is in the best position (obviously not on the pitch) it has been for some time?
