So that vs a text message from Shaun Harvey. The trouble being that whilst I'm convinced the text messages will be "non commital" out of context they may appear to have some basis. Which means Bassini cannot win but that it needs testing...which means adjournment. I think that is nailed on. If the EFL have written formally notifying Bassini that he didn't pass the fit and proper test etc, surely that should be nailed on to throw his appeal out?

Site Supporter MickyD Posted August 14, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted August 14, 2019 Text from EFL Regarding your suitability to purchase BWFC from Kenneth Anderson. OK If only he'd scrolled down to see the rest of the text dickhead, you failed on all counts. Stop kidding yourself you demented wanker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escobarp Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 It all depends what’s in the sale and purchase agreement. If his ownership is contingent on him passing the EFL fit and proper tests then yes it’s enough if that isn’t in there then theres a bigger problem. Although why anyone would want to buy a club if they can’t own it and play the league I’ve no idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they've written formally as part of evidence to say that. It doesn't mean that Bassini has no case if judge considers Harvey texts to be clear confirmation. Though it means he'll end up having to fight EFL too. He's not getting the club - this is about whether he gets some cash. And whether in doing that he destroys this club in the process.

Okocha10 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Wonder if Quantuma have had a say also in the courts since Paul Appleton has had his say, do they agree that the hotel sale would still go through with an adjournment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like Appleton hasn't actually said anything. That was what Bassini claimed Appleton told him... Admins have apparently submitted their statement but hasn't been publicly divulged.

I’m surmising that kens argument is I couldn’t sell it he didn’t have approval from efl. Coincidentally from his Pal Harvey. Bassinis argument may be I didn’t actually need it to buy the club but as a mater of a fact here’s a text exchange with Harvey that confirms he was going to approve it. Which maybe never happened. We will find out soon. But the fact a judge granted the injunction says there is merit to this. But exactly what we will find out soon and hopefully it’s fired off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The texts will need verification and their context need fully explaining. No way has that happened yet. Equally the EFL statement is from now - so will need to consider history - are EFL withdrawing subsequent approval. It looks like Bassini has very very little chance from what we've heard but that adjournment will happen to allow evidence to be prepared. Which is just a huge problem for the football club...but the fact remains that you can't make a fair decision without the full context to consider.

They would need to speak to Harvey and get his statement and probably also determine what formal process was entered into. I think Bassini long term has no chance - but as soon as I heard he was using text message evidence my heart sank because its likely to be out of context and impossible to be precise about. And that means a good Judge would adjourn to bring that further evidence to light before (I suspect) dismissing the case. I was hoping he was reliant on the SPA argument because that alone would be possibly decided on quite quickly. But once you have text messages from EFL - it was always going to be adjournment IMHO.

LeggyMountbatten Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Even if it goes against Bassini today, could he appeal? If he appeals would that have the same effect as an adjournment for the club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
