Promise deadline A. 2. Exceed deadline A. 3. Make less specific deadline B. 4. Just about meet deadline B. I guess it all depends on how clear the HoT are and what is left to sort out. Also the hotel may play a part in how long it takes, whether they want to just take the club and crack on or if they want to make sure they have everything first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted July 1, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted July 1, 2019 34 minutes ago, Lt. Aldo Raine said: Probably the same as yesterday. The naming of the preferred bidder and the signing of a Heads of Terms agreement won't prevent Bassini from making an application for an injunction. Bassini said he'd made the biggest bid. The administrators have now said FV did, if I've understood correctly. On that basis, Bassini and his mother scuttling pr person are just moonmen and won't even get to court.

No doubt he's a moon man and it will probably come to nothing. But if he can prove that his bid might have been bigger, the administrators' comments in today's statement aren't definitive. I don't think the situation today is any different to what it was yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the situation today is any different to what it was yesterday. Legal position is as follows The administrator is an officer of the court Bassini may have made biggest bid but he could only challenge on a point of law Even if he did make the biggest bid, he isn't deemed fit and proper by the EFL so his bid is voided Any further delay would put the future of the club at risk so the administrator has no case to answer Bassini is full of shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that would also have been the position all along. Today's statement is irrelevant to whether Bassini will or won't make an application for an injunction because, presumably, the positions of both parties (Bassini and the administrators) remain the same today as they did yesterday and in the weeks preceding. And do we know that he didn't meet the EFL's approval second time around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'll be successful if he initiated legal action but people seem to think that this latest statement means we've heard the last of him when it doesn't. He's as capable of taking his claim to the High Court today as he was when the story broke yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted July 1, 2019 Moderators Share Posted July 1, 2019 this part of the statement suggest Bassini is full of shit: "Football Ventures made the highest offer by a substantial margin" This part is where Bassini fell down before: "able to show absolute proof and source of funding to match the requirements of the process.

But anyway, hopefully in a few days' time it'll all be done and we can start talking about which players we'll be signing for our play-off push!

He can try all he wants, the administrators have clearly set their stall out and it’s not as if they have any sort of vested interest in terms of who the buyer is, only the one that fulfils the criteria, and that clearly doesn’t seem to be Bassini.

I know that. I'm not concerned that he'll be successful, it was just that people were reacting to this latest statement as though it's something meaningful. I'm just pointing out that it isn't and he can still try and make things difficult, no matter how futile his efforts would ultimately be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassini and the administrators would both have known each other's opinions on his bid all along. All that statement does is confirm to us the administrators' views.

The administrators are essentially a neutral party, they’re not arsed about who it goes to other than the one that fulfils the necessary criteria. With no vested interest, I take their angle as pretty much gospel at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
