Saw that on twitter. Sticking point allegedly Anderson trying to get the deal to include "indemnity from future civil action". Sorry if that's already been mentioned, a lot to wade through...

Yeah, Wilbraham will pop up with a header in the 93rd minute...

We didn't relegate you, there were 37 other games that season you could have got the points from to survive. Everyone relegated you.

The same administrators liquidated Coventry when admin failed, and Coventry are still going, so theres hope. But the previous owner bought them back, cant see Ken buying us and taking us forward really

In light of recent developments, if true, then I'm even more certain of this.

Personally, I think Ken got royally peed off with the protests and insults to the family, he just wants to destroy BWFC and in particular us fans. Don't think it's about the money for him, he's got plenty. He wants it to drag on till we don't exist.

Are there any genuine examples of Bassini's writing from earlier? Everything I've seen can't really determine if it's him or not, but this latest one does seem too well written to be him. Still think he's Ken's stooge. There seemed to be a few hints and murmurs things were finally happening today, so right on cue he pops up..

Maybe he should be asking Bassini who apparently has shedloads of the stuff and wants to buy a northern team, and is not wanted at BWFC.

Phil Brown, Nolan, David Lee, Jimmy Phillips... stop talking about managing, get them on the bloody pitch..

So, checked the @EFL twitter to see if they have anything to say after being blasted by Parky. What have they tweeted today.. A retweet of Sky showing Sammy Ameobi's class, and a retweet of a Tranmere tweet. I get the feeling they're rubbing our noses in it now... EFL Retweeted Sky Bet @SkyBet 3h This is Sammy Ameobi's world. We're just living in it. #CantTouchThis #NFFC EFL Retweeted Tranmere Rovers FC @TranmereRovers 7h

Can't FV just get Larry on their board of directors, people seem to have been coming and going on that board all summer. Then everyone's happy.

A bit of mustard goes a good way to making a permanent marker. Won't name names, but the woman sat in front of someone on here had a nice yellow stain on the back of her coat for months (and probably never noticed).

Twitter gone into a bit of a mini-meltdown over this line in that article "he will be available to play for the Addicks immediately." when he was supposedly out for a month for us with a knee injury. I read it as meaning there's no paperwork issues preventing him from being a Charlton player immediately.

Same old story - no season tickets, lower tiers only. I read on another forum we're only opening the lower tiers due to storm damage to the roof causing a few leaks all over the upper tiers, and due to the ownership issues, not been repaired yet. Any truth in that??

Whilst waiting for any real news here's something to chew on, our esteemed administrator was mentioned in Parliament during the CCFC admin.... Part of the club was put into administration seven months ago. The owners have repeatedly claimed, through solicitors and direct statements, that the company owed rent to the stadium but had no assets. Documentation has now come to light that shows that to be untrue. Since 1 June 1995, this company, now in liquidation, has owned the club’s rights, title, and assets, all its playing staff, its good will, and the right to play in the league. Why did the administrator, Mr Paul Appleton of David Rubin & Partners, fail to discover that? He claims that he spent thousands of hours conducting his investigation. He possesses the full powers of an officer of the court. He is supposed to have ability. He charges more than £300 an hour. Despite protests from bidders, creditors and me, as MP for the local area, he sold the company that was in his charge without finding out what he was selling, thereby ensuring that the owners were the successful bidders. I ask the Minister why those who put companies into administration are able to avoid scrutiny and loss, at the expense of creditors, by choosing their own administrator. Now the appalling error has come to light—let us call it an error—can we ensure that an independent liquidator is appointed to look at the situation in Coventry? https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2013-10-22/debates/13102269000002/CoventryCityFootballClub

I hope you're right. Cue the administrator statement any time now....

Relevant or not, it's intriguing how they've just put it up as a breaking headline. Considering it was JT who got in first with their breaking headline this time last week, and had it 100% correct, made me sit up and take note...

Jewish Telegraph (who were the first to announce the Bassini thing last week before anyone else) , have just put this breaking news up... BREAKING: Laurence Bassini is closing in on purchasing Bolton Wanderers after a large number of creditors wrote to him saying they were unaware he was prepared to pay 100% of the debt. The JT's seen proof West Ham co-owner David Sullivan has underwritten £25m towards a takeover.

The Otzumer/MacGennis thing has worried me a little - if we were on the brink of completion, players now being paid, new regime caring about the club - it would probably be in his best interests to stay at least a few more days to see how things pan out. Worth a punt surely. The fact that they're still fucking off on the eve of this glorious new dawn.... do they know something we don't?

Starting to agree. 7 days ago since he posted this... Despite a long and hugely complex process of negotiation, we were finally on the brink of completion this afternoon when Bassini’s order was served. Our lawyers are now in conversation with Counsel in a bid to overturn the order immediately.

But that needs all the various signatories present in the room to sign the forms and shit like that. Could take days to get them all in the same room again...

You would like to think they've had 3 working days since he put in the court order to prepare what they would do in all the various outcomes, not think about it afterwards.

Switching from refreshing twitter to refreshing official BWFC news page, that's where their statement went up first last week

May not have legally stopped it, but if you were FV when Bassini made his case last week I think you'd probably want to know what was happening..
