It's happening.

Thank fuck

Bassinis the front for a consortium, Bassini might be a Ken Mk11 but who says he will be here long term if deal is completed. 

At the end of the day it's the club we support, not the owner/director/consortium/tealadies or even the players as individuals so I find it fucking bizarre for someone to say if "person A" is there next season, then I'm not going to watch.....you can not like any of the above but "Your Club" is still there the same as when you first started supporting them. Fuck this concern about who's the owner, its football we go to watch.....

P.s. parkinsons football is shit but I'll still watch.

Just with KA, because you seemed to insinuate that you wouldn’t be there next year if it’s Bassini either?

Just out of curiosity, if we are top of the league after 10 games next season, we’re playing football like Brazil and we’ve got Nobby Nolan leading the charge... BUT, we’ve got Bassini in charge. Would you still be holding out and not watching us because we’ve got a guy with a dodgy background in charge?

Go back a few pages and you’ll see my comment on Bassini, saying I’m undecided on him at present. 

It’s about 2/3 pages back.

It’s not horseshit at all.

We were relegated by this stage of the season under Lennon, played league one football and I was there.

I am beyond frustrated with the football and the manager this year, and it has been absolutely dogshit to watch but I am still there, I’ve been begging for the manager to be sacked since October but I’m still there.

shit football isn’t enough to sever my financial ties with the club, and not renew or spend, but a corrupt owner is.. enough is enough with KA. 

 

Why let it affect you that much?

Get a grip ffs. We’ve been through worse as fans and we will go through it all again. 

Stop being a fanny.

I think the point was, what does it matter?

If he's going to own your club are you going to stop supporting? How soon would you be back if he brings in a new manager and we're winning every game, just because you don't like him? 

WestStandUpper has come across sanctimonious many a time in the past week or so. I think in reality most Bolton folk will give the new owner the chance to deliver before making the decision whether they want to discontinue their support

As I recall it Nixon (and Iles) had Basran as a certainty (to be completed on a Sunday no less), then it was Kenyon all the way, now its Bassini to complete with the money last Friday.

On just these three certainties alone Howard told us Nixon was wrong.

 So fwiw if this was a boxing match between the two, I would have H a long way in front on points at this stage.

Nixon would be in a coffin

Couldn’t give two shits about his past or what Watford fans say

so long as he brings something to the party

That’s entirely up to you. Your prerogative 

however do you think this stance which you take and many others do (ie; the 13,000 empty seats every other week) helps or hinders the club to stabilise moving forward? 

Are you helping solve the problem or making it worse?

I’m not trying to be superior at all. I just have principles and am a stubborn fucker when it comes to them.

here is what I said earlier tonight when asked about Bassini....

 

To be honest I'm completely on the fence at the moment.

Part of me wants to give him the two fingers because of his treatment of Watford, the comments of the Watford fans and his corrupt history, but then again everyone makes mistakes and deserves a second chance.. 

I'd need to be convinced by him and his actions at this stage to renew my ST - and i'd give him the chance to do that.

Fair?

My stance and my £400 a year won’t make much difference.

the majority of the other 13,000 are because we aren’t in the premier league anymore and the glory days are gone I suspect.

But multiply that by 10 people and that’s a players wages for a week. You know them that are currently striking due to non payment as we haven’t got a pot to piss in 

And there are many more than the ten, like yourself who currently have this ‘moral’ stance 

so, are you helping to resolve or helping to create the problem?

 

Who’d have thought a topic started by Kane would reach 371 pages

Ah well you know what they say, once a clickbait wanker.....

Fucking ‘morals ‘ and ‘principles ‘ are for losers.

If all this Anderson as chairman shit comes to pass at least we have someone to vent our distain at

So it’s my fault now, for deciding not to line the owners pockets any more because of his behaviour and antics? 

What about the owner who pockets a sizeable bonus for himself despite not paying wages, and contractual bonuses to players and ex players?

the same owner who committed to purchase a player from another club but only to go back on it.

the owner who is the sole custodian of the club who flatly refuses to pay his staffs salaries with no explanation or care.

the owner who refuses to pay bills.

its his club, it’s his responsibility.

Jumping the gun a bit WSU get your point though .If Wonga owned our club I would be thinking oh shit I hate those bastards 

Would I renew? Damn right I would because I was here before them & I 'll  be here when they have gone .

Once in never out.

The stay aways in general are part of the problem. Whether it’s dressed up as some moral reasoning or just can’t be fucking arsed is irrelevant 

We spend more than we bring in. Simple economics 

thats been the case for the last 20 years but for 17 or 18 of those the club had a father who continuously gave it money. Now he’s 6 feet under its gotta look after itself and it can’t. 

I’ve been to about 4 home games this season as my missus works and I have the kids. But kept my ST 

why? Because as ludicrous as it sounds the club needs my £400 more than I do. That’s my ‘moral stance’ 

but hey, each to their own

For all his tips and innuendo it's still Nixon in front with his prediction of Bassini 

bit convient it never got to the right place , and no one passed it on. 

or it did get to the right place and internally got misplaced. 

bahrain to ken , or ken to bahrain .. 

im guessing the bahrains sent summat to ken. 

in a world where "bwfc burnden park" letters get to the reebok ok , i'm suspicious.

If Bassini gets it then Nixons landed a knockout blow!

New theory. It was Howard's job to check that but instead...

So it is you

Welcome back

 

 

So if I say bidders X, Y & Z are going to buy the club & repeat ad finitum until someone does will I have landed a knockout blow as well?

I’m same probably missed 5-6 games being out of the country but won’t ever not renew my tickets, we’ve some fantastic fans but unfortunately too many fickle fuckers and they are one of the main reasons we can’t compete.
