Thank fuck

Howard’s parting shot was interesting 

admits he came with a dual agenda and then has a pop at those that questioned him. Riiiiiiight

His mask also slipped when he basically called us uneducated yonners

Ta-ta 

No chance Bassini will complete if he’s no backers as he’s said.

That's coz Jordan called him out last week and said he was worse than Anderson

Now Jordan is biting back 

Simon Jordan said rather than Bassini take the 12 points and admin. 

Written off already. Standard.

Shut this thread when it's over, please!

Wish Howards group/ another had been more public (if possible). All talksport are saying is there is no one else other than Bassini. But that's the picture KA wants to paint.

"In April 2019 Bassini took over at Bolton Wanderers with a plan to get them into the Premier League within 5 years. Backed with funds from Thailands biggest Ladyboy brothels. Bassini also promised Bolton fans that the past is the past and to look forwards to the future and assured them that the hot dog rolls will be buttered"

No parting shot, just a confirmation of a few things (albeit most have been said before)

1) I was born in Bristol, yes, I found myself in Bolton for work in the mid-90’s. My first game was Spurs at Burnden in the league cup. Season ticket until 2009 when work took me to sunnier climbs. At Burnden I used to park behind the paint centre on Weston St, at the Reebok it was on Scan as they were a client. I lived in Harwood and drunk in the 7 stars and Crofters, occasionally the No Name. 

2) I came here with a double agenda and under the employ of a firm based in the Middle East. The agenda was initially to make clear the lack of funding available to FV, so that ground swell didn’t cause a completion before my group were through EFL checks. 

3) You may not believe it, but we saved the club in March by contacting KA the day before court to show our hand, without that it was liquidation. 

4) Following that the agenda became to shine a light on the activities of KA so as to cause a knee jerk reaction and complete with our group. We know he reads here and has sensitivities to statements, likewise the forensic accounting started to apply pressure.

5) The arrival of Mr Bassini’s group was something of a surprise/spanner in the works and has caused issues to move us away from our required narrative. I do believe he has the backers to complete, likewise he has the backers to support guerilla action to discredit our bid. 

6) Why did we want to buy the club? The land is highly valuable, the hotel car park in particular as well as bits around the training ground and relief roads. We also believed that a speculative £120M investment may well generate a return of 2/3 times this if EPL could be agreed. The sale value of the land would allow for significant investment/offset some risk. We were very much looking at a Wolves model but with the input of a slightly less country specific agent. 

7) The documents were not ‘knock ups’ and I will put the originals on a Dropbox for you to view them once the takeover is completed. 

8. My frustrations stemmed not from the challenges posed, but from the misery. Maybe it’s the situation, but I’ve always been of the opinion that I take a man at his word until I’m proven incorrect. What I see here is a small number of individuals who would rather spend their time attempting to prove me wrong/discredit rather than engaging in intelligent debate; allowing myself to build trust. It is these individuals that will seize upon only this point in response to this message.

9) Any of you holding the tiny fraction of shares in Burnden Leisure could verify any of my statements through the club solicitors. 

10) Mr Bassini is fronting the consortium because it is impossible to smear him, it’s a sort of perverse double jeopardy. That  he is anywhere near the other consortium  suggests the presence of my bidders is very real and that the comments on this forum have impact. 

11) Our consortium’s link to another football team was Seattle Sounders. 

12) Why did we choose to deal with Moonshift directly? KA was very clearly dealing with certain buyers who would agree to certain conditions that we simply could not, legally. Did we ever expect him to deal with us? No. Did we expect Mr Bassini? No. We expected a clear path once FV had been removed. 

Those are my final comments because I expect Bassini to complete today. 

Best, 

Howard Roark

Hope he’s read my stoning to death comment then. Cunt

Howard states Bassini had backers, Bassini states he has no backers!!! here we go again

At least Billy Smart wore a fancy costume when he fronted a circus. 

BOLTON. There is another as yet unnamed bidder in the wings. They need to come forward and say who they are.

😁 that could've been me 😁

thanks Howard appreciate the time and effort regardless of motives. Very interesting insight to the complexity of it all.

Also 10/10 for putting up with the professional contrarians and misery merchants

Don't talk about Casino like that.

In summary Bassini`s interview:

No foreign backers

Made his financial comeback to riches via working with London's biggest Landlord and in the buy to let industry.

He will put the right people in the right places to take the club forward. 3 year plan to the Premiership if we go down.

Continued to have a pop at Simon Jordan.   

FFS. Bassini has 3 companies registered at the same address, 1 of which is a restaurant seemingly without any premises.  None have filed any accounts.  If he's not got any backers, he can't have a pot to piss in.

Exactly, it seems unlikely in the extreme that if Howard’s numbers stack that Bassini has come to this juncture with the funds to move us along

I just posted similar. Too much press currently about Bassini or nothing.
