Absolute bollocks.

 

Why do you keep saying "your argument saying its a choice between liquidation or Bassini is completely invalid", you made that scenario up in a previous post.

So you're saying I would sell to the raging dickhead? How can you be so sure of that? I'm telling you I wouldn't because there is more to the deal than just cash when it comes to long standing neighbours, friends and conscience.

No I didn't say it was between liquidation or Bassini, I said if it is i'm done with the club so sweep said the comparison when clearly its not just a choice of them two at all as there are more than just Bassini in the race.

Thought the mystery bidder had bought the shares off moonshift so all the rest is conjecture

I think we all just want and end to the years of turbulence and unrest, so a wealthier owner may or not throw money at the team, but it would be comforting to know they at least have the resources to provide the requisite stability and I don't believe Bassini has that. We are at a crossroads, and I'm not sure how I would feel if we bought into more uncertainty at this crucial point in time.

 

Sky Sports running with the Bassini story as well.

Out of blissful ignorance I’m going to stick with Howard’s mystery buyer.

Bassini looks like Traf with a tan

In Howard We Trust

Bassini has apparently "found" some money, I'm suggesting he must have one huge couch where hejust  checked down the back of it, and found these millions, as am not sure what buyer would want him in a consortium with his checkered record

In the Telegraph now too. This doesnt sound like throwing something hoping it sticks, does actually sound like he knows something more now. Hoping he is wrong though.

No. It just means the story has legs and journos can keep the story live. Truth can be quite different.

Howard has gone very quiet....

Bassini Out!

Aye, hopefully. Its just that he has mainly been bumbling over the last couple of weeks and now he seems confident.

Maybe he's sick to the back teeth of telling people the same thing over and over and over again ... just my take on it

just waiting for a stoke of  genius in this takeover. 

Hopefully this is just the play for more money we've been expecting from Ken and not a serious bid.

I suppose that as Bassini was only banned from being a Director of a football club for 3 years after he f****** Watford over, and Anderson was banned from holding any Directorship for 9 years, it's technically an improvement.

 

WTF am I thinking?

Nixon seems confident. IF Nixon is right and that's a big IF then Howard has clearly just been spinning a good tale. 

However, IF Nixon is right then I will give ANY new owner a chance - especially if they have cash to sort out our immediate future. 

Fuck the Bassini's

Seems our friendly neighborhood insider Howard has gone quiet for now, lets hope he has good news. 

IF Nixon is right, the EFL will have ALOT of explaining to do, letting one ex bankrupt own a club and then sell to another. Their whole fit and proper tests will be null and void, and I suspect this would have further ramifications, I guess this is just journo's going off on the wrong tangent

I agree, I think there will be big ruptions in the game if this goes through... 

Just hope it doesnt have legs and they're all jumping on the back of Nixon's article.

What if it goes through and Bassini has found a source of money that bankrolls us for the forseeable?
