It's just been announced by the BN that he is paying off all debts and made a nominal payment for KA's shares. Here's hoping he will turn out as good as his word and NOT as has been warned by his reputation and Watford experience. At least once agin we still seem to have a football club, but with seemingly further snags on the way. What does the team think ?

Can a leopard change its spots? He is a business man so he must see a profit somewhere. He is in it for HIS own good, which is not a problem if that equally benefits the club. I see a soon to be third division team with severe debt and just don't get where his profit will come from. He must know things I don't...which is not difficult!

What happens when you get it wrong?
Ken has failed to pay his staff, pay the loan he took out, failed to pay the taxman, failed to pay caterers. On every level he failed.
Is he under a bridge, warming his hands on a fire fuelled barrell? Is he at the food bank? No hes paid himself £550k first year, presumably the same or more next seasons plus seen his soon right and god knows what hes walked away with.
No legal issues. Not a CCJ. Just calls it quit. Not even banned from going to another club.
Bassini can be worse and whats worse is that its easy to do.

Personally i dont think its a job for one man. Im still worried but hope that Bassini sees the project as quick in and out. Sell it to the right group.

I've just read Bassini's Wiki. Its frightening. It looks like he's an even bigger shyster and rogue than Ken. Had an appalling record of financial skulduggery whilst Watford's owner. Was made bankrupt (for the 2nd time) in 2014 for being unable to pay a £37k bill. Yet now he apparently has £20/30 mil to buy us and pay off all our debts and take the club forward??? This is not going to end well.

I hear all that BL2 but surely given the costs and debts we do know about, he must have had to prove he has the wherewithal to fund those from somewhere. He says it's just himself yet nobody can establish where his money comes from, so it does suggest there must be an unnamed backer somewhere. He's talking about bringing in quality people to the board and if so, they won't be cheap. He also says he's not going to sit on the board himself, which seems strange, so again maybe someone else is pulling the strings behind him? As usual we have to wait and see how it goes, we have no choice after all. I'm hoping though that the EFL do a really thorough check on him after his previous indiscretions and don't just wave it through. They have a responsibility to at least do that for the club after the Anderson fiasco.

Well for me that's 1 down 1 to go if we get the right manager in who will pull the team together and start afresh in league 1 then your's truly will be back at the ReMac quick as a flash. Here's hoping to a happy ending fingers crossed. COYWM

Parky now talking about young players and picking a team for the future.
Its taken him 7 months longer to arrive at that im just hoping that no one falls for this.
Just hoping a new owner doesnt give any time to Parky, im sure he talks a good game but just hope we have a new manager in. Garden leave should start this afternoon.

I suppose there's not really much to be gained now from sacking Parky and paying compo when you can wait for the end of the season for free. I would have thought that with all the other issues Bassini has landed himself with, the managers position isn't the most pressing. Hopefully, if he is still here, Parky can at least help to get Connell to sign a new contract because on the playing side, that's the most pressing for me. That said, until we hear from the EFL that they have passed Laurence as fit and proper he's not going to do anything anyway.

Depends how his contract works. Im not sure ive heard two things. A rolling 12 month contract so hes always due 12 months of payments but also that this is reviewed each year at the annual point.
But then why not just sign/offer a 12 month contract and see where we are.
I could be wrong but i dont think the squad have much admiration for Parky. Id let David Lee take charge with his main objection to get the young players believing that next season will be all about them and it will be better.

Dont see it myself. Sam will wait for panic season in November next year and pick up the Watford job.
Surprised he wasnt considered more for Ireland and possibly Scotland job now.
League one is beneath him and we cannot afford him.
