“Ken wanted to stay on as a director,” he said. “I have been working hard to get the shares but people need to know what he is doing.
“I have been speaking with creditors – people like Kier Gordon, who looks after Eddie Davies’s trust – and trying to sort things out because the job he did for the club while he was alive, it can’t be allowed to go to waste.
“I have been speaking with Shaun Harvey at the EFL, with Sir Dave Richards (former Premier League chairman) and I will speak with the players as soon as I can – I am not going to let this club down.”
Bassini claims he is now in control of the club - but that he has not been responsible for the delay in paying wages.
“I have had the money all ready – I wanted Anderson to send across the share certificate – but Anderson has come across with all sorts of excuses, wanting me to do this, do that.

Not a very convincing performance. Are there really people queueing up to buy BWFC off him for £20M. Where are all the legal beagles in all this, and why let it all boil up on the eve of a game? It is, however,understandable that Mr Bassini does not want to put his first Million in if he has no paperwork to support his ownership. Where is Anderson and what explanation will he give to all of us who love the club?

But he had the signed contract in the interview on Sky tonight so what difference does the actual certificate make? I have to say that was the least convincing interview I've ever seen. LB neither looked like or sounded like a man capable of taking on a club like ours, especially with all the problems involved. I just can't see any way the game will go on tomorrow unless the players have a big change of heart and do it for the fans. The whole situation is a complete farce. Anderson is still the owner as far as it seems and doesn't appear to either want to be involved or let go, so is it any wonder we're in no mans land. It's pretty clear that Anderson has set up the club entirely to benefit himself whatever happens. I suppose this is the problem when you have a sole owner, especially a corrupt one. He is well versed in fiddling and with debts now applied to Burnden Leisure rather than ICI he's made it next to nearly impossible for a straightforward sale to take place. The grasping, cheating piece of slime will take this to the last moment to get what he wants and if he doesn't is I'm sure perfectly prepared to let the club go to the wall.
I'm sure there are genuine buyers out there but sadly I wouldn't include old Laurence as one of them. I really do fear the worst now and if this game doesn't go ahead tomorrow then who knows where we'll be?

I watched that interview and the only thing missing from Bassini was the clown nose, makeup and big shoes. How has this fella ever become a millionaire? He can't even hold a decent conversation, in which case I do believe that he was laying.

I've been following with great interest the recent takeover talk, but feel rather gloomy after reading of Bassini's recent shenanigans and his failure to come up with the cash as promised to pay wages. Anderson is now saying he's basically not got a clue as to what Bassini's intentions are or, if he's actually got the funds which now appears remote.
As I've said in the past, I've not visited the ground for around four years but have been a fan since a young boy. It is heartbreaking to see the "dirty washing" being done in public and our once proud club reduced to nothing more than has beens. I sincerely hope that a satisfactory resolution can be brought to bear and once again the real fans can take their place on the terraces and shout "come on you Whites".

LB has got to prove his worth tomorrow. So expect.
An interview with a national TV or radio station. Probably with Jim White as he keeps falling for it. No time for local media mind.
Expect LB to plead with the fans.
Await for an absolute excuse why he cannot prove these funds.
He will try and get more time of course but ive no doubt Bassini is a man detached from reality, who is all about apperances. His Rolls Royce is probably on a day rental on credit card.
Admin is not to be feared. Need to get rid of this joker and not play along any more.
Hard to believe Super John was banned fron the stadium and this crook can pretend he owns it. For a bit.

Amid all this doom and gloom let's look on the bright side. With the players on strike we don't have to listen to their constant talk of what they're going to do in the next match and how upbeat they are and best of all we don't have to listen or read Parkinson's excuses for failure or how many players need a rest. Hopefully tomorrow will finally burst the Bassini bubble and we'll find out for sure that he has no money. At that point there doesn't seem any need for KA to delay putting the club in Administration so we can at last stop the prevarication and find out if we're going to end up with new owners or no club at all. I just want it to end now.

Lets be homest, as most people on her have already said, why would anybody (in their right mind)buy us now when they can get us for a lot less in admin. We are already in league 1 maybe league 2 with EFL sanctions so the club is worth naff all in reality (Not to us fans I may add!)

Bassini got a few free meals from his ploy. Hes probably walking around home showrooms he cant afford, trying to get free stuff.
He is deluded and the overcoming feeling today is relief that he is not the man and he will not be setting us back even further.
Shame Mark Warburton is not going to be a part of this new reign, if we get there.
Still a few managers I would love to see. Ian Holloway probably my preferred option. Maybe not as tactically astute but what he belives in is night and day from Parky and that is what we needs as fans.

That relief at Bassini not coming back and not being the man, might be short lived OM if he is successful in pursuing his case through the courts. We don't know if the deal he reputedly agreed with Anderson is genuine, although the Administrators appear to discount it but if he does pursue it, it could delay any takeover of the club, with all the issues and problems that would produce. Hopefully it's just more hot air and we will find out this weekend how many genuine bids have been made and who the bidders are. It all seems to be dragging but all being well we are now on the road to better times for everybody. The alternative isn't worth thinking about but if Bassini does have what he says he has, there could yet be more pain ahead!! Let's all hope not and keep fingers crossed.

One named as a non-participant and that's the Chinese group introduced by Mark Taylor. Makes the names of the six a little more surprising.
The plot thickens.

True Wots, they haven't submitted a bid but that doesn't mean they haven't paid to see the books or couldn't make a bid next week. I'm encouraged that there are six bidders anyway and all must have paid the £25k and proved to have the funds required. It's getting interesting now so let's see who Rubin's consider the best owner for us. At least if a deal is struck next week it gives us time to start preparations for next season, starting hopefully with a new management team.

Yep, let's see who the next owner's are whites. The clubs a Ruben's cube at present, that for sure!
I'm surprised that passed by Marc Iles. It would have made a good headline.
Or, did I mean Rubik's cube. Oh the joys of getting older!

Courtday Eve and all hopes pinned that an argument against is so definitive that there can be no appeal or adjournment as we cannot miss the loan market closing.
LB interview doing the rounds on twitter with a fanzine editor. Who, no offence but probably runs his site for free but couldnt string a sentence together, couldnt think on his feet and let LB come away looking knowledgeable and well spoken?
What LB did say...if it was him. Was that PP was a disgusting lying mercenary. (He did say no disrespect to him before he said that). He also added PP has no future at the club and hes lined up two top notch managers and wants to bring in a squad of players 4 levels above what we have. Again all of this is not for personal gain, fame or fortune not of interest. Love of the club. Hes always loved Boltan and is a huge totters fan.
What i will say is there is very little from BN. Court day tomorrow. Hotel admin were supposed to name thier bidder on Friday. Iles knows this but BN still silent on the subject.
I will say in Bassinis case I think BN have been so pro football ventures. Very keen to say a deal imminent and slow to report that thier deal seems to be ripping apart at the seems.
