    HAHAHAHA.

    I’ve just listened to this.
    Highlights include:
    Calling John McGinley ‘John Maglinley’...
    Saying he approached David Sullivan when he said on Talksport last week that David Sullivan approached him...
    Saying he’s had the money all along (which contradicts him saying Sullivan gave him the £25m last week)...
    Bringing Watford into it saying he understands why BWFC fans would be sceptical but there’s a ‘judicial review’ and it’s findings are about to published where ‘it will all come out’ about what happened...

    He’s still trying to claim the club was taken from him isn’t he?
    Can some psychiatric doctors please go and section him?

    He’s apparently been interviewed by ITV/Granada up north and been on the 6pm news - same old claims but apparently said if they block him from buying Bolton, he will buy Bury!!!

    ...and apparently was waving around paperwork in the interview which he duly dropped on air.

    Good to see he's far-sighted enough to dress properly for the north. Probably thermals underneath. It's not Stanmore up there

    Is there any Bolton forum? Someone warn them about this **** for the love of god.

    I would not wish him on them, or Bury.

    Fair few of us posted warnings about him when the rumours first posted.

    The ones who don't know at this point can't be helped, but apparently only 7% of fans are in favour of him taking over so it looks like job done on that front.

    It's pretty clear & beyond reasonable doubt he just wants to get hold of the hotel & surrounding land to turn it into a big scheme of flats.

    He mentioned in the interview he does a 'little bit of property' with Sullivan. There is no other reason Sullivan would front him any money for the club itself because of FL ownership rules.

    Bolton FC is almost certainly a secondary concern (why Bolton!) & he would probably split the assets & re-sell the club shortly after to investors/consortium of fans etc.

    I pity the fool.

    Thankfully for Bolton it seems they are due to be taken over this week.

    I looked on Twitter after I posted that and it seems most of them consider him a joke that has gone too far. Fair play to them.
     
  14. 52 miles away. Totally worth it and the hot and spicy dominos from Saturday night is just about ready.

    Laurence Bassini says Bolton were overcharged when signing @MarvinSordell from Watford in 2012, so much so that he personally refunded Wanderers several hundred thousand £’s when in charge at Vicarage Road.


    #BWFC #WatfordFC

    AMAZING. This is just one snippet from someone who went tonight from twitter. Apparently he said a whole load of libellous stuff and thinks he can take down the Football League over various things he has proof of - from both the Watford takeover and Bolton.
    He’s actually mental.

    The joke of it is, there we are away to Millwall evening game on deadline day and he wanted to sell anyone he could to put money in his pocket, pulled Marvin Sordell out of the squad and told him to get himself up to Bolton!

    He knows no one can disprove he gave them some money back, but sounds a little unlikely, no I shall refrase that of course he didn't.

    NB we won at Millwall with goals from Garner and I believe Deeney!

    I was there that night to see Garner’s one and only goal for Watford. Mariappa also turned down a move to Newcastle that day.

    Frightening isn’t it. If Prodl had been forced to play last year, we’d surely have been relegated.

    Haribo wanted Bassini for their advert. But after auditioning him, they felt he was TOO childish.



    In retaliation for not getting a starring role, Bassini has threatened to sue Haribo for defamation of character.

    Ive been trying to think of what Bas's voice reminded me of and ive finally sussed it.. Holly from Red Dwarf!




    I imagine he's going to pop up with a re-enactment of this classic April Fool scene any time soon.

    I was thinking the same, in fact I'm pretty sure he was interviewed yesterday having come straight from a Haribo audition, the jacket passed but he didn't!

    He did actually have the bottle to turn up at the Nat Lofthouse statue 45 mins late. I doubt if he'd have the bottle to turn up at the GT statue though.

    Someone genuinely asked him if he knew who Nat Lofthouse was and apparently his answer was less than convincing!

    If anybody got turned over in the Sordell transfer it was definitely us. £3 million for a England youth international and in-form goal scorer, now that's mental. Solanke went to Bournemouth for nearly £20 million and has barely 90 minutes of football to his name. Bassini needed the money for his coke habit.

    I genuinely believe he has a mental illness. There’s no way he can be in his right mind.

    I completely agree. In a way I feel very sorry for him and his family. It’s never easy dealing with mental illness.

    I doubt he knows where Vienna is, let alone where they keep the lions.

    Transfer fees are somewhat different to what they were seven years ago and, given what subsequently happened to Sordell’s career, I would say £3m was a pretty good return for WFC.

    This is such a funny video. It was shot on Monday night.

    I'm not sure what the best bit is.
    • His ludicrously poor filing system?
    • His inappropriate coat for summer?
    • The bullet proof evidence that he has funds ready on non headed bit of paper?

    It’s definitely his ultra high pitched “no, no, no, no, no, no, no...” while trying to refute the interviewers questions

    I thought it was a dog whistle at first
