Sullivan offers Bassini £33m to buy Birmingham… Sullivan gains control if when Bassini fails to repay loan…
Birmingham - location of the Peaky Blunders "From a gathering storm comes a bald dumpy tw-at In a dusty black suit And a red hard hat"
Has been declared bankrupt twice - he almost puts us into administration, yet he has a opportunity to make Birmingham even worse? Absolute scenes. I feel sorry for them.
The league's 'fit and proper person' test was always a bit of a joke but I presume they're not even pretending that they vet potential football club owners now
I think it now just consists of the one question - "Are you, or have you ever been, a Russian oligarch?".
Comedy gold! Lending Bas money, controlling two big-city teams when he fails to repay.... I wonder if Troy has expressed an opinion.
You say that, but they've asked you to search for any videos of him on social media and report back with your findings. Due diligence and all that.
"if the club's prospective buyer Laurence Bassini fails to repay the loan." Bas is the kind of guy who in a game of poker would get 3 new cards if he was dealt a straight flush.
It’s actually cruel he’s allowed to go on these shows. He should have been sectioned years ago. He’s clearly mentally unwell. He speaks like a child, just making up things as he goes along. The thing that drives him is he wants to be “somebody”, but can’t see all the laughing behind his back every time he talks. One of the most bizarre people in football.
If he had £10 million he would be in Bangkok snorting cocaine and letting ladyboys play with his micro penis. I still have that video burned into my memory ffs.
Never watched it myself, the mental image was bad enough. Why did you submit yourself to that? Worse than water torture I would imagine.
Simon Jordan basically made him go full David Brent within 2 minutes on that phone call. Epic shithousiiing
Im'pretty sure he is now the Government's paymaster general. https://twitter.com/Haggis_UK/status/1537375378586718208
Best owner we've had since Elton. Birmingham will be lucky to have him. We punched well above our weight during his tenure and he was disgracefully treated by the Pozzos.
Wow. That was a catastrophic interview on the part of Bassini. It would be entirely unfair for the fans of Birmingham to have their club owned or controlled by him. There have to be minimum standards for owners. If Bassini qualifies, then something is entirely wrong.
Lurking Bas | WFC Forums Just shows what a joke the fit and proper ownership test is. I'm sure Troy is relishing the prospect of locking horns with the idiot again. Might prompt his retirement.
