  Listen a lot of you know I am a fan of what Bassini has achieved in his 15 months tenure at Watford and still stand by this as action speaks louder than words. But I know that he has limited funds (always did) and is in a situation whereby he either has to raise 7.5million to pay off the bondholders or face default.Thus the selling of the club has been put as best option/solution to he issue. I as the majority are not happy to read that Bassini has tried to either scupper the takeover or delay it to try and buy time to raise funds, thus the report the deal was off! The bondholders are clearly trying to pursade him he has limited choice and the buy out is the best for him and especially for the club. I hope the man accepts this and does not turn all his good work into a farce with money grabbing demands and unproffesional comments. Hope this makes it clear to my detractors on my position to all this and no I have not gone into hiding Bankrupt, Buckler and Lutondown, still clapping still want he best for WFC!

  I think Corby, that you are very entitled to your opinion, but yours is very much the minority. So be it. I also think you were right on Dyche, something I admitted publicly that I was very wrong.
  What you did last week was breach my confidentiality by naming me. Not that I care, I'm confident to answer anybody anywhere. But I think your intent was less than noble. Dave!
  Now back to the issue, Bas acted like someone selling their car to one of the big company's that advertise, who promise to pay money into your bank account before taking your car away.
  I'm no on these matters, but surely no businesspeople would pay £12m into any bank account knowing there's £7m (odd) outstanding on a debt. What after all would you be buying? I think that by removing Ashcrofts people Bas thought he was out manoevouring the good Lord and co. How daft?!
  What I will say we are all Watford fans, and most of us have seen dire, average, good and great times, tell you what the great times were the best, and that's what I want for my club

  Lutondown I did not name you fully and I certainly did not do it to cause any issue and if it did I apologise. My name is Andrew not Dave for the record, likewise I am also confident to answer anyone anywhere and you know some of my back ground in the force as I have not made it secret as I am proud to have served this country even if it is not mutual by others for their own personal reasons. As said I do not think the way Bassini is going about this is correct, but it does not (yet) detract from what has been done in the last 15 months and as he is the current owner he has had the say to achieve most of this progress, when I look at the previous regimes operation none of them apart from EJ day's stand out for the amount of progress made in the past 15 months compared on a like for like season, if I am a minority which I frankly don't think I am, I still stand to be corrected to where the above is not correct, but no one is answering this back to be incorrect with facts or reasons just cheap insults and cr ap especially from that childish idiot bankrupt which further doesn't substantiate any wrong doing by Bassini except the current dramatics.

  Does the phrase, 'when you're in a hole stop digging' mean anything to you?
  
  I will attempt to spell the situation as I see it, out as simply as I can one more time for you. With his well hidden business pedigree, regular changes of identity, lack of transparency over the source of his funding, bizarre take-over vehicle etc, many people felt uneasy about Baz from day one.
  
  His increasingly eccentric behaviour since - namely his spat with GT and subsequent threats, failure to attend fans forums with lame (literally and metaphorically) excuses, late payment of wages to staff, rumours of non payment to contractors, a bust up with workers over keys to the company safe, an undignified clash with Sordell's agent, the whiff of an HMRC investigation etc etc etc - has only added to the suspicion that this man is some way short of being a 'fit and proper' person to own a football club.
  
  I am amazed that anyone cannot see or accept that despite Baz's 'achievements' - an upgraded pitch, a refurbished pub, some new wire for the tannoy system - that something appears very obviously wrong at Watford FC.
  
  Just how wrong things are remains to be seen but will no
  doubt become clear in due course.
  
  Of course, the anti-Baz brigade may be proved wrong and history may judge him as the saviour of Watford FC and the finest owner the club has ever had. Somehow I doubt it though."
