Watford owner Laurence Bassini releases statement as Pozzo takeover nears completion

Picture: Alan Cozzi/Watford FC
Watford owner Laurence Bassini has released a statement on the club's website claiming Hornets staff and the media who cover the club "have not given him a chance".
The full statement read: "I'm aware there have been plenty of rumours regarding myself and the club.
"Since day one I don't think people have given me a chance and I include both people within the club and the media in that category.
"Over the last 15 months or so Watford Football Club has achieved a lot.
"When I arrived at the club it was facing administration and I put in several millions to keep the club going.
"Our current season tickets sales for 2012/13 at this stage of the summer are our highest for a number of years, while on the football side of things the team and management achieved this club's highest league position for five years after we brought in 11 new players to strengthen the squad.
"Work is currently progressing on a new pitch, this will already add to the investment we have made in the stadium since I've been at the club. A new giant screen has been installed, a new PA system is in place while seats have also been replaced.
"The Red Lion, which was a depreciating asset, has been refurbished to provide a home for supporters.
"These are all good positive things for the Football Club and the supporters.
"I do not know why people want to spread rumours about me.
"It is very wrong and I think people have short memories.
"All of the things I mentioned above are positive things for the club. I fail to understand what we have done wrong at the club "I have never taken a penny out of the club and I can prove that on the balance sheet.
"If there have been difficulties recently it is because I have been trying to pay off the bond holders and Barclays Bank.
"Going forward I have protection for the club. In response to press reports I never said I would receive £12million for the club.
"To date, I haven't seen the substantial proof of funds the prospective owners have to run the club going forward, but I understand that the bondholders are satisfied.
"To date, I have not met the Pozzo Family but my representatives have.
"I would like to reiterate how much I care about this Football Club, I don't think people understand that I care what happens to this Club.
"I know there have been people doing things they shouldn't have been doing at the club, they have been found out and have left. Since then they've been spreading rumours about myself."

I tend to agree, he hasn't been given much of a chance, however at times he hasn't exactly been his own best friend. The thing last week about the takeover being off has led me to believe he can be melodramatic or he was saying it with an alteria motive. But anyway, i still think he did more good than bad! even though some of his PR skills could do with improving.

You ducked the Fans Forums when you had a chance to speak to the fans and answer their concerns.
"I do not know why people want to spread rumours about me"
I think this would be because you have alienated most of the staff and fans of this club in just over a year. Quite an achievement, that!
Please go away and never set foot in Vicarage Road again. Take your safe but we'll keep the keys.
You will always be remembered as potless and phoney.

Seems to me the guy wants to be liked and doesn't take kindly to any kind of criticism. His PR skills (or lack of them) are now legendary and yet he seems to be the only person that doesn't realise it!!
As for the 'deals on, the' deals off' shenanigans over the last few days I guess the rest of the Watford board have locked Baz away until the deal is done.

Firstly, It was the bondholders who saved the club from Administration, not the Bankrupt who bought it for next to nothing.
Secondly, The additions to the team were all funded out of transfer sales not Baz's pocket.
Thirdly, Dyche over-achieved on the pitch which had nothing to do with Baz either.
The communication issues were all of his own making - mainly because he wanted to disguise the truth.
Hopefully the sale will go through very soon and we can all look back on a lucky escape.

I agree that he does not appear to have been the worst owner we have ever had (Petchey still for my money) however it is only when he is out of the way that I think we will get the full picture and know whether we are close to doing a Portsmouth. History will judge him when we can all look at his "reign" objectively.
During his time here he pi55ed off Graham Taylor - the man for whom this club owes a larger debt of thanks more than any other and who's charcter is above reproach, failed to turn up to face fans, did the same with the proposed radio phone in.
If anyone managed to bring his image into question it was Baz himself.
Well done on doing the pitch (if it has been paid for) but the pub hasn't and will never be a substantial source of revenue generation for a championship club and for some reason is given higher profile as an accomplishment than it deserves.
The players bought have been done so on the back of player sales and the seasons result/performances have been down to Dyche and his staff (after an iffy start) and of course the players.
For me the final straw was when GT left and Baz came out with the "we'll name the new stand after him" line. This was typical of Baz (who appears to be actually turning in to David Brent by this point) in wanting the attention and the plaudits for delivering what was clearly a hollow promise.
Thanks for what you have done Baz but this was always going to be a short dance I'm just glad that it appears to be ending.

I'm going to hold back on all that should be said for the sole reason that otherwise my comment won't be posted. In my opinion, based on fact, this man has been the worst owner of them all. Our football club has been left in a terrible mess, both from a financial and organisational point of view. The club owes significant sums of money to HMRC and suppliers alike, and don't let anyone be taken in by his comments about not having taken money from the club - rubbish. It certainly isn't down to him that the club did so well on the pitch last season. He is a complete disgrace, and I hope that some of the staff that have left the club can find a sufficient basis to sue him for his defamatory remarks. And finally, shame on all of the directors for having let him get into this position in the first place.

Although Bas now seems to have "Lost the plot" he has left the club in a better position than when he arrived. New pitch, the Pub, South West corner and above all keeping us out of administration so thank you Bas for that. But now is the time to move on. If your PR

Ok he wants his money back but if who wouldn't after all the abuse he has got. Let's do what we are good at - show our support for our club. We had all this stuff in the early 1970's and we got sucked in to Div 4 - let's think about it - those days were awful 9 and then 10 games in a row all lost.

Anyway, he came along when we were desperate, kept a status quo. Used a bit of transfer money to put in some seats and buy a couple of tellys (and a few speakers in the Rous and Rookery) and used the Saracen money to put in a new Desso pitch. Ironically, it's this new pitch that is gonna suit the sort of footy we will now be playing. I spoke to him twice over the time he's been here and what he was saying was fair enough. But I wonder why he couldn't speak like that in front of the fans - perhaps he is genuinely shy. If that's the case then he has no business running a football club especially my one.

- this is because you have a chequered past, been declared bankrupt, changed your name and by your attention seeking actions and irrational outbursts did nothing to reassure people of your intentions. You couldn't convince GT so you were never going to convince anyone else.
"When I arrived at the club it was facing administration and I put in several millions to keep the club going"
- but whose money is it? Certainly not yours.
"Our current season tickets sales for 2012/13 at this stage of the summer are our highest for a number of years, while on the football side of things the team and management achieved this club's highest league position for five years after we brought in 11 new players to strengthen the squad."
- you're not seriously going to take the credit for this are you Baz?
"The Red Lion, which was a depreciating asset, has been refurbished to provide a home for supporters."
- maybe, however was the pub seriously more priority than other things. SW corner??
"I do not know why people want to spread rumours about me."
- err..Because you dodge and avoid people? Because you contradict yourself? Because you have an inflated ego? Because you chose to be a football club owner? Grow up and deal with it. You're like an insecure child.
"I would like to reiterate how much I care about this Football Club, I don't think people understand that I care what happens to this Club."
- you're right, they don't.
"I know there have been people doing things they shouldn't have been doing at the club, they have been found out and have left. Since then they've been spreading rumours about myself."
- Who? What?
Why can't you be specific? And you wonder why people don't trust you.
I think you lack emotional intelligence and, as so many have already said, have appalling PR.
I'm glad you're going, but I wish you well in your next venture. No hard feelings eh.

Even I 15 months ago wasn’t sure about LB but I said then as I do know that I would judge him on what he has done at the club and what he has done is nothing wrong. What he has done is no different to what would have happened under the Russo's or Lord A, indeed I think he has done more than Lord A would have, and he has done what he said he would do. Yes he has been naïve, yes he has had no PR sense but he really doesn’t deserve the abuse that has been heaped on him.
As to worst owner ever, I would point to Lord A himself (where DID all the money go from the Prem riches?) and Jack Petchey. A man who demanded repayment to himself of a £3million pound loan the club had received from Elton John! And who despite being loaded hardly spent a penny of it at the club. Now there are two people whose only interest in WFC was what money they could get out of it. I could also mention whoever it was that gave Vialli the reigns to sign all those awful players on stupid wages (my mind gone blank on the name there) whilst getting rid of some quality like Page.

And I can't remember one person who thinks of him as hero & wants him to stay so your quote "trolls Saying what a hero Baz was" is inaccurate on 2 counts! Don't post nonsense just for a reaction as you will get found out .....

Despite that until proved differently I feel LB has done a good job and equally many of the long serving permanent staff at WFC have failed miserably. Of that there can be no dispute.
Bas went bankrupt but so have several
well known multi billionaires, and yet he is pilloried by many who hate facts to get in the way of their opinions. So sad but that is life.

I've got to admit your posts are usually fair, but in regards to abuse, this has come from all angles.
Example a good deal of posters thought Dyche was not the correct choice, me being one, we were wrong and almost to a man admitted it, this was not enough for many.
Bas, now if people were to stop assuming that Buckler, Bankrupt, Edl, Cornet to name a few might have realised none of my early posts during his tenure slated him, yet I was anti Bas. As it happens that come quickly after the no show at the fans forum and reading between GTs lines.
I have been called many names and I have answered in like, and often invited those for a one to one. Only Jason has Done that, though it's only the Bas issue that we've ever disagreed on.
There is missed irony, cutting humour that sometimes goes over people's heads, so be it. There are also the sanctimonious few whose views are the only acceptable views.
Accepting the status quo invites middling existence, wanting more for your club dies not mean your the anti Christ.
But Frankie this thread is getting boring, I pray Bas is on his way and the Pozzos are in before we all go ape waiting!

It has 25% tequila 25% vodka 15% gin 5% grenadine 40% orange juice and a dash of delusion.
Ok I'll try one said the man.
After its made, the man takes a sip, starts to cough and splutter, when he gains his composure, says jeeze I know how it gets it's name. That was mental!
He continues to finish the drink and after a while says to the barman. Hey your sums don't add up! To which the batman replies. That's why it's called a bassini!

I await the abuse..Watcha Doc. No abuse but really, 15 months ago there was a huge amount of suspicion about a man who had been bankrupt and on the dole more than a few times. Folk wondered if this really was the type of owner that was RIGHT for a footie club. He never, at any stage, did what anyone else in his position would have done and that is, stand in front of the fans and answer all questions totally honestly and as openly as possible. He might have won 50% of his doubters over at that point. The fact remains that he came across then as a dishonest man and continues right up until this very day as a dishonest man and that's why you're seeing all this vitriol aimed in his direction now despite that fact that there are indeed a few projects that he has completed.
Why should someone have to explain where he made his money? He obviously had to convince Lord A he had it and where had he been dishonest exactly?

This bickering is getting tiresome. Some dislike LB, some dislike him with insults and some dislike him with insults to anyone who argues the point. Will they also dislike the Pozzo family for some reason, if the takeover does go through?
We are all supporters together, but of which Watford FC?

The fact remains that he came across then as a dishonest man and continues right up until this very day as a dishonest man and that's why you're seeing all this vitriol aimed in his direction now despite that fact that there are indeed a few projects that he has completed.
Why should someone have to explain where he made his money? He obviously had to convince Lord A he had it and where had he been dishonest exactly?
You Tony, are the cheapest shooter in town. I generally ignore your drivel unless I happen to see my name as I Speed scan all posts. You don't have to read mine either.
Roy Stockdill likes to play your silly games, I'm more of a let's get it sorted type of person.
For that end

Youre right lets get this sorted, so why resort to mud slinging? Cant wait to hear the Pozzo's have finally bought the club and to hear what they have to say about their plans for it

lutondown & co. when have I praised or not praised Bas.
What I read from yourselves dose not say supporter in any way. Please for once be factuel.
And we certainly do not care what you think.
