The full quote is, âFor me, 90 per cent of football is completely crooked and I was happy to get out of it. But he (Jimmy Russo) wanted to be in it.â I wonder where he considers that he stands, the 90% or the 10%? The WO reports on the Russo, Bassini show up just what was going on behind the scenes at the club. Sounds as if both parties are not to be played with otherwise they will take the ball away.
No ak it was from Baz. http://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/ne..._Watford_FC_after_encouragement_from_brother/ Fact or fantasy? He had a £10M to play with!
Baz also made this statement. " Mr Bassini also alleged the Russos still own 50 per cent of Watford FC with the Pozzo family and were currently orchestrating a “vindictive” campaign against him."
Makes you feel so much better to think we are now rid of them both and have real football people in charge.
Reading the WO reports is fascinating. I doubt if we will ever know what really happened but it is becoming very clear why the Football League punished Baz rather than the club. As this is a civil case no one will be punished but I would be interested to know if the findings from this case can be used in WFC's appeal against Baz? I don't know enough about the law?
