You are right of course Norway - but it never used to be - under Oliver Phillips it certainly wasn't and even when Affleck was there he challenged the club - not always sensibly mind but at least we would not have this inexplicable silence.
Looking at what we do know about Bassini, he's got experience ....... at failing businesses and administration, his mothers got experience ...... at failing businesses and administration, the ex deputy mayoress doesn't know why shes going on the board except to maybe make some decisions, the other new board member thinks he can bring in sponsorship, the good doctor is eminent in his field and appears the only one of the crew to have any history of sorts related to sport. I'm not so sure this will not be outed on April 1st as a big joke. Could it be the basis for an unlikely comedy soap opera? That was one of my business ideas and they're certainly adding some interesting comedy elements. Yes this makes more sense than it being a serious takeover based on the facts we have. Those stating Bassinio doesn't need to let people know where the money is from miss the point that this business is a public facing reputation based sports business and as such has accountability not only to its shareholders and employees but also its customers THE FANS.......
Hear Hear Aberdeen , I am **** scared of what is going on , I started off anti baz and cronies and that concern and worry is getting much stronger! Yes we need some capital to play with ,but surely not this crew who are loaning or borrowing,why not go to the bank direct and cut out these charlatans!
Banks aint lending..... victims of the global recession. The problem is also we've got a few years of poor delivery track record against plan. I'm of the belief that the current board have turned this around but don't know for sure all the facts. Our credibility with any potential new creditors isn't that strong.
I can give you OPs telephone number Lenny if you want to see what he knows. I suspect that he would not tell us even if he has regular chats with the sports desk. He did know what happened when the salad boys ousted GS, but has chosen to keep it quiet.
OFH - you dark horse - does Oli come to dinner for wild boar at your place then ? I think this whole takeover stinks and cannot understand why it is not being questioned more - except by us fans - I wish I had confidence the "fit and proper persons" panel had teeth
i have a very uncomfortable feeling about all of this...i hope we're all proved wrong..but something doesn't feel right. Call it women's intuition...
think this will be very damaging for the club long term , I think i would prefer to go into admin take the points hit sell the players get relegated etc,but at least we could rebuild the foundations have already been laid! I know this sounds extreme, but teams have come back from admin before ,clubs have nearly died thanks to dodgy owners!!!
I am not sure I would go that far Norway in choosing that - but have a horrible feeling that is where Bazini will take us - bring back the Salad Boys
For quite sometime when I first started to post, people thought that I was OP. The fact that I can give you his address and telephone number might even raise some doubts about me. A few actually know who I am. The thing that I still struggle with over this takeover is, why does our Mr. B surround himself with friends who seem respectable, put up ã3.5m that he doesn't appear to have, and doesn't take a seat on the board. If I had put that money into a company I would have wanted a direct say in what happened to it. You cannot rely on others doing what you would do.
I believe the three weeks from announcement are up. Have the offers been received by shareholders, not being one I don't know. Its remarkebly quiet on the takeover news front, come on journos we the public want to know the real story behind the Bas
I wouldn't be surprised if there were some more news at the end of the week. The supporters trust met to discuss and compile a statement 10 days back. Since then there has been a deathly silence from them as well. They have now stated that it will be published Friday. Have they also been gagged until it is a done deal?
