Laurence Bassini exclusive: Bolton buyer vows to lead club back to the Premier League within three years

Laurence Bassini has assured Bolton Wanderers supporters their club will be in good hands if his prospective takeover from Ken Anderson goes through.

The British businessman, whose ill-fated spell in charge at Watford lasted only 13 months, joined talkSPORT host Jim White for a rare interview on Friday.

This week, the 48-year-old was revealed as the man primed to buy current owner Anderson’s shares and save the club from impending liquidation.

But the news was not welcomed with open arms by Trotters fans, while talkSPORT pundit Simon Jordan suggested his takeover could be catastrophic for the club.

Bassini has TWICE been declared bankrupt and was banned from owning an EFL club for three years in 2013 for alleged financial misconduct.

He has since been cleared to return to football by the EFL, though.

Speaking to Jim White on Friday, Bassini responded to Jordan’s claims and insisted he will fund a big rebuild job with the aim to get Bolton back to the Premier League within three years.

“If it wasn’t my love and affection for football and this club, I wouldn’t be coming back,” Bassini said in an exclusive interview with talkSPORT.

“I think Bolton is a great, great club. I looked at it two years ago before Mr Anderson. They’re a great club and they deserve more. I think they have the potential to return to the top.

“I very rarely do interviews, in fact this is one of the first times I’ve ever done an interview because I just don’t do them.

“But I think the Bolton fans deserve more and need to know and feel safe, and that’s the reason I’m doing this interview.

“Bolton needs a good infrastructure, and if that infrastructure can be put into this club and if the right people are brought in now…

“I don’t know if we’ll survive this season. I’m hoping we do, but if we go down we’ll be putting a large sum of money in to bring them straight back up and then obviously a plan for them to get back into the Premier League.

“My plan is simple – if we go down it will be a three-year plan, if we stay up it’ll be a two-year plan to get them back into the Premier League.

“The money is available, I just need to have two or three things checked out with Mr Anderson and the club and then we’ll go forward, but we are very close in the coming week.”

The interview is a must-listen for Bolton fans, and probably Watford fans too, as he went into detail about his history.

Bassini insisted he was not directly to blame for either time he has been left bankrupt, saying he was victim of fraud which is now being investigated.

Listen to Jim White’s chat with Laurence Bassini IN FULL above, with the full transcript below…

---

White: Are your credentials are in question here?

Bassini: Yes they are. It’s taken six years, maybe more, to investigate the actual things that have gone on. There were people doing things they shouldn’t have done, hence why there are police investigations and football league investigations going on. I’ll have to let that take its course now.

If it had been true what had gone on, I would have never been allowed back into football. That’s all I can really say on the matter now.

White: Should Bolton fans be comfortable that you are coming back into football?

Bassini: “If it wasn’t my love and affection for football and this club, I wouldn’t be coming back. I think Bolton is a great, great club. I looked at it two years ago. Just before Mr Anderson, there were a number of people looking at that time.

They’re a great club and they just deserve more. I think that club has the potential to return back to the top, it just needs a good infrastructure there. I was at the game on Saturday – I haven’t been very well but I still made the effort to go and wanted them play QPR and I thought it was a great result. I think they have great potential, really I do.

White: You understand where I’m coming from here, Laurence – should Bolton fans welcome you with open arms when you’ve been bankrupted not once, but twice?

Bassini: That is very true, I have bankrupted twice. The first time the person went to prison over it because they ripped me off, and second time now there is an investigation going on because there are circumstances around that.

They [Bolton fans] shouldn’t have to worry. I wasn’t able to do anything because I had too many people helping themselves and doing things they shouldn’t have done with Watford, hence I had to go bankrupt. I didn’t have a choice, because I had been set up very beautifully.

But the truth always comes out. There is no time limit on fraud, so those people who did what they did: be aware that the authorities are going to come and get you. As for going forward, we can only look ahead and make things better.

White: Are you a millionaire, a multi-millionaire?

Bassini: I am, my comeback was from property. I did struggle for the first few years when I left Watford. It was very, very tough, but then I got involved in property. I’m involved with one of the biggest landlords in London and we do a lot of property together. I find a lot of deals, I earn my money and I have my own company – one is developing and buying property and the second one is buy-to-lets. There will be a third company soon which will be for building products which I will be opening sometimes this year.

White: Will you be coming into Bolton with people who have money as well?

Bassini: No I’m not. It will only be myself. I don’t want to be involved with anyone else in football. I don’t want to have anybody hanging over me. I want to make those decisions and make the right decisions. But, I will be coming in with the right footballing people to build the club again.

White: Bolton fans are sceptical. In some areas, Ken Anderson has been described as a rogue owner and a rogue chairman. Are you?

Bassini: I was never a rogue chairman or rogue owner.

I used to go every day down to the training ground with the players at Watford to see what was going on, I wasn’t so interested on the monetary things.

I must say this, I had a phone call from John Eustace who was the Watford captain the other day, I saw him at QPR where he is now caretaker manager, he said I was the best owner they had, the most fun they had.

I’m not trying to blow my own trumpet. Football is very serious business and everyone has an opinion, and it’s not a problem to have that, but I think what people should do in football is people should say it as it is instead of trying to run people down. Football is very egotistic.

I very rarely do interviews, in fact this is one of the first times I’ve ever done an interview because I just don’t do it. But I think the Bolton fans deserve more and need to know and feel safe, and that’s the reason I’m doing this interview.

White: So they can feel safe with you?

Bassini: I think so.

White: Because Simon Jordan says it might be out of the frying pan and into the fire with you.

Bassini: Simon Jordan says a lot of things. Simon Jordan has his time in football. I’m not going to run down Simon Jordan, if he wants to run around pointing things at people and saying things that aren’t nice, I can’t do anything about that.

The only thing I would say about Simon is that he wanted me to put millions of pounds into Portsmouth and I didn’t want to do it. He kept phoning me day after day, driving me mad about it.

I said to him: ‘I’m not ready to go back into football and you have to accept that’. But he said: ‘I can be the owner, you just put the money in Laurence’.  I said: ‘Simon, I don’t want to do that’.

Then he turned and got all funny on me. I can understand that maybe he’s a bit angry, but I’m not going to run him down. His thing is doing interviews and if he wants to run people down, if that makes him feel good about himself, then left him do it. That’s up to him.

White: So Laurence, if you get the club, will people be paid on time? This is what you’re saying: The club would be in good hands, there will be money to spend and you will take the club forward? You’re not conning anyone here are you?

Bassini: No, not at all. Bolton needs a good infrastructure, and if that infrastructure can be put into this club and the right people brought in now…

I don’t know whether we’ll survive this season. If we go down – and I’m hoping we don’t – we’ll be putting a large sum of money in to bring them straight back up and then obviously a plan for them to get back into the Premier League.

My plan is simple – if we go down I think it’s a three-year plan, if we stay up I think it’ll be a two-year plan to get them back into the Premier League. The money is available, I just need to have two or three things checked out with Anderson and the club and then I can go forward, but we are very close in this coming week.

Football: Guardiola hails 'legend' Aguero as Man City inch closer to title

BURNLEY (AFP) - Pep Guardiola declared Sergio Aguero "a legend" after the forward became the first player since Thierry Henry to score 20 Premier League goals in five successive seasons.
Aguero struck in the 63rd minute to secure Manchester City's 1-0 win away to Burnley at Turf Moor on Sunday (April 28) that saw the English champions return to the top of the table.
City's 12th successive league victory took them to 92 points, one clear of second-placed Liverpool with both clubs still having two league matches each to play this season.
Aguero has managed 230 goals in eight years with City, making him far and away the club's all-time top scorer, and the 30-year-old Argentina striker has played a key role in the three league titles they have won during that period.
"He is a legend; he does that all the time, score important goals for us," Guardiola said. "He is an incredible player."
City remain on course to finish the season with an unprecedented domestic treble; having won the League Cup in February, they return to Wembley to play Watford in the FA Cup final on May 18.
Failure to defeat Burnley would have handed Liverpool the initiative in the title race, but City overcame spirited opposition to keep matters in their own hands.
Aguero, who had seen an earlier chance blocked by Tom Heaton, scored after turning on to Bernardo Silva's low cross and fashioning a shot that Matt Lowton looked to have blocked, only for the ball to loop up off the defender's chest and cross the line before he could clear it - although goal-line technology was needed before the goal was awarded.

 
 
 
City were denied a second by a superb goal-line clearance from Ben Mee, who stretched to clear off the line after substitute Gabriel Jesus had rounded Heaton.
Guardiola was delighted with the solidity of his team, who won without their key midfielder Fernandinho and the creativity of Kevin de Bruyne.
"Here in the most typical English stadium, we didn't concede one corner," Guardiola said.
"It is not easy, especially after our (Champions League) defeat against Tottenham, but our reaction has been outstanding, without Kevin, without Fernandinho, to come here and play the way we played."
The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss added: "There are just two games left. It is tough for Liverpool, it is tough for us - with 91, 92 points, still not champions."
Guardiola suggested that City's task at Turf Moor was made tougher by the dryness of the pitch, although he made clear this was not a complaint.
"In the first half, the pitch was so dry and we had problems moving the ball because the grass was so high," Guardiola explained.
"But when the opponents come to the Etihad Stadium, we put the stadium like we want. When we go away, they do what they want. That is why I like the Premier League."
Burnley had little more than 30 percent possession, yet still had the best first-half chance, with Chris Wood failing to control Jeff Hendrick's through ball and allowing goalkeeper Ederson off his line to smother.
City, who piled intense pressure on Burnley's goal in the first 20 minutes of the second half, did sit off to protect their lead after that - a source of pride for Burnley boss Sean Dyche.
"In the closing minutes, I heard Pep Guardiola screaming 'get it in the corner'," said Dyche.
"Even the best sides have to do it. I thought it was refreshing to hear a top manager scream that to his players."

Fabian Schar: Brain injury charity Headway calls for UEFA to launch investigation over Newcastle United defender’s concussion

Brain injury charity Headway has demanded a UEFA investigation after Fabian Schar played the full 90 minutes of Switzerland’s 2-0 win over Georgia, despite being “knocked out for a few seconds” in the first half.

The Newcastle defender was involved in a sickening clash of heads with Georgia’s Jemal Tabidze in the 24th minute as Switzerland got their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign off to a winning start on Saturday.

3

There was a five-minute stoppage while Schar received treatment from medical staff before completing the rest of the game.

The 27-year-old told Swiss outlet Blick that he was “knocked out for a few seconds” and could not remember the incident. He lay on the ground motionless as players checked to see if he had swallowed his tongue.

Schar will not play a part in Tuesday’s Group D game with Denmark and is suspended for Newcastle’s trip to Arsenal next week.

But in a statement on Monday, Headway expressed its “anger and disbelief” over the incident.

The statement added: “The charity has demanded UEFA launches an investigation into the circumstances that resulted in Swiss player Fabian Schar being cleared to continue playing in a match against Georgia – just minutes after being knocked unconscious and needing emergency help from a member of the opposition.”

Headway chief executive Peter McCabe said: “What is it going to take to make football take concussion seriously?

“How many more players will have their careers and, more importantly, their lives and long-term health put at risk by the sport’s inability to follow its own protocols?

“Put simply, the decision to allow Fabian Schar to return to the field of play after suffering a clear concussion was not only incredibly dangerous but also a clear dereliction of duty.

“The player’s comments after the match are also deeply disturbing and again show the lack of awareness and understanding among players.

“UEFA must immediately launch an investigation into the incident and explain why their protocols were not followed.”

On Sunday, the Swiss Football Association said: “International Fabian Schar is in good shape on the day after the game of the A national team in Georgia and the clash in a header duel with Jemal Tabidze.

“When the medical team of the Swiss A national team arrived immediately after the clash, (Dr Damian) Meli said he (Schar) was ‘awake and oriented’.

“He was examined according to the ‘Sport Concussion Assessment Tool’ – no neuropsychological deficits could be detected.

“Therefore, after about five minutes of treatment, the medical team decided to let Schar continue playing. The centre-back could then continue the game without significant problems and play through to the end.

“Since later, more detailed tests after the game concluded no abnormal results, Fabian Schar was able to return to travel with the team back to Switzerland.”

Leyton Orient promoted to the Football League to end two-year exile

Leyton Orient secured their return to the Football League with a tense goalless draw at home to Braintree.

The O’s suffered a dramatic fall from grace and tumbled out of League Two in 2017 – but they will now return to the fourth tier next season after pipping Salford City to the National League title.

The home side enjoyed much of the first-half possession but struggled to fashion opportunities on goal.

Jobi McAnuff came close for Orient after 37 minutes, but his curling shot was blocked by Kodi Lyons-Foster.

Macauley Bonne’s strike was flagged for offside after 60 minutes, before Iron’s defender Andrew Eleftheriou tested Dean Brill at the other end.

Orient’s Josh Koroma had an effort blocked on the line after 73 minutes as the game finished goalless, which was enough for the O’s to take the title.

There were wild celebrations at the final whistle, as more than 8,000 home fans entered the pitch to celebrate their return to the EFL.
