Laurence Bassini offers out talkSPORT’s Simon Jordan in what was another cringe interview amid the Birmingham City takeover.
The prospective Birmingham owner delivered yet another extraordinary interview, joining Jim White, Simon Jordan and Danny Murphy live on national radio to deliver what he called ‘massive news’.
Yet bizarrely, he failed to speak on the future of Blues within the first 15 minutes of the interview.
Birmingham Live described it to being a car-crash of an interview that went off on multiple tangents with Jim White trying to bring Bassini back to topic instead of getting into an argument with Simon Jordan.
The former Watford chairman, described as a club killer, claimed that he is still very much the front-runner to takeover Birmingham and that he hopes to have full charge of the club within the next week or two.
Not only did he say that, but he added the club was ‘going to win the league’ during his time St Andrew’s and will stay there for as long as it takes instead of the two years he said last time he was on talkSPORT.
🏆 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗶: “I’m going to win the league!”
🤨 𝗝𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗮𝗻: “The Village Idiot league?”
😡 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗶: “SIMON!”

“I’ve sent 30 million pounds to the lawyer who has sent it directly to the owners of Birmingham City,” he said.
“I’m also going to put 70 to 80 to 100 million [more into the club].
“I’m going to show you all, I’m going to show all you lot, I’m going to win the league.
“I’m going to [buy the club for] 35 to 40 million. I’m going to clear the debts that are there and I’m going to straighten things out.
“Keith Harris can’t be on the board because he’s a dishonest man.
“I would like to be there [in the club] in the next week or two getting things sorted.
“The reason for the delay is I’ve got to change chairman and I’m not going to stay there for three years like I said initially, I’m going to stay there for as long as it takes.”

@twelvty: Let’s face it @BCFC heading for League One and administration so if takeover happens it will be premier league or bust. So whatever happens I would much rather go into admin and league one after some fun as opposed to this mindless surrender route courtesy of #BSHLOUT #BCFC
