Simon Jordan has told talkSPORT he is still very doubtful about Laurence Bassinis credibility, despite the prospective Bolton owner insisting he has only good intentions for the in-crisis club.Former Crystal Palace chairman Jordan has been vocal about his suspicions of twice-bankrupted Bassini, whose proposed takeover of Bolton has yet to come into fruition.When the British businessman emerged as a candidate to purchase the club from derided owner Ken Anderson, Jordan said Bolton fans would have an even bigger problem with Bassini in charge.
2BASSINI’S BOLTON TAKEOVER:
- EXCLUSIVE: Bolton buyer vows to lead club back to the Premier League
- Bassini’s Bolton claims a bag of nonsense, claims Simon Jordan
- Bassini wont have Bolton’s best interests in mind just ask Watford fans
But Jordan is still not convinced, despite Bassini calling the talkSPORT pundit in an attempt to clear the air.Speaking to Jim White on Wednesday, Jordan said: As you know, I know Laurence and have certain views about Laurence that I shared a few weeks ago that were very condemnatory and judgemental, about Bolton jumping out of the frying pan with Ken Anderson and into the fire with Bassini.Laurence phoned me the following week to say, I dont want any bad blood between us, I have serious intentions with Bolton and I have the means and wherewithal to do it.I dont think the fact hes been twice bankrupt is relevant, because some very successful businessmen have been up and down and its not being down, its coming up again thats important.But, Im still very doubtful to Laurences credibility, credentials and financial wherewithal.
"Surely he behaves in a way which tells everyone he cannot be trusted.""Bassini has been given every chance to prove he is the man.""It's time for the EFL to say no." @JimWhite says the EFL should block Laurence Bassini's bid to #BWFC.Do you agree? pic.twitter.com/NX31yovMv0— talkSPORT (@talkSPORT) May 1, 2019Im perplexed that Laurence has put himself in this situation.If you walk into any environment and you say youre going to do something [referencing his promise to pay the players wages] and then subsequently dont do it, you put yourself in an invidious position where people will question your credibility.Hes had enough questioning over his credentials, because hes been interrogated about how many times hed been bankrupt and hes got the stigma with what happened to him at Watford.He was very keen to impress upon me that my judgement of him was wrong and that he would prove to be somebody the Bolton fans would want, someone who is committed to the club, would will drag them up and write out cheques to take them forward, which he said himself.To now be in a situation where Laurence is seemingly making statements about transferring money and making a commitment to players, it makes it look like a very unpalatable and unsatisfying situation.
