2-1... You're looking safe. Yep, safe. Rotherham relegated. Feel sorry for them, they have really fought hard in recent games but don't have the quality. They look like they tried to defend the 1-0 lead today and that is always a bad idea. As for us, we need to get rid of some dead wood close season and bring in a few new faces. Try to get to a halfway club level. That's the best we can ever hope for given the way the leagues apply the revenues they have.

Brentford saying this morning there is still no date for a rearranged game with Bolton.
The Championship season ends this Sunday.
I'm assuming if Bolton don't fulfill the Brentford fixture before then, they get kicked out, and their results 'expunged' from the table then.
Anyone know if that's correct 🤷

The EFL are saying Bolton can play their academy side to fulfill the fixture.
That is absolutely appalling... asking kids to break a strike by their own senior team-mates, and effectively cross a picket line ☹️
If Bolton do that, they will have sunk lower than the low.

It's a clusterfuck.

Bassini - A Watford viewpoint....

Hi to you all,
I hope you don’t mind me infiltrating your forum but felt almost compelled to do so after watching Mr Bassini’s SSN interview.
I cannot speak too much about Ken Anderson. I don’t know all the ‘ins and outs’ of what he has done to your club, except from what I have read from on this forum. He sounds like a very unsavoury character indeed...
But what I can speak about is Laurence Bassini. And I will try and say nothing libellous but rather just what is known by us Watford fans, what had been proved by courts of law and the general outlook of the man by our fans.
He is simply not to be trusted. Can I say he will be worse than Anderson? No. Because I don’t know Anderson’s every action. But I can assuredly tell you he won’t be better. He’s no ‘white knight’, he’s not even a ‘grey knight’. He is 100% a very dark cloud waiting to loom over your club. Shaun Harvey is a disgrace to even allow him back in football. The man willingly took us to the wall and then complained when the club was forcibly taken from him to save its future.
Saying he’s had bids of £20m already? He said that to us. It was false.
Saying he had funds ready? False.
Shirts with names on? Done already.
Trying to sue directors? Done. Failed.
Had directors sue him? Done. Successful.
He didn’t ‘leave’ Watford ready for the PL. Don’t expect or even hope for the same for Bolton. My suspicion is that he is in this to somehow sell off the stadium and the land it’s on - if that’s possible.
And the last bit is merely just my opinion - but I feel sorry for him...to an extent. I believe he is ill. He’s a fantasist. And Anderson is playing him like a fiddle. But he literally has nothing to back up his claims. Why does he suddenly have a rich family which he didn’t have whilst at Watford? Why would his brother send him £1m at the drop of a hat when Bassini has been declared bankrupt twice? How has he managed to build up a supposed pot of millions so soon after being declared bankrupt? When he lost in court against 2 WFC directors, why did his rich family not bail him out then?
Too many questions, not enough answers.
I really feel for you. But Bassini is not the answer. And if you get him, I fear the worst.
He has no sense of care for your club. He said the same to us. No one believed him then and you’d be fools to now. You only have to google ‘Bassini texts Watford Observer’ to see the character of the man. He sent gloating texts to the local sports editor when we lost the playoff final wishing for the club’s demise. He quotes that your club has ‘wonderful people’. Believe me when I say he has none of your interests at heart. Or even in mind.
I don’t say this lightly and I know it’s easy to say after the event of being saved by our current owners and our subsequent success - but if they hadn’t come along, I would rather have gone to the wall and supported a new Phoenix iteration of Watford than support a Watford he was involved with. He’s that bad. There is nothing positive he will bring you.
