I mentioned this bloke on another thread.....He was owner of Watford between 2011 and 2012 and ran us in to the ground in just a year. It got so bad that apparently staff members hid the keys to the club safe from him, so he couldnt get his hands on any more cash!! He lives in his own little world, sadly Birmingham City look like they are being dragged in to it....be afraid Blues fans.....be very afraid!
How to tell when a Manchester United fan isn't from Manchester: they think their owners are amongst the worst even though the Manchester borough alone contains Oldham, Bolton, Stockport [old regime] and Bury. Oh and a stone's throw from Macclesfield too.
@@Matthew-bu7fg actually from Stockport mate, born in Stepping Hill. Didn't say they were the worst but they are not good owners. And I worked at Stockport County for a few years from 2008 and around the buy a brick for a pound fiasco so I think I probably have a good understanding of how bad it can be for a football club. Family were originally from Salford so grew up as a United fan before you also come out with "yOu ShoUld SuppORt CoUntY"
That sounded like a man that wasnât âall thereâ to me. For the sake of BCFC fans I hope a football governing body do a mental health check on him before heâs allowed anywhere near a football club
Listen to the full thing live earlier and he sounded pissed up to me. The bit in the middle trying to prove his assets/financial status to live radio reeks of desperation. Id be very worried if I was a brum fan
That's what I thought. He sounds like a bloke that you and your mates would go 'ah bless him'. Unfortunately for him, people like that shouldn't be running football clubs.
@@dom1664 Because their not mentally fit to be in charge of such a big operation. Their cognitive skills are inferior to the majority of people, particularly those involved in football. Put simply, it would be like leading the lamb to the slaughter.

Was this guy high or what... absolute clown. Surely this interview can be used to the FA so we can make sure he never ever passes the fit and proper owners test.

Simon, Simon, SimonâŠ.. Simon! Let me tell youâŠ. Simon! No! Simon! SimonâŠ. Hang on! Simon! Let me tell youâŠ.. SIMON!!!! This guy is perfect for Birmingham City đ€Ł
This phone call makes me so happy to support Exeter City (supporter owned). We may not have as many financial resources or flexibility, but we avoid situations like this which are unfortunately so common in the football world. I would be absolutely terrified to have this guy as our owner. He sounds genuinely mentally unhinged.
I just want say . Well, to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say.
Laurence Bassini the man who once called the Police because an employee at Watford FC "Wouldn't hand him the key to the club's safe." đđđđđđđđđđđđ
This guy is what I need when I want to stretch a single sentence into a 3000 words essay.

I laughed my ass off my bed when he said that too...
He's a fool
