Laurence Bassini faces make or break deadline to complete Birmingham takeover

Laurence Bassini has been told to put up or shut up by Birmingham where he faces a final deadline this week to complete his proposed buy-out.

Former Watford chairman Bassini, who was declared bankrupt in the past, has previously unsuccessfully tried to take over Oldham,Charlton and Bolton. He has been on the trail of Championship Brum since last year when his interest was revealed.

Now Birmingham might soon be added to the list of failed attempts as Bassini battles to pay up. City’s owners are very restless as Bassini is still to yet buy-out their largest shareholder ,Vong Pech, who has agreed to sell his 21.64% stake with the backing of the club’s board.
