If this excuse of a human being tries it on with Birmingham as he did with us, the Zulus will quickly wish he never set foot in the second city.

It's impressive that he could get himself another CEO position at a top football league club. Ignoring the money that he took/earned etc. he was incompetent. He didn't speak well and, clearly, didn't know what he was doing.
You, almost, have to respect the man for getting himself another chance to run a club.
I have never liked Birmingham and so he and the club are a good fit as far as I’m concerned. No doubt he will walk away a lot richer and they will end up worse off.

I’m still amazed that the EFL never investigated the Sheikh, Southall and the Manc lawyer in terms of the use of club funds for their personal benefit.
The man is full of bull**** and the potential new owner can’t have completed any due diligence on him.

He says he is a personal friend and has known him for ten years so assume he must know all about him and is prepared to take the risk.........and the consequences. |

The Zulu warriors would chase him all the way back to New Street and out of town for good if he gets up to his old tricks.

How exactly does life work? Southall is a clear and obvious chancer and even prides himself on being one.
At a pinch I could understand that he blagged his way onto the board of one football club, but to repeat the trick after making a complete horlicks at the role and swindling a fair amount of cash out of it is just incomprehensible.
I like to think I could pull off the part of a know nothing f#£kwit with a ridiculously high opinon of himself, but you wouldn't give a guy like me admin rights, let alone a highly paid role at not one, but two professional football clubs.

I certainly bear Birmingham no ill will after they treated three poor Charlton fans to a great day out a few years ago. They even gave me the parking space next to David Gold's golden Rolls Royce. And their manager gave us the best day out in many a year. Yet this has all the hallmarks of What is wrong with football. If Southall is a good friend, interested to see his enemies.
KHA has a point though - there has to be a grudging respect for someone who can snake his way into another CEO job like that.

If you’re expecting to sail close to the wind you probably want someone willing to tack there with you. Southall’s involvement tells us a lot about Birmingham’s prospective new owner. That’s not likely to be good news for Blues fans. Southall has very recently informed Rochdale that he’s no longer interested in acquiring a stake in their club so he’s simply jumped from one controversial intended takeover to another. It will end in tears at Brum too. The only question is how long it will take. |

This is making me wonder whether David Sullivan had any financial interest in the goings-on of a few years ago.
Bassini charged Southall a fee which Southall transferred to the club as a liability and then Bassini was linked to the club.
Was Sullivan possibly the source of the unidentified cash paid in and part of the overall plan?

Sorry if I have misunderstood. I don't believe any cash was injected into the club during the ESI ownership period. |

To push up to that level requires both hard cash and technical excellence as per Brentford. Southall is as far from getting a role at Brentford as you and I, probably further. And will charge Birmingham for his "services". We should expect relegation to follow. |

Bassini charged Southall a fee which Southall transferred to the club as a liability and then Bassini was linked to the club. Was Sullivan possibly the source of the unidentified cash paid in and part of the overall plan? I think it was a case that Southall tried to 'novate' his liabilities to Bassini onto the club, but for whatever reason failed to do so. Southall, no doubt, probably told Bassini that he had passed those charges on. Hence Bassini's threatened court actions against the club. I'm sure someone from the Charlton Dossier will confirm. In any case, it's hardly likely that Bassini would sue his old mate Southall. |

Not necessarily … there is no honour amongst thieves and it may be that both the Bassini and the new bidders are both looking to asset strip Brum. It appears that Bassini lost this particular race. |

Sullivan is said to be bankrolling Bassini at Birmingham so I am simply wondering, with no evidence at all, whether Sullivan had any involvement with ESI at any point. |

Sullivan is said to be bankrolling Bassini at Birmingham so I am simply wondering, with no evidence at all, whether Sullivan had any involvement with ESI at any point. OK. Thanks. As wellingaddick explained, Bassini invoiced Southall for some advice he provided, and/or for a finders fee, in respect of ESI’s takeover of CAFC which either Southall attempted to novate to CAFC or which Bassini decided to forward to CAFC for payment. I don’t believe the Charlton dossier found any other connection to Bassini and certainly none to Sullivan, though I guess you never know. Bassini appears to be a witless fantasist with zero self-awareness. I’m not sure how much of his Birmingham takeover nonsense we should take seriously. Southall’s prospective role at Birmingham is with another buyer, not Bassini. |

Mmm anyone can form and own a business and from this anyone can call themselves a businessman or a Managing Director/CEO. However every year there are huge number of businesses that go into administration ru n into the ground by hapless ‘businessmen’ who don’t know diddly squat. Therefore you need to add successful to the term businessman to gain any respect and the likes of Mouthall and Bassini certainly do not come into this classification! |
