Jordan reveals furious message from Bassini after bizarre talkSPORT interview

talksport.com, 9 July 2022, 11:12
talkSPORT pundit Simon Jordan has revealed an expletive-laden message sent by Laurence Bassini after the prospective Birmingham buyer's wild interview on Friday.

The British businessman joined talkSPORT to provide new information on his attempts to take over at St Andrew's - but the call descended into chaos.

Bassini eventually disclosed a £30million bid to buy the Championship club and promised to win the league with up to £100m of extra investment.

However, the 52-year-old spent the majority of his time on-air taking aim at ex-Crystal Palace owner Jordan, who has been critical of the former Watford chief and called him an 'odd one' during a talkSPORT appearance last month.

Bassini challenged Jordan to a fight, with Tyson Fury as his coach, and continued the spat off-air in a furious message forwarded onto the talkSPORT pundit.

"Tell Jordan I want to fight him in the boxing ring £1,000,000 for charity," the message read.

"Tell that c*** when I return to the UK I am going to give him a good hiding. Tell that c*** that he can take this text to the police because I will even go into the police station and give him the hiding he deserves."

The message surfaced after being tweeted out by Jordan himself - and the ex-Palace owner duly dismissed it.

Jordan said: "Following on from the insightful drivel from the intellectually challenged Bassini, he wanted to pass this message onto me. Good luck Birmingham City fans.

"By the way - Laurence is more suited to a circus ring than boxing ring. Given I'm not 12, I won't be taking him up on his offer."
