If it wasnt my love and affection for football and this club, I wouldnt be coming back, Bassini said in an exclusive interview with talkSPORT.I think Bolton is a great, great club. I looked at it two years ago before Mr Anderson.“Theyre a great club and they deserve more. I think they have the potential to return to the top.Current owner Anderson bought a stake in the club during that buyout and took majority control in 2017 after Sports Shield went into liquidation. The clubs playerswent on strike for the second time in a year after staff were not paid in March.It is the second month in a row that Bolton employees have not been paid on time.Their relegation to League One appears inevitable as they are 10 points adrift with four games to go.If results go against them on Friday their relegation will be confirmed.
