Is the guy at the EFL setting these deadlines the same one that sets our early bird ST deadlines?

 

Really heartbreaking for their supporters and staff. I hope the fans can get together and reform a club they can get behind. For many, the saturday ritual is massively important, and it’s gone, just like that.

 

Might sound harsh. Great news about someone potentially taking the club over and providing a club for the community. However, I don't think they should be reinstated at League 1 level and just pretend that nothing ever happened. The EFL would look weak imo. Bury didn't meet the guidelines so they've received the punishment required. I think they have to stand by their decision and Bury should work their socks off from the bottom tier like other clubs have in recent times.

 

Aren't they playing at level 9 or something, I would be pleased to see them back, proper community club ....

 

I think Bolton will survive and be fine long term, unfortunately I think Bury are finished which is a big shame I’ve always enjoyed my visits there.

 

was it back on C&B where a lot of people expressed concern about where they were heading. Didn't they sell lifelong parking spaces as well? As Wilsden says. always enjoyed the visits, always like the people too.

 

Of course Bolton will when the PFA bail them out yet again.
Remind me again who Gordon Taylor played for

 

I remember their fans going wild on social media with all them signings 2 years ago....

They didnt seem to mind at the time...

 

Anyone catch the explosive interview today on Talksport with Steven Dale and team captain Steven Dawson? Would love to know the truth!

 

I know who my moneys on there to tell the truth and it isn't Steve Dale. Just a quick look through Dale's business history tells you everything you need to know about this conman.

Different owner, he bought it for a pound, and thought he could re-finance through a CVA, then flog it on, basically a chancer

 

Bury fans should register Gigg Lane as an asset of community value if they haven't already. It recalls a painful memory from the past. My Dad used to take us occasionally to see Chelmsford City. In the days when you had to seek election to the league despite winning the Southern League as it was then, the chairman actively campaigned amongst football league chairmen not to vote for us. Wimbledon got elected to the league instead and he promptly sold the ground for housing. Despicable. I am sure this was Dale's sole purpose in buying the club for £1 and why he has not been paying wages. He is a crook.

Edit: Just checked and Gigg Lane is registered. He will struggle for planning permission in the short term. The supporters would need to find the money to buy it though, not too easy.

 

My daughter's fiancee, Josh Hill, played CB for Chelmsford in the second half of the 2017/18 season. He shored up their defence and they raced into the playoffs. They got to the final against Ebbsfleet (featuring Aaron McLean, goal machine, who looked useless as ever). On the morning of the final the manager inexplicably dropped Josh from the settled defence and brought in a returning club favourite CB who'd just come back from a long injury, " for experience", despite Josh having played in two previous playoff finals at that level. They lost to two headers that Josh would have defended in his sleep. C'est la vie.

 

I saw her on Sky News, pleading for somebody to come and help them, in particular Man City, Man United and Liverpool. I was embarrassed for her, but admired her determination to save her club even if it meant begging for funds from the super rich clubs.

It is dreadful how Bury and Bolton are just disintegrating before our eyes. We have had our fair share of that, and watching it brings back all the anxiety. I don’t rate Bolton’s chances either now Parky has gone he was holding the playing side together, but he has had enough.

 

Maybe the Neville's should get involved? Aren't they local lads and their dad worked there didn't he? Neville Neville.

 

So Dale, with 7 hours till the EFL deadline is begging for pledges of £2.7m, having had the last few months to prove to the EFL that he had the funds to run the club. I fear this is the end for them as Dale just seems to be looking at walking away with a pot of cash.

As for should the Neville's stump up? Why? Why should they pump money into a company they don't own so that someone like Dale gets the benefit. Unless Dale goes, and goes for the £1 he put in, as wages haven't been paid by him they have been paid by the PFA and loads of others have been screwed in the CVA where Dale appears to have been able to push the vote through (go look on companies house about the CVA for Bury football club) then why should anyone put anything in whilst he is still there or is set to make a return on holding a club to ransom.

 

Who defines misspending though ? or when is a gamble a gamble and not an investment ?
