    Bury have been given until noon on Monday to prove they can repay their debts or face having their opening match of the new Sky Bet League One season against MK Dons suspended https://www-skysports-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/11774/11771414/burys-opening-day-league-one-game-against-mk-dons-in-serious-doubt?amp_js_v=a2&amp_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQCCAA%3D#referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.skysports.com%2Ffootball%2Fnews%2F11774%2F11771414%2Fburys-opening-day-league-one-game-against-mk-dons-in-serious-doubt

    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.

    Agree have always enjoyed my visits to Bury
    However I think they will survive something will happen to enable them to complete at least this seasons fixtures
    My only hope is that other clubs (ourselves included) take note from their plight and learn from the mistakes that everyone saw coming
    Football at this level should be more about the game rather than a deluded entrepreneur thinking they can make millions from it

    Bury was fairly obvious, so was Bolton. The FL has to ratify transfers. Why was Doidge allowed to go through? Why were Bury allowed to sign players by selling off the ground etc. Maybe they have to have proof of funds when signing players

    See is that not actually the problem. Everything is too focused on being successful as a football team rather than being run as a good business. There is enough money in the game for clubs to be stable and the owners to get a decent return on their investment if its run sensibly but very few clubs are. I can understand its hard for owners as not only is there that idea that if they spend now and get to the PL quickly there is endless amounts of cash (which there isn't as even most PL teams overspend just to try and stay in the PL) BUT also you have the fans who generally don't care about the financial stability of a club until the clubs about to fold so the owners have pressure to keep spending more.

    It's a big reason why we needed FFP regulations in football and much sooner than we got them. It's just a shame that not least because the whole world isn't on the same page there hasn't been a really good way of handling them and certainly not a good way to punish teams for overspending (Fines are pointless, either you are a man city where the fine is pocket change to the owners or it pushes a club further into financial trouble. Docking points is also counterproductive as its likely to put them in a worse situation), even something like a transfer ban doesn't make sense as it encourages the situation where they intentionally spend big one season so any ban that comes doesn't matter as we saw when the big Spanish teams all got transfer bans for their illegal youth signings. Just overspend by buying 2 seasons worth of players and a ban doesn't matter

    Bury have to meet all the EFL's outstanding requirements by 23 August 2019 or they will be thrown out of the league:

    Could this potentially mean 5 go up from League 2?

    As bad as it is for Bury this would be very good news for us.
