Tell u what is a joke... Both Bury and Bolton are only 10-15 miles from a club who just paid £85M for a defender... A fraction of the fee could save both football clubs... Football is fooked

I agree with him. This has been coming for a good while I reckon.
Colin Bell, what a great player he was.

But they have two distinct owners who are just playing at it... The Bolton situation should never have been allowed to develop by the to where it currently is... They are in Administration (I believe) and cannot meet their obligations. If they cannot field a team in a competition ,which League one is, then they should be slung out, no matter what there standing is/was or could be, and rightly so. Both clubs are subject to FA Charter Standard League rules and regulations.

This dispute is all about wether they are fit to continue with their football league membership or not and FA are not involved in that decision, the fa can not tell efl wether they should be in the efl or not let alone which league they should be in, it’s all down to efl management board and or the efl member clubs, if efl do expel them then fa will become involved in deciding which level of the non league pyramid they start next season in
Trying to remember if he played at Roker in 1973

Fair point, its sad to see great clubs going this way... In the event they get rescued there needs to be better legislation to prevent owners taking the piss borrowing astronomical amounts against club assets.

Had a great restaurant as well with Colin Waldron after he retired which he could usually be found working in.
Can you imagine somebody with his ability grafting in a restaurant after retirement these days
Something needs to change if we want to keep the smaller club going. Not sure what that is but personally I'd like to see all clubs restricted to how many players they can take into their academies on an annual basis. It's just a numbers game to them now, hoover up hundreds of kids in the hope one comes through. There is no talent left for the smaller clubs to develop, nurture and hopefully turn a profit on.
I think ultimately rules will be relaxed and some of these smaller clubs with become feeders for the bigger clubs. Bury will just become City or United's U23 team with players contracted there for the season and the proviso that they can never be promoted to the same league as their parent club. These clubs will lose their identities but the big boys get what they want now.
Why should they though? Man Utd's income is as a result of the success they have achieved. Whatever the reason Bury and Bolton are in financial trouble it is neither the fault of nor the problem for Manchetser United or any other team. Sunderland are solvent these days, should we donate our transfer fund to them so they can keep going?

You're right... It's not Man United problem but the successful running (financially) of all clubs should be a concern for all clubs... Man u can spend as they see fit... But I'm sure they used to use Gigg Lane for reserve games & have nurtured talent sending their youth players to such teams like Bury. I'm sure talent from small teams (ie Bury) have been bought by big clubs for small free and moved on at an inflated rate... All clubs are important to communities; even if they're ran by tyrants.

and when they used gogg lane they paid for it. and man utd have probably been responsible for more cash going into bury in the past year than any owner, via premier league solidarity payments

As previously mentioned, when one or both of these clubs finally go bust, it will open the floodgates and several more will follow in quick succession IMO
It will be the same as British retail when they all came tumbling down as soon as Woolworth's went. Real shame

Further @buryfcofficial game postponed and club kicked out of EFL Cup. Plus a last warning: “If a solution is not found by the deadline, the Board will authorise the necessary share transfer on behalf of Bury FC and result in the Club no longer being a member of the League.
”Should this happen, @buryfcofficial record from 19/20 season would be expunged with L1 consisting of 23 Clubs for remainder of campaign + number of relegation places reduced to 3 at conclusion of 2019/20 season. 4 promotion places would remain from L2.”
That's from BBC's Simon Stone who covers Manchester teams heavily

Full EFL statement here...
It mentions them restarting again next season further down the pyramid, and tbh that’s looking like a real possibility now.

Should be the same for Bolton Wanderers too.
It should be a concern for the governing bodies

That chairman is a charlatan. Just hope he doesn't have his eyes on the sale of the ground and the cash from it.
