Hopefully is the operative word, it called however be a case of to little to late

Initially thats what i thought, but i read last night there's a clause (a covenant?) which goes with the land stating it can only be used for sport. So a housing development wouldnt be allowed

Mebbes HE didn’t do his due dilligance properly anarl?

Or too little, too late, rather.

Maybe new owners should have to pay a deposit to the football league before they take over a club. Something like £10m. Then if the club do hit hard times the FL can step in a run the club with the deposit money until a new owner can be found.

That’d require the current owners to vote for it and their clubs would immediately become a lot more difficult to sell. Which is why they won’t vote for it.

On breakfast this morning saying man City and Utd will lend them their promising youngsters so might have a much better team ! How does that work other teams paying wages of bury players ??

Fairly common with loans, certainly for part of the wages

I am sure I read he still has not completed the checks. Not really sure how he was able to buy the club

The EFL didn't look into it as closely as they would have, as Bury were going bust. No excuse but thats what happened

Imagine if that bunch of young'uns clicked as a team and they went and got promoted.
Unlikely i know, but not impossible.

CEO of efl was adamant on five live yesterday, that whilst it was before her tenure ALL checks were carried out correctly.

Bolton didn’t do well with theirs.

True enough, and as i say very unlikely, but these would be Manc youngsters not Bolton. (class of 92 etc).

I knaa its not gonna happen.

 

[Spartan]

as long as they cough up the 6 points to us then good luck to 'em ..

they should sign a load of free kids and use this season as practice for a good go at League 2

Mind, they're minus 12 points and have a right back log of games.

I got that information from an article in the Sun yesterday. It sounded plausible when you see his track record.

 

[bahtat]

Well either the CEO of the EFL iS lying or the Sun is, take your pick but I know who’s more likely to be correct

 

[Spartan]

doubt they'll be going on any cup runs ! The EFL Trophy will be even more of a pain in the arse for them than it already is for everyone else

 

[Mackem Tommy]

I think it's fairly inevitable they get relegated this season but you'd hope that the slingshot effect of a takeover would get the fans right behind the club and get them back over the next few years.

Not too much unlike what happened here, except y'know, get promoted.

 

[bahtat]

Gone 10 o’clock and no announcement from EFL, have to assume they are taking this latest bid seriously and therefore there is some hope for Bury fans

Bolton have a very very good crop of youngsters.
