Yeah do they have any decent creative midfielders and left backs?What's happening with their players/staff, do they currently have a full squad that aren't getting paid?

Especially Bury. I remember in the great promotion campaign we hammered them 4-1 I think at their place to go up and put them down live on TV. Next night Giggs scored a goal against Arsenal that was nearly as good as Phillips's that people still rave about.It's pretty horrendous just watching a club die in slow motion, knowing its entirely preventable.

It transpired that Bury were in a crisis, so Sunderland fans dug deep. When I left IBM four years ago I didn't find the letter in the drawer from Neville Neville (Gary's dad), Finance Director. Sad.
I seem to remember a number of RTGers used to go to Bury games to bolster crowds and income.
The crowd used to get on manager Neil Warnock's back. While Bury fans were shouting obscenities at him, one of ours was shouting, "Oy, Warnock, what's the square root of pi?"
Was 5-2, Phillips got four including a first half hat trick, but what a great night. I was on the pitch a few times, pure jubilation.
What great times.
I was thinking along similar lines, almost like administration from the footballing side. Allow a team from the FA to step in to take control of all the footballing side and pay players a reasonable wage and get them out on the pitch. The owners would not be able to make profit from this in terms of gate receipts, TV money, advertising etc.Surely The FA should look at this and learn from this for the future.
When a club is sold The FA should have a contract stating that if this type of situation arises again that the owner can be stripped of assests such as the ground and training ground. Then they can facilitate with a fans group/new owners and get the club running again
.
Obviously this is easier said than done!
Bolton away is the 21st SeptemberI'm glad we're not due to play either side until Christmas time.
The thing with a pet is that you know it is never going to get better. Bury is over 130 years old and have been part of the football league since the early days, almost as long as us. While never one of the greats, they have passionate fans brought up on generations of following their club.I do feel for the fans, but it's beyond a joke. It's like having a pet who's riddled with illness and although you want to keep it, you know it's best to have it put down.
He's a charlatan, he will probably claim the secretary buggered off and didn't tell him the password to the computer or summat just watch! Should be given his pound back booted out by the EFL as an improper owner and the club put up for auction and see who is actually interested.He's bought the club for a quid and not provided proof of funds to the EFL after 6 months of ownership. He was in the radio last week and namechecked the club Secretary as being able to provide proof of funds and wages. The Secretary resigned the next day.
I agree with that and I've said previously it's not just a football club, but a whole community. The thing now though, is how much longer can this go on? It's making a mockery of the league. Something has to be done one way or another.The thing with a pet is that you know it is never going to get better.

Allowing a club like Bury to go out of existence because of a few years of bad management would be a travesty for the football league. There is something unique and special about a football club. The name, the history, the passion and the connection with the local area is perhaps the most important thing for a club, but it is not an asset, you can't buy it or wrap it in a box. It literally is the life of a club and fans of that club should not be turned into football zombies because one nutter saw a chance for a few quid and spent a few years f***ing up a club.
They are going through a bad time now, but have the capacity to fall back and regroup. What is Bury FC and what it means to the fans can be kept going.
Rochdale are an example of how you can do it properly with a small club at this level. Local businessmen running their club the old-fashioned way, and all the better for it.
At that level yes.
If they were promoted any higher than League 1, they'd need more finance to survive.
Burnley are a better example.
PFA are paying the footballers.

It is difficult. I like what @Fulwell Mackem said earlier in the thread about finding ways of taking ownership off someone. But, it is not like taking someones car. There are many components and liabilities that make up a football club. What about the ground, what about the staff, what about the responsibility for paying them etc? There is something to be learned from this as I can't recall this ever happening at such high level clubs, so certainly not two at the same time. If the owners could be frozen out of the picture for a while and the players paid an average or at least basic wage for the league for a period of 3 months, then that would hopefully get the team playing again, keep the league operating and give the FA time to assess if the club can be kept running. That might be a new owner or a fan consortium.I agree with that and I've said previously it's not just a football club, but a whole community. The thing now though, is how much longer can this go on? It's making a mockery of the league. Something has to be done one way or another.
Beckford and Leon Clarke were on plenty tooHeard a story that Vaughan was on £20k pw at Bury when he joined us
This ffs, how much longer are they just going to allow them and Bolton to just keep cancelling games?Getting on my nerves. Just boot them out.
Interesting comment in the EFL statement yesterday. It mentioned them being expelled on Friday if they can’t prove funds then having to rejoin ‘lower down the pyramid’. I’d have expected them say start again at the bottom of the pyramid.
Might just be poor choice of words but I wonder if they are leaving the door open for them to rejoin at conference or even L2 level if they get sorted after being expelled?
