bury fc might be kick out of football

[michael21]

There not played any games so far :amazed:

[Mystic Mock]

At this point I honestly think that the Bury fans need to get a Consortium together to try and save the club as it's looking quite bleak for a business person to takeover the club.

It need to happen soon before it to late

:fc: That somebody comes in and saves them.

[Mystic Mock]

Has there been any reports of a takeover yet?

There's only 3 more days left to save them from expulsion, but I was just wondering if anyone has heard any good news about a possible change in fortune?

I haven’t heard any news regarding this so far but it isn’t looking good. I doubt a buyer is going to come forward tbh, apparently Steve Dale has kept potential buyers waiting for information. Also some players haven’t been paid for almost 5 months?

It looks like Bolton are heading down the same route as well. I think both teams have games that are called off tonight.

Okay, thanks for the update.

It is crazy how the EFL nor the FA are leaving two big teams in such a bad state and aren't trying to get the clubs off the owners.

[Denver]

I would not call Bury a big team

Well they're quite an old team that's been in the Football League for a very long time, and they have a big fanbase.

Established in 1885, I hope they can be saved somehow

Bury is a **** hole. I'm further appalled every time I catch the metrolink there

[MTVN]

Their own fault tbh for going beyond their means in order to get promoted last season and depriving someone else of their league 1 spot

[The Slim Reaper]

Just get rid of united, and replace them with greater Manchester's' sleeping giant.

[Alf]

Bury is a **** hole. I'm further appalled every time I catch the metrolink thereBury produces a lot of soap stars. The likes of Helen Flanagan, Gemma Atkinson, Charley Webb, Suzanne Shaw, Georgia May Foote and others all hail from Bury.

They must have an acting school nearby

I agree with you that Steve Dale shouldn't have spent money that he nor the club really had as look at what chasing promotion has done to the team this season.

I can't help but feel sorry for the fans though as it could easily be Blues in that situation, it's awful for the fans.

[bots]

The owner has had the opportunity to sell, so it could all have been avoided, he is just holding out for a better offer. Only one person to blame and as it's his club he can do as he wants

I went to school in Bury....I know Lisa Riley from there. They all started off going.to Oldham Theatre workshop, they have produced a lot.of soap stars.

Anyway, it will be a shame if the club shuts due to mismanagment but if someone is allowed to buy a club for £1, it doesn't show much financial commitment in the first place

[AnnieK]

Bury has some lovely parts....like everywhere it has its problems but there's a lot.of history there....plus its home of the world famous Bury Black Pudding!!

People like that should never be allowed to buy a Club, he obviously couldn't care less about the Club or the fans, its all about the cash, this could happen to any Club so if it goes under a precedent will have been set

[bots]

A deal will probably be done before the deadline

[Nicky91]

if there is any justice, then they should get new owners since this club exists for so long already, i guess they belong to the FA's hall of fame

if they get kicked out, i think it might upset a lot of people in Bury :(

I agree with you 100%

Thankfully Sky Sports News have said that four parties are interested in buying the club so hopefully Steve Dale will accept one of these offers.

[Denver]

So apparently the owner wants almost £1m plus £1.5m paid of a debt that stands around £9m

No wonder nobody has brought the club

The club's current and former players, and other football creditors, are owed approximately £1m, Dale recently engineered a debt repayment deal to pay off 25 per cent of the club's unsecured debt of nearly £9million and there are three outstanding charges over the club and Gigg Lane, not to mention the matter of a covenant on the ground that means it must be used for sporting purposes.

[bots]

it will need someone with pretty deep pockets to take it on and as a club it just doesn't have the flair to attract many investors with deep pockets. It really needs to be someone local which narrows the options a lot. I think the 4 interested party's will mostly disappear .... but who knows

It's a shame Neville brother's can't help....their Dad was a big supporter and previous Director of Bury and saved it last time it was in trouble but I think their ownership of Salford would stop them.

I dont know how such a small club can get so deep into debt? Like you could kinda understand the Bolton over spending but when you are a club with a small fanbase and not bringing much money in you should be spending within you means not overspending.

I am sure I read somewhere that the owner has had links to 20 odd businesses that went into liquidation which is worrying to start with.

I honestly don't see Bury staying in the football league regardless of what happens but they should try and not dissolve the team

if they get kicked out of the football league, it will be a huge blow of the credibility of that competition

and also not even wanting to invest in a football team this old, loads of club history, to the lots of loyal supporters it feels disrespectful


where fake teams with the Dubai people continue to stay top level and cheat themselves to championship titles :idc:

Bury owner Steve Dale is asking members of the public to pledge money as the League One club bids to avoid expulsion from the English Football League.

The Shakers must provide evidence to the EFL that they can pay off creditors and have the funding needed to survive the season by 23:59 BST on Friday.

The 134-year-old side have had their first six 2019-20 fixtures suspended.

The EFL says it is "working tirelessly to achieve a solution" and has not ruled out a short extension.

"We've gone to the public and we've said: 'If you want to save a football club, make a pledge to the club - not me,'" Dale told BBC Radio Manchester.

"Once we're up to the amount the EFL says we need with projections, we can go back to them and say it's nothing to do with me, there's £2m, £3m, whatever it is, from genuine people who'll pledge to the club."

A bid has been accepted and the deal will go through subject to EFL approval

[Dogeatdog]

It’s being reported that a sale of the club has been agreed. Apparently Alastair Campbell’s son is buying the club?

I think it still needs to be approved by the EFL first but if it all goes well, I’m glad the club has finally been saved especially for the staff and players sake.

I think it would’ve just depended more on whether he can prove he has sufficient funds to take the club over (which according to the link he has done so already) and clear some of the debt?

[Mystic Mock]

That's great news if the EFL approves the deal.

[Denver]

They have granted an extension to 5pm Tuesday to complete a sale

I know that the Manchester clubs have allowed the Bury players to train at their facilities.

But I do agree with you that it would be good PR if the Premier League teams helped out Bolton and Bury.

[Denver]

Because it would be classed as owning 2 clubs which isnt allowed

No owners are not allowed to be involved in finances of any other English teams

The takeover is off and they have just over an hour to find a new buyer to conclude the deal

Damn it is very hard to try and do things illegally when trying to help out another club.

It doesn't matter anymore as sadly Bury's deal fell through and the main blame should go to the EFL imo for not doing proper checks on potential buyers of Football clubs before they get to buy said club.

Within the next few years I wouldn't be surprised if us, Coventry, Notts County, and Chesterfield aren't some of the next victims as again we're all financially poorly run and that's because the EFL just allows anybody to buy a club.

Hopefully Bury and Bolton fans will start up their own phoenix clubs and rise through the leagues.

As one Manchester team, Bury, dies. Another Manchester team, Salford, rises.

If none of the TIBB FM supported teams can't do it then I'd be rooting for AFC Bury to do it.:dance:

But seriously it would just be great to see them back in the game no matter where they finished in the FA Cup.
