rudemedic Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Going back to Bury. There was a noticeable lack of applause in the relevant minute from the home sections. Most of the Colchester fans applauded though. Which I was slightly surprised at given they missed out on the playoffs due to Bury's cheating.

Nothings wring with me. I didn’t know. I wouldn’t have applauded if I had though. Nobody died and Bury are still in existence. Perspective required.

BP1960 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 What is the Rochdale set up that has made them secure for years and a decent football team? (compared to us). Have they a rich benefactor, a strong board of local businesses people, or is it fan run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly certain their board is mainly local business people, though. Not that the board make up matters much, if a club doesn't spend more than they earn.

I don't know about the current chairman. Also Dale historically have done very well in player sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 I understand politics permeates everything, even football - but this thread took a huge swerve towards looking like something below the line on The Mirror's comments section, so I'm sure I speak for a number of football fans who are sick to death of national governance, and people's 'opinion' of it. I've moved the lot to the other forum where usually nobody can be arsed to read; so you are welcome to continue there if you want to argue about who's opinion is right, to your hearts content, in ever decreasing circles.

Ritchierich Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 It does beg the question that perhaps they could introduce the option of suspending a club for a season with a deadline for satisfying xyz in order to gain re entry in the same division the following season.....the problem is we would quickly end up with leagues 1 and 2 having about 9 teams each season whilst the others screwed their latest creditors! Perhaps a better solution would be for the EFL to actually introduce proper oversight into the finances and running of their member clubs in order to better protect the heritage, passion and social value of, especially, small town clubs and our unique pyramid system that underpins football in this country .....or alternatively, fuck it, we all just watch 20 teams in the Premier League on Sky sports and never actually go to a game again in our lives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 So we could have a situation where Latics (or another club) are relegated to the National League and Bury admitted to Division 2, Would that be right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No different to MK Dons - the woe is me is getting tiresome now and the more statements Steve Dale throws out the less sympathy I have. If he had been reasonable weeks ago when offers were made it would be over and done with now. The fans were not protesting when they got promoted even though they knew exactly where things were headed. i could have bought Bury for a quid then not paid anybody its easy. Dale is a twat but he is right when he says that this would have happened when Day left at any rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_Og Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 So the initial focus of an enquiry into possible fraudulent activity at Bury is into a failure to make pension contributions, both those as an employer and those taken from staff wages for their contributions. Sounds horribly familiar. The episode which resulted in the loss of the FCA credit broking authorisation was, at best, rank incompetence. This is potentially many, many times worse. At best it is a spectacular breach of trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
