rudemedic Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 9 hours ago, singe said: I think they are going to start losing a lot of sympathy. Of course, they have to try and get back in. But that's come to an end now. Comments like " Devastating to hear self-interest was served cold by many EFL clubs today" are going to alienate support. They should focus on the phoenix. It will be better supported anyway. And stopping Dale selling Gigg Lane. They seem to be fighting the FL hard than they fought Day or Dale . Indeed. They conveniently forget their self-interest of spending way above their means for the previous 2 seasons, effectively buying a promotion that they couldn’t afford, so cheating. The EFL have made a rod for their own backs by not following their own process with the transfer of ownership between Day and Dale. But if the EFL had followed their process, Bury would likely have not got promoted, as Day was seriously short of money, and Dale probably still would have bought the club anyway, as Dale would have passed the fit and proper persons test. So they’d be going bust in League 2. I have a lot of sympathy for genuine Bury fans who pointed out the risks, as well as those staff members who are all unemployed, although given our turn-over of staff they might well find work here easily, plus those who just went to Gigg Lane through habit. But the likes of those Bury fans who mocked Blackpool and Bolton fans, as well as those boasting about their squad depth when we were both in League 1, deserve their local derby being at Prestwich Hays next season.

al_bro Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 There were some Bury fans on the bus after the game who had been to the game. They were really slating the EFL and Dale, one said Dale is allegedly being investigated for fraud. I don't know how true that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldhamSheridan Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 As far as I know it is an investigation into what has gone on at Bury rather than Dale. He has experience in businesses in this situation and you'd imagine knows the legal ways opf getting the most money. I'd expect the one of more interest will be Day (and would be one of many, many financial threads to be looking at - car parks, Mederco, Lendy, etc).

kowenicki Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 that’s that. Forever Bury Statement 14/10/2019 We regret to inform the supporters of Bury Football Club that the interested party who has been working with Forever Bury on a proposed bid to buy the club has confirmed this is no longer a viable prospect for them. As matters have unfolded and the necessary due diligence has been undertaken, the complex, complicated and financially distressed situation at Bury Football Club has resulted in their decision to stand back from further discussions. Resulting from this news, Forever Bury will not now be putting forward a legal defence against the HMRC winding up petition on Wednesday 16th October 2019, as we believe there is no longer adequate evidence to suggest a meaningful case could be made. We will update you further as developments unfold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
