I wonder how many more interested parties the MP manages to rustle up between now and the next court date... farcical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or going through the legality motions, at the end of the day Bury will be starting again as a phoenix club in the lower reaches of the pyramid, can't fault anyone with a interest in Bury fc trying to get the highest possible place to restart.

oafcmetty Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 To be fair it seems the 2 week extension is due to no longer needing to pay the taxman NI, as no staff left. Extra time given so that smaller businesses can be repaid monies owed from the fighting fund which was raised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whittles left foot Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Have a read of this from BBC website about enquiry started today about football governance. Particular interest in how Bury football club was financed and the absolute ineptitude of the EFL despite Debbie Jevans saying otherwise. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50132652 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 The FA did not get involved until 4 weeks ago, after Bury had gone under. Of course, they are not directly in control, but the system is so shit as that's the cae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds more like the select committee not understanding (surprise surprise) the structure of football and the distinct roles of the various bodies to me. I agree that it is odd the FA aren't involved more in this kind of thing, but that is simply not how the structure is at the moment. They do not get involved in the running for the Premier League or EFL. Perhaps they should be more involved, but for the select committee to be surprised is surprising. Then again, its MP's.... they are utterly useless and lacking in any awareness or knowledge... mostly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was closer than close IIRC. Weren't we something like an hour away from extinction when Neil Joy and Co bought the club for a quid? I was working abroad at the time, so may have my facts wrong, but I did just manage to get to BP for the Save our Club Sunday fundraiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we will be asking about the recommendations in this report. There was also an EWG Progress report from December 2018 on supporter engagement and there is a section in with regards to support mechanisms for Supporters Trusts. We will be asking for an update with regards to this as well. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the thinking there? Bury fans are going to support another Franchise FC? The original club weren't exactly awash with fans, and I can't see many of them getting on board..

Plus Bury get Alfreton's spot in the National League North saving them the 3 promotions they would need from the NW Counties League. I think some Bury fans would support that team, but for them to get much further they'd need probably all of them, or their owner spending lots of cash.
