Bristolatic Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 And the takeover still hasn't gone through, has it?. If it doesn't happen by kick off, do the EFL cancel the game at the 11th hour? A lot of people would be royally pissed off if that happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the moment Bury started buying players that seemed to be above their pay grade to get promotion from League Two back in 2014/15 there was a distinct sense that the bubble would burst eventually. But what's happened here is unprecedented. Was there ever any possibility of our match against Brighton being suspended back in 2003 (i.e. suspended rather than us being liquidated and having to start over)? I have no idea what's going to happen from now but from their fans' point of view I really hope they have a club to support when it's all over.

I'm all for Bury and Bolton getting demoted (maybe to L2 rather than all the way down the pyramid, i.e.do a Rangers on them), just don't want to see them disappear if possible. Agree absolutely with you re Rochdale, Stanley - maybe as Unsworth says well-run clubs should get a bigger slice of the solidarity payments. Really difficult to know what the answer is. The way the game is going though is not good. Rangers weren't relegated- they did disappear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're not sorted by then they're getting thrown out. The idea behind the postponements is that they shouldn't go ahead if the results are just going to be expunged a week or two later.

JohnG123 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Just wonder how ALL the local business owners that have lost thousands are feeling. Some might not even recover from this. Football clubs must be the only business that's allowed to run up more debts than it will ever have in assets and just continues trading........................... If controls are not put in place this scenario will just be repeated season after season........................................................

kowenicki Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Rumour is that Bolton have league approval to play some players today that they haven’t yet signed as the takeover isn’t complete. So basically playing players that aren’t theirs. How can that be allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new club was formed, which has the word, "Rangers," in it's name and plays at Ibrox, this club as you say achieved it's highest ever league place last season, as did Accrington.
