You just have to google Kirs Richards and see the house his company is registered to in Chadderton, an end terrace house which would probably only sell for around £70k........I suspect Kris Richards will be a mate of Stuart Day (ex-owner) and for Dale to have purchased Bury from Day, I am sure that Dale and Day were as thick as thieves back then........then where does Alistair Campbells son suddenly come in???
 
Before I start, I know full well that City don't owe Bolton or Bury anything. Especially considering we've done more for both clubs than any other premier league team. However, I have two suggestions that I think City could implement which would be mutually beneficial for both clubs.

We should play at least 1 friendly per season against local clubs. More if we can fit them in. These would be early pre-season (before any tours abroad) and enable our younger players to get some game time. City will be able to guarantee 5k+ fans for every game. This should be something every premier league team HAS to do as a way of spreading the wealth. But would be great for City as a PR stunt now. Surely we could have fielded a team to play against Bury over the past couple of weeks?

We should contact these clubs and offer them an incentivised loan agreement plan. We send local clubs 5 or so players every season, we cover their wages and we pay the club a fixed amount per minute played. If it's £100 per minute they'll get £9k per game, per player, they could increase their match day takings by £45k per game. That could snowball into over £2m per season. Our players on loan would get considerably more experience doing that than playing in the EDS side. and it would cost less than what we've been paying Mangala in wages the past couple of years. It would be an investment for ourselves, because from those 5 players, we might end up selling one for £10m. Better yet, one could break into our team (like Foden) and save us £50m on a transfer fee.
 
Why don't they join forces with Notlob? I'm being serious. They could build a new stadium on the Bury/Notlob border and call the club Bury and Bolton. However, here is the rub: They still have two teams, one called Bury FC and one called Notlob Wanderers FC. Finances are pooled and admin staff/groundstaff club shop personnel etc and are all working for the club of Bury and Bolton. At the end of the year finances are divvied up between the two teams for transfers etc but is based upon league position and attendances/merchandise sold. So say Notlob outweigh Bury by 30% their budget for transfers is 30% higher than Bury's. Just an idea to keep both clubs alive in their perilous predicaments. This could only be for a period of say five years or so whilst things stabalise then a decision is made going forward after that.

and who is going to pay for the stadium and what do they do during the 3 to 5 years it takes from now to build it?

I think that has legs but just as one team rather than two. Bury and Bolton FC. Can’t see it happening, but it would be worth thinking about. They’d have better finances, bigger fanbase, fresh start.. both play in white and navy, it’s fate lol

Is there anything worse than a football fan referring to Bolton as Notlob?
