Possibly a fan owned club? I am.not sure but they have 4000 regular fans I guess?
BBC website quoting a Bury supporter saying "we just want to watch our team on a Saturday." Very sad. Hope they come back via the lower leagues, their ground can't be built on for 20 years but the players will all go off to other clubs and it will be a hard road back.

You have to feel for the poor sods who support them. Seeing this happen to the club you love must be heartbreaking.
Just thinking in terms of the stadium etc.Possibly a fan owned club? I am.not sure but they have 4000 regular fans I guess?
As it stands would they stay as Bury FC but just a non-league team or would they fold, need to form a new club, new stadium etc?
Genuinely don't know, apologies if they're stupid questions!

Not sure exactly, but Chester managed to hire their old stadium, but had to go back down the leagues, and they changed their name slightly, dropping the City. If those 3K supporters are genuine in their love for the club you’d expect them all to turn up for any phoenix club and hopefully give them a basis for some funding.

The one thing I would say is that football clubs are generally pretty resilient and as long as they still have fans, they'll be back soon enough. Look at AFC Wimbledon or Rangers. There are very few clubs who have genuinely ceased to exist. Not that it won't be shit for a while.
Bet we won't see the same sort of clamour to stop this sort of thing happening as we saw to stop owners spending their own money on their clubs.

It needs the Bury version of the MIBs to pay a visit to the current and previous owners. Not to commit violence of course, just to discuss where things went wrong.
This sort of stuff will continue until greater control of club finances is exerted by the EFL.
One report says the current owner has been involved in 50 businesses, 40 of which have gone bust. Surely he should be banned from being a company director for life, unless all those business failures were due to a limited number of circumstances.

Can someone explain how they decide to eject a club from the competition rather than placing them in administration and deducting points?
And also what happens to the results of matches already played against them?

They didn't play any matches, but if Bolton go as well, those results will just be wiped.Can someone explain how they decide to eject a club from the competition rather than placing them in administration and deducting points?

They haven't folded (yet), they're just not in the football league any more. In theory if someone arrived with money now then they could rebuild as the same club, same stadium (if they could pay the mortgage).

All over twitter there saying City and Utd should have helped them out, honestly people are so thick, City cant help them out even if they wanted to, it against the rules ffs.
But I really feel for Bury fans, for which a good mate of mine is one.

This is a dark day for football.
I wonder if those clubs that drove the move to keep all home gate receipts and the formation of the premier league are pleased with the outcome.
The premier league hoovers up the lions’ share of the money.
The gap between the haves and have nots grows ever wider.
This could have been us 11 years ago but we got lucky.
Look what had to be invested over those early seasons in order to close the gap.
Now with FFP no other team can realistically do what we did.
It is all driven by greed by a small number of clubs and not the good of the game.

That's what I was thinking.They haven't folded (yet), they're just not in the football league any more. In theory if someone arrived with money now then they could rebuild as the same club, same stadium (if they could pay the mortgage).
So the question is, if they can't find new investment, how sustainable is the club day to day from this point on.
