Bury fans club AFC start a new life in NWCL

[spacecadet]

Tragic

I'd like to know what they've done with the Colin Bell money!

And the Andy Hill dosh

What exactly does that mean? That they're in the conference or is the club folding altogether?

Same as what happened to chestee and wimbledon I think, they reform a d re-register in the non leagues for next season and work themselves back up.

Perhaps if FFP hadn’t been too busy conducting a witch hunt against us for no reason...

Real shame. Feel sorry for everyone involved apart from their dick of an owner

I've tried Googling Bury FC mismanagement, and Bury FC forums for an insight into how it has came to this present situation to no avail. Has anyone got a link to an in depth explanation ?

I've found a David Conn article which should suffice. Also found a report that highlights the Bury owner has been involved in over 50 companies, of which more than 40 have gone into administration. He didn't get examined by the EFL fit and proper persons test, because the EFL were concerned about Bury going into administration

Sums it up really and the ELFs ineptitude that this guy was even in talks

 

[Blue and still suffering]

Very sad!
It's not only a blow to the fans but to the town as well

Sums it up really and the ELFs ineptitude that this guy was even in talks

And underwater hotel in Hawaii? What could possibly go wrong.

It is tragic and should never have been allowed to happen. Interesting to see what that tosser of an owner does now.

Anyone in any doubt as to how dubious the motives of some of the people involved in Bury have been would do well to read about the structure for approving the CVA and the new creditor involved:

And the previous, apparently separate, regime's financial maneuverings, detailed in links in this article:

A cynic might conclude that several people have been preparing for this.
