Quoted from Irv93



Nope not a Bury fan at all Kingston, GTFC and only GTFC for me! I was just curious to know how you all felt regarding the clubs demise. Believe me when I tell you that the only people I feel sorry for at all are the fans of the club. I suppose it is now up to them fans to carry on and get behind whatever form the club takes in the future.

UTM.



Ah, it seemed like some sort of statement Bury fans were flooding message boards and social media with.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

17 million in debt does not happen overnight, They spent money they did not have for a very long period of time.

Phoenix restart for me, and if the fans get behind it they could get back in the League in a few years.

For me as others have said you have to feel a degree of sympathy with the supporters. But it does not extend to letting them getting away with financially cheating their way to promotion by letting them back in L2 next season.

Their demise should signal a huge change in approach from the FL regards the sustainability of its members. Will it? Of course not.

Bury have to go, but at the same time if nothing alters and these sort of people are still allowed to invest in EFL clubs then what will the EFL have learned from the situation?

If I was a Bury fan, while I would be devastated I would be determined to become involved in setting up a proper community club which the local area could be truly proud of. It is an opportunity to take football back to its roots in the area and create something really special.

A few years in the lower reaches, winning promotions, scoring lots of goals, connecting with the local community could actually turn out to be a god send.

At the end of the day football clubs are their supporters. We walk away there is no club, it really is that simple. Lets hope they take up the challenge and get back up to where they belong sooner rather than later.

I say let them back into League 2 next season.. On the proviso that that they have paid every single creditor in full.

Lets see how serious they are about wanting to come back in the league.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

I would have thought that gaining promotion with a wage bill you can't afford is tantamount to cheating your way to promotion.

Correct decision in my opinion

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49841324

Feel genuinely sorry for their fans, but I don't think they had a valid case to be re-admitted

It's sad for the fans of Bury, who have my sympathies.

However, Bury are no more a special case then Hereford, Darlington, and various other clubs who have been badly managed by their owners.

EFL have acted with some consistency here. Bury will have to regroup, and re-establish themselves as a phoenix club free of their crippling debts. This may mean saying goodbye to Gigg Lane, but that's how it is.

The comments in the release about the activities of the various owners is interesting. We already know some of it. Sounds like the full story will contain even more shocking revelations.

This sport certainly seems to attract some pretty disreputable characters.
