Re: Bolton
IIRC when it WAS us, what we expected was what we got - pretty much FA from all corners.
Re: Bolton
Really sad for Bury. The EFL allows someone to take over the club without apparently doing the proper checks, then does nothing to help the situation they helped create. This could be the fate for a lot of clubs in the next few years. And yes, we're definitely on that list.You'd think the EFL would try to look after their own, but they evidently don't give a damn. Just surprised they haven't gone the whole hog and given the league place to some rich bloke in a new town.
Let's hope the Bury fans can come together and create a phoenix club.

Worth reading to see how well the "guardians of the game" are actually doing in their role:

Re: Bolton
Genuine question: what is the difference in situation between the situations at Bury and Bolton, other than the fact that Bolton have managed to put players (not fit for the purposes of playing in L1, as evidenced by the results and the cancellation of a game at their own request), and why have Bolton been allowed extra time, if Bury weren't? There seems very little difference to me, if any at all.
Re: Bolton
Back to Bury, I haven't really followed the detail. So property developer Stewart Day sold the club in December 2018 for £1 to Steve Dale. The club was heavily in debt and under a CVA. But nobody would take on paying off the CVA and funding the club.
Also who now owns Gigg Lane?

Re: Bolton
According to Wiki, Bury FC owns the ground. If true, then I expect they'll be forced to sell it.
There's many lessons here, but one of them is to make a fuss about your club plunging further and further into debt. One day, taking on that debt will prove too much for any prospective owner.

Re: Bolton
Well, I suppose the only real surprise there was that we didn't lose ....

Re: Bolton
A ludicrously unbalanced league. Allowing one team to play no games and another to basically turn up and get beaten before being able to strengthen their team. If we lose out on goal difference to a team that was able to beat them by 5+ goals in the first 7 games of the season then it has to be said, the league have f-ked this right up. Equally at the moment I shouldn’t think that’ll be of any concern to us...

If that happens I'd say Robinson has f-ked this right up!recordmeister wrote: ↑Wed Sep 18, 2019 9:11 am A ludicrously unbalanced league.
