Very sad news. Could easily put our name in that statement i realised whilst reading that statement.
That's a very sad and tragic way to end a club's league history, an absolute travesty really. I can't imagine what it must be like for their fans, and the everyday staff, and you have to feel sorry that they've had to go through this.

Very sad news, I hope they can eventually get their club back up into the football league under a new name
Not their fault the club wasn't run properly. Bury had a advantage over other clubs fighting to get promoted out of L2. The other clubs actually thought about paying their players and set their budget accordingly, and for whatever reason, Bury didn't.
I feel sorry for their supporters but the Premier League aren't to blame.
Sunderland have got Bury on 21st December and Bolton on Boxing day.... Maybe they'll fancy a 'Friendly'.
Real shame for Bury, But it seemed inevitable after having 6 games suspended. I suspect Boltons stay of execution is because they've actually completed most of their fixtures. Although from Appletons comments I'm not sure how the next 2 weeks are going to be funded.
EPL: "Recent events have highlighted how decisions taken at Bury FC over the last few seasons have caused the Club and individuals close to it significant financial distress and there are a number of matters which, in our view, will require further investigation."
It’s all good them saying that, what the useless fuckers should of done is stepped in when the Bury owner was making stupid money decisions and not let this get so far
Because HMRC know that football as a whole is a house of cards and if clubs didn't pay off their transfer fees to other clubs then the whole thing would collapse
I’m not a SISU fan...they wouldn’t be here if there wasn’t money at the end of the rainbow. But...they budget to keep going as evidenced by their ‘pragmatic’ view on where to play. They also like distressing other companies. Piss the fans off and make threats of liquidation. Yet take the team out of the city.
Enjoy the football before anything changes.
I’m guessing it’ll be like Rangers. They’ll set up a new company/club and give them the option to sign. If I remember rightly, that’s how we got Fleck, as he declined to go to new Rangers.

Not many Left, anyway.
The club hasn't been wound up, so contracts still in place. Of course if he doesn't pay them...
Well that was my thinking. Word is he has not been paying the players.
Opportunity of a cheaper ground share or wait for Bolton for a Ground Purchase..... SISU waiting in the Wings
On a positive note for the welfare of our players..... having no game on Boxing Day could provide extra rest during a very busy time in the season, which could help with reducing fatigue related injuries

This is tragic. Just seen a video of bury fans - these videos need to be shown to the idiots who wanted the EFL to expel us, rather than allow us to play in Birmingham.
Our fans who wanted that are scum of the earth and quite frankly I’d rather them not be fans of this great club anymore.
You’re a moron if you think “oh just take the share and give it to Hoffman” - No - we’d have been expelled and we’d be the fans picking up the pieces the next morning

The Premier League is part of the big picture and has played its own role.
Irony about our position is that we were central to its formation
Desperate news. I also feel sorry for Mansfield who finished 4th last year and missed out on autos because Bury were spending money they didn’t have.
What were bury fans saying last year when they were promoted.
Fans now saying just a bit more time a deal would have been done

It’s a tragic and cold way to end such a historic club, I hope Bolton doesn’t follow suit and I don’t think they will. There needs to be more stringent measures in place for club ownership but equally it’s a business that will never make money either. Let’s hope EFL are looking at this and ensuring steps are in place to support and not punish clubs falling down the same rabbit hole.
That assumes Mansfield themselves spent within their means which is doubtful
BBC 5live clearly do not see the irony of reporting on Bury not having a pot to piss in, then moving directly to poor Alexis Sanchez having to survive on £400 grand a week.
Be careful what you wish for, people - Hoffmann, Elliott, et al offer no guarantees of being any better than Dale. SISU and Otium make very little money from owning us, having put quite a lot of money in.

This has happened to us both Leicester and Portsmouth were trading insolvently while we slipped down the ranks and lost 10
