    The Neville brothers mam worked for Bury for 30 years and their dad put in 20 apparently .

    Phil Neville said today it breaks his heart to see the club lose it's EFL place and the soul has gone out of the town of Bury .

    He quickly dashed to his car as he was late for a meeting at Salford City where his brother Gary was chairing a meeting on how they could further bankroll the club towards the championship .

    Read the same about Neville breaking his heart
    but can't be involved in two league clubs according to the rules
    Well could have resigned from Salford then

    They were saying on Sky last night that some Championship clubs are spending more on wages alone than they have money coming in.
    How can they possibly survive under those circumstances?
    If Sky doubled their TV money they wouldn't pay off any club debt, improve facilities or lower prices at the gate, they'd blow it all on player's wages.
    Man Utd's youth team could more than likely save Bury if they pawned their watches & gold chains. I doubt more than 2 or 3 of them will play 50 Premier league games, probably none of them for United.
    Neil Danns and our old mate Stephen Dawson are on Bury's books and have about 500 league games each under their belts but United's youth team players could probably buy & sell them ten times over.
    Obscene isn't a big enough word.

    For me it’s a different blame.
    I blame the “Fit and Proper” EFL scrutinisers. Every club takeover has to be ratified by the efl before an owner is allowed to take their share. The “Fit and Proper” checks have let the fans of this club down. To an extent that they have a moral responsibility to sort this club (Bury) out.
    The owner had to prove he could afford the club........He bought it for a pound!
    What are The “Fit and Proper” Checks?
    Can you afford a quid Mr Dale?
    “Yes”
    “Ok then..... You can be an owner of one of our oldest clubs”

    The EFL, The FA, Should hang their heads in shame at not helping the fans and prospective owners to get more time.
    I would have proposed this.
    1). Mr Dale, we remove your “Share” of the football League. We now take back the name, and share of the club. Will financially support you to pay wages of the existing pros, and the admin costs that you need above your income.
    2). Bury, you play this seasons games with what players you can get to play for you. At a neighbouring ground.
    3). At the end of this season, if no buyer is successful, You expelled.
    The EFL have given them extensions, yet are happy for this club to go to the wall. My God....Had it been a London Club, they’d have bent over backwards.

    its got nowt to do with the FA why put the FA in for blame their job is the rules of football and lower leagues and grass roots.

    Dale owns the club the club still exists just its not in the EFL they have to re-apply to the FA for a place in the lower tier pyramid or Dale could fold the club and a new club could come from the ashes.
    Dale said in an interview he would be happy to walk away from bury.

    So why, if prepared to do that, hasn’t he, and GIVEN the club away? He s hung around for his reported multi million pound pay off.
    If he’d walked away and given it away the money the attempted buyers were going to pay him then could have paid creditors of the club.
