Posted: 00:31 - 28 Aug 2019 Post subject: Bury Football club kicked out of the football league |
|
|
I don't think there are many soccerball (tm yanks) fans here but for us few that like the game, a very sad day for football.
Bury expelled by English Football League after takeover collapses.
It was coming but somehow you kept hoping someone was waiting in the wings to buy the club. Ah well, the premier league is fine, nothing to see here.

I'm not a football fan, but I see how the smaller clubs form a centre for local community for many. Very sad, and just another illustration of how the poorest continue to lose what little they still have. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I'm in 2 minds over this. Firstly it's very sad for the life long fans that their club went bust for less than some PL players earn in a month.
Secondly though, the Football Fair Play rules are in place to try to stop clubs over spending and getting an unfair advantage to gain promotion. Some clubs abide by it, some blatantly flaunt the rules then deal with the consequences later. Often this involves a tiny (in comparison to increased income of promotion) FA fine, if the club is one favoured by the FA, such as Leeds, Villa etc. In this case, Bury did over spend to get promoted and the FA, instead of fining them, decided to set an example. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

They got fined for "spying" last year which breached no EFL rules... |
The rule is "unsporting behaviour". They were spying on the opposition, I don't know a football fan from any club but Leeds who thought that sort of cheating was acceptable. They were only fined £200K for spying on their play off rivals, which in modern football terms is a piss in the ocean.
Leeds have constantly flaunted FFP regulations and had financial irregularities from various dubious Italian tax dodging owners or puppet stooges of the owner. They're a favoured club and that's why they're on Sky every sodding week.
Others who've blatantly cheated FFP recently include Bournemouth, Man City, Fulham, Chelsea and Wolves. Fulham took the piss in the Championship and their 1 year in the PL, I've yet to see a fine.
QPR took the piss and it took 3 years to fine them. FFP is not working. It's designed to stop the larger clubs dominating, yet it's mainly the smaller clubs abiding by it. Bury are having an example made of them. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

But poor Bury fans. |
I couldn't get a Luton ticket at the time, so booked Faversham Hop Festival instead. I've since been offered a ticket, but turned it down.
The only benefit under Potless Phil, is that I'm winning money backing us to lose.
As crap as the football's been this year, I'd still miss the day out though and feel for Bury fans. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

What has come out is the EFL has serious messed up with their due diligence that the current owner was fit and had the funds to keep the club trading.
He bought it for a £1.00 in December, yet the prospective buyer pulled out stating
Quote: |
"Ultimately though, it was six years of a combination of financial mismanagement, errors in governance and issues that ultimately meant that to unravel them, in what was a short period of time, were incredibly difficult."
|
So how did Steve Dale get passed by the EFL as fit to finance & run the club if in less than 3 months was in court of unpaid tax bill. Then could not pay players in March & April.
Someone seriously fucked up @ the EFL and should be out of a job.
|
He never got checked by the EFL. He just informed them he had bought it and the only choce they had was to work with him or kick Bury out there and then and they were never going to do that.
I don't feel good giving any support to the EFL but in that case they were hamstrung. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |
