Leaping Lannys Perm Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Shouldn't a decision have been made by now? I thought they were supposed to give a week's warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Wasn’t the Bury game postponed on Saturday? I’d guess the same thing will happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Will be surprised if the Bury league cup tie went ahead. They have cancelled the Weekend game v Accrington. Dont know the ins and outs of it but sad news about Bury at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Bury owner been explaining the situation. Consensus of those involved in the discussion that EFL not fit for purpose. Cant argue with that, spot on. https://talksport.com/football/efl/583124/bury-owner-steve-dale-efl-agenda-jim-white/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Maddogbob Posted August 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) Oddly ive just won some tickets from caribo for this game.

Jon Newsome Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 The EFL's stance with Bury is fair enough, they can't prove that they can even finish the season, they are claiming they can get a loan to see themselves through which only puts them in a worse position this time next year. The EFL sanctions them to play and in a months time they can't afford to pay players again it'll be ridiculous. They've been run into the ground by dodgy ownership and if they get out of this situation I'd be shocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Really sad to see this. BUT the EFL and the FA sky et al should all be taking a long hard look in the mirror. The authorities are supposed to ensure owners are fit and proper and have the finances to fund the club. Well it looks like they’ve been failing miserably.

It's tough call for them ,the bloke buying the club may have good intentions for the club but isn't any good at running football club and you don't know that until it's too late .....look how much money we lose every week but I wouldnt say that chansiri isn't fit and proper to run the club ....

True, though he did take over the club without proper due diligence - I'd have thought that would be a basic requirement under the League's Fit & Proper review. Mr Chansiri seems to have known what he was buying in to and clearly has the funds to support the club; sure that will have been a good start to passing the test. Sounds like this Bury guy also doesn't have much of a pot to p*ss in either. Wonder what the Fit & Proper test actually covers - wonder if it's just around criminal activity (former Leeds guy getting suspended for tax fraud or whatever it was for example)...

They are looking at situation from wrong perspective. They have recently agreed for those towards top of PL to receive more money. Thus making imbalance greater. Government needs to step in and award more money to teams in Championship, League 1 and 2. You could remove £400m without any problem. Basically reducing parachute payments. You could distribute in a tiered approach say £8m to Championship clubs each, $5 million to league 1 and £4 million to league 2. It would relieve a lot of pressure on many clubs. It would also take some of financial heat out of Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be mistaken but I think Bolton ran up all their debts whilst in the Premier League. makes it even more ridiculous given the level of income they would have been receiving during their epriod in the top flight. Not sure how you set up a stringent fit & proper person test. Can only really exclude someone with criminal convictions or for having no money. Not sure you can exlcude someone because you don't like the look of them. Would be sued left, right & centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like their Premier League debt was written off buy one of their previous owners mate: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/bolton-wanderers/12014502/Bolton-Wanderers-confirm-Eddie-Davies-will-gift-club-185m-in-effort-to-speed-up-sale-of-Championship-side.html Wonder how they are in such a mess after £185m being written off (assuming that actually happened)?! You're eight about Fit & Proper, it's probably about as stringent as a mortgage application or something - as you say, what else can the League look in to?
