The EFL should suspend both Bury if still alive and Bolton for a season. If they both prove they are viable then they can start again in League 2 and only relegate two teams this season....

Just as it would have done if JR had called in his loans. Owning a football club is a rich man's hobby in most cases.

If they can't play they really should be demoted below the national North league, just as happens to others. Tough for fans but a corporate reality check that is well needed for clubs, esp those like Bolton.

Quote from: MachoMadness on August 22, 2019, 08:39:39 amThink it's a lost cause. It's clear that Dale doesn't really want to save Bury, he's just interested in stripping every penny he can out of the club. He's a bit of a disaster capitalist it seems. Nothing the EFL can do at this point, although how he passed the fit and proper person test is another matter...Worst thing of it is, I don't believe he did pass the test! Somehow, he hasn't even taken it yet despite being allowed to take control of the club and sink it to oblivion.

It's part of the discussions we have with the EFL all the time.Their response, and I have some sympathy, is that if they pass the test today what happens if they decide to go rogue a year or two down the line?

So is tomorrow’s deadline no more? I am absolutely desperate for them to stay in business, proper club
Sounds better for them now then. Potentially could be their first game v us next week
Call me an old romantic but I would gladly take a loss now if it meant we played them next week and they still had a club to support
Dale has just been on TalkSport and asked Bury fans to see if they can raise £2.7m by the end of the day. It suggests that talks with the interested parties are not going well.

No me neither. I really hope they are saved and the game with us goes ahead, but if it does I will be expecting three good points to the Rovers.
