Bless!I do hope she has an umbrella,
Sadly it looks like they will be gone by Friday.
Think 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...
I remember a couple of years back one Rovers supporter, on this very forum, was contrasting the ambition of Bury FC with the approach of our owners.I said then it would end in tears.
From reading the Bury forum, my understanding is that because Dale bought all his shares for £1 the sale went through quickly and before the EFL knew about it. Once he had the shares I don’t think the EFL had any power to remove him. Maybe the EFL are now effectively applying the test via their withholding of the “golden share” for league membership until Dale proves his financial position. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
.... and we have Terry Bramall and Andrew Watson paying off our debts. We are very lucky.

We are very lucky.We don't have any debts, thanks to TB and the Watson family.I have not seen the accounts but expect that the situation is that the club is indebted to the above mentioned owners who could at any time demand payment which, if they did, would inevitably place continuance of the club in jeopardy. 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.
People even wanted us to get involved with hedge fund company's saying it was the way forward
