The Bury summer signing uberthread. WARNING - Contains tinpot material

[Bee sting]

I guarantee they won't throw out Bolton, They will bend over backwards and help any way they can. Regarding Bury, although I am deeply sorry for their fate(the fans) when my club had a rogue Chairman back in 1992, they were one of the first clubs to vote for our expulsion.

Even if Bolton get something sorted at this stage, though, their situation seems bad enough that it would seemingly just be delaying the inevitable unless they get a billionaire in.

As for Bury, they need to focus now on getting a phoenix club started and getting Gigg Lane back rather than desperately appealing against expulsion.

In fairness, if Ivan Lewis and James Frith are backing any new bid it must be credible.

There's still loads of time to get a phoenix in place for 2020-21 if necessary.

Appeal incoming

No grounds for an appeal because there is no appeal process according to the EFL.

 

[Kim Mitten]

They need to fight to secure the ground and get going for next season. There's a bit of a shake up at steps 6 and 7 next season isn't there, more teams in the leagues, a new Bury could get lucky and get a place at a higher level.

Who is the closest non-league team to Bury? Our game was 29th December with them, still feel like going up to Manchester to a non-league game instead.

Radcliffe? FC United? Ramsbottom?

That doesn't mean they can't appeal, though. Jevans has said they can raise a grievance in writing.

Those Mp's should be more focused on themselves and all other Mp's being expelled from Parliament.

 

[DL5]

This is terrible news, I know what everyone involved must be feeling right now. Where would a phoenix start? no higher than step 5 isn't it? which would be North West Counties premier.

 

[Valeite]

Any struggling club with a football stadium in the centre of a town is going to be a worthwhile prize for speculators and asset strippers.

It does depend on the town to some extent.

Getting ridiculous.

Not fair on anyone involved with Bury.

They won't do it.

It now just makes it even worse, giving most likely false hope to fans

 

[woburnsandsdon]

Oh, fuck off. I'm making an exception to my rule of not engaging with you people to point out that I've never once seen any of your fans say what happened to us was wrong, only justifications for it. Stick your crocodile tears up your arse.

Why don't you take your own moral compass and shove it, this is a thread about Bury FC, plenty of people commenting on it, both for and against the actions, and yet you have to jump into it, why crocodile tears ? I've said years ago what happened to Wimbledon was wrong (there you go you have it in writing) concentrate on either your club or comment on Bury;s plight, but don't turn this thread into another Anti franchise one, so basically, go fuck yourself.

 

[woburnsandsdon]

Quite how a franchise customer has the temerity to post something like this, is beyond me. Talk about being kicked when you are down that Bury are out of the league and this monstrosity remains.

Have you picked up on anyone else for posting similar ? No of course you haven't, Bury are down because they have had multiple twats owning them, we on the other hand don't.

 

[woburnsandsdon]

It’s exactly what I’d expect from a franchise supporter tbf, the only set of supporters that have absolutely no idea about football tradition and no comprehension of what it would be like to lose a proper football club at the heart of a community, it’s all alien to them.

Blah,blah it's all about tradition isn't it ? And yes your right, we don't have any idea what it's like to lose a football club at the heart of the community, do you ? No,of course you don't and yet you can comment on it...

Are we talking about the club that sold the ground out from under Kingstonian, a bit of asset stripping in the best traditions of 'fuck you jack' ?

Surely not

 

[Son of Cod]

As someone that was there during MK Dons' most disgusting and shameless moment, I feel I have to stick up for those standing up to you woburnsandsdon. Yep. That Mexican Wave you lot did in the JPT Final was way worse than watching us lose it.

1) I didn’t say you wouldn’t know what it’s like to lose a football club, as we already know, you only know about taking them. I said you have no comprehension of what it would be like to lose a proper football club at the heart of a community because you don’t have one.

2) I support a club that had to leave their ground and were on the brink of liquidation. So would have a closer idea than anyone connected to MK Dons.

3) Yes, we’ve all had our say on the matter but the reason people jumped on the MK Dons fan is because of the sheer audacity of it.

Ah right, we aren't allowed a view. Fair enough.

You’re obviously allowed a view but when an MK fan posts about their frustrations over the EFL not just booting Bury out the league and about standards or how a club should not be allowed to be separated from their ground, which is the absolute fucking height of irony by the way then don’t be surprised when you’re called out for it.

 

[WhiteRussian]

WE didn't separate Wimbledon from their ground. Their owner did. As far as I am aware that was Sam Hamman who actually never had anything to do with us.

How can me saying that separating a club from their ground be irony.

What about Wimbledon seperating Kingstonian from their ground if you want to throw stones?

Never said Wimbledon are innocent but it isn’t their fans on here posting stuff like “just kick them out and move on”. Given MK’s past and reputation, you have to expect to get a hostile response.

Ok, you didn’t move Wimbledon from their ground but they were moved 50 miles away from London.

To be fair, I never really disagreed with anything you said. Pretty sure most comments are directed at Franchisor’s post.

Have some respect for Bury, if you want a separate Milton Keynes debate do it somewhere else

Yep, young families going to Wembley for the first time doing a mexican wave, truly shocking.

 

[The Terminator]

Seeing Bury thrown out has left me feeling sick to my stomach. I just hope the fans and local council can secure Gigg Lane to give them a platform to hopefully come back.

 

[shoddycollins]

So what next for Bury?

Despite some jumping to conclusions and writing obituaries, the club still exist and the fight against Steve Dale presumably goes on.

Lose that fight and see Bury FC liquidated and a phoenix club is the only option. Some Bury fans will no doubt wish to get started on this right away even while Bury FC still exists; with the hope of getting all the work done in order to have a club competing at some level in the 2020/21 season. There is a limit to what level the FA would allow a brand new club to be admitted into the pyramid which means even if the club are successful there could be a long slog up through the amateur leagues and fans will be lost along the way while acquiring Gigg Lane would be well beyond the means of the phoenix club so they would have to hope that it ends up in the hands of someone willing to rent them it or else play elsewhere.

Win that fight and having Bury FC back in safe hands would mean being recognised by the FA as the same legal entity that the EFL have just expelled which may open the door to potentially re-entering the pyramid as high as the National League (realistically, National League North). It could also mean keeping hold of Gigg Lane. Unlike with a phoenix club though, this isn't something that the fans can do alone, it takes a lot more money to have a team ready to compete at NLN level than it does further down, also the club's debts would need paid off. The win may also be bittersweet as it likely means someone meeting Steve Dale's valuation and him getting to walk away with a tidy profit.
