I mean it's grim. You can't just keep going into admin and starting again, or selling everything to some other buffoon for £1 and hoping it works out.

Class of 92 looked at Bury before buying Salford. Guess they saw something not even they and their backer could make work

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Salford have a bigger catchment area than Bury who are properly hemmed in.

If you have money in non-league and aren't Glenn Tampon then it's pretty easy to sail to the Conference.

Be interesting to see what happens with Bolton - we hear of these financial struggles most seasons but we are still yet to see a club the size of a Portsmouth/Bolton go under.

I am not very well informed of the ins and outs of their situation but i'd be surprised if they went out of business.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

If the EFL are contacting relegated clubs about reinstatement then it must be near certain. Fancy something touched by Anderson and Bassini turning to complete shit. I am shocked.

 

[Lycan]

Notts County have been told to "expect" their league status to be reinstated.

Also Plymouth have been told they may be reprieved from rello.

Basically the EFL think Bolton and Bury are going under.

Any links to this?

Can't find anything anywhere.

Press in Nottingham dont think a reprieve will happen

"Fans have begun to speculate what would happen if Bury were to go bust with some claiming it would lead to Plymouth being given a reprieve from relegation from League One and therefore Notts in League Two.
But according to the EFL rules, the likelihood is that League One would have one less relegation place next season."

Careful, might get a new title edit: @ DW

Could this get a bit messy? Won’t Newport and Mansfield claim they deserve the right to into League1 plus AFC Fylde and Solihull could argue there case also.

 

[Tony Towner]

Bolton aren't going under, there's 6 different parties looking to buy them.

Rumours that the Belgian and Dutch leagues are going to merge.

Rumours that the Belgian and Dutch leagues are going to merge.

Would that make it a Belch?

[Tredman]

Wouldn't like to be policing those matches if it does happen.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Aye, thanks for nothing, you bald wank.

Why they appointed a Ken Bates crony is beyond me. And he's been a disaster, so much turmoil under his watch and then he has the nerve to say fans should be grateful to their owners.

Shaun also presided over FFP rules that brought work to accountants as they found loopholes. Sell stadium to yourself . Pay a players mum £700k as an academy scout as doesn't count towards FFP (can't name the player or mother for legal reasons, but his dad's name is Paul Ince

Jose Antonio Reyes killed in a car crash. Tragic.

 

[YoungWolf]

[jd1981]

Terrible news especially being so young, was a good player too.
