Read it again and I'm sure you'll see what I was referring to.

Public sector?

Just about sums up why the sport is so enthralling.

Good ol' Joey Barton.
Leopards and spots comes to mind.

Prison beckons surely with his record?

 

[Barmitzvah Boy]

This was Barton’s stag do. What a slug.......

Bolton and Bury have until 5pm today to provide evidence of financial viability or matches might be suspended

The Whites Hotel has been remortgaged twice, it is no stripped of furniture. All the car parking around the ground was sold for a one off capital injection so it provides no match day income to BWFC any more. Their main training ground at Buckshaw was sold to the Latics.

In addition a bank account to their now dead chairman Eddie Davies has just been discovered (his family had no idea) and this has filtered off £4M from BWFC to an unknown person /persons.

Whats the chances of both clubs being liquidated? Seems my long held prediction of Lancashire clubs folding might be coming to pass.

 

[Wilpshire Blue]

Bury game called off but Bolton goes ahead

Bury have their Carabao Cup tie postponed and seem to be drawing close to expulsion from the EFL.
Not been one of those for many a moon.

A very sad read about what could be the last few days of Bury FC.
It's possible that their friendly against us might be the last match at Gigg Lane.

Life's not fair but as I've said time and again the country can no longer support 92 fully professional clubs. Like so many countries around the world, the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.

 

[Wilpshire Blue]

Bolton takeover falls through and they could be gone by Wednesday

[Wilpshire Blue]

So, Bury have been expelled.
A sad day, especially for the North West
Oh, and the pillocks at Sky had Jim White fronting a countdown clock to turn it into a bit of fun

Anyone who believes we are safe from is living in a bubble. Make no mistake there but for the grace of God (or rather the Hindu Gods) go us.
Might be best to comment here rather than this specific League 1 thread.
10 Green bottles hanging on a wall............

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

No we would be fine, there have been and I believe still are willing buyers out there.

 

[Drog]

Are there really ODB? I can't think of any willing to take on a loss making enterprise already approx 130 million in debt and operating in an unequal League against a host of wealthy 'parachute' clubs who aren't currently residing in the funny farm.
