The EFL now publish photos of new club owners when they have passed the fit and proper test. Photos of the latest owners so approved have been uploaded to the EFL website as below...... That’s not new owners! That’s the EFL directors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Profit through the demise of others. Just as Oyston was, something that also didn't bother the EFL. I suspect there are plenty more skeletons in cupboards, which is why the clubs are resistant to proper scrutiny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 I am getting proper nervous for Bury. I really, really hope they are saved. The shitehawke owner has seeming previous is buying companies in distress, but this is a community asset that should be saved. We didn't choose Steve L, we didn't - hopefully, thankfully choose the 'Reform Group' who came sniffing - but we have stability. Bury fans deserve better, and that rests with the EFL. Be grateful for good owners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinapig Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 Just now, BobBobSuperBob said: Fit and Proper ? What a ******* joke Basically, if you do not have an unspent criminal conviction you are ok. If Dale had been disqualified as a company director because of his other business dealings he would not have passed either. Unfortunately, the sort of predatory capitalism he indulges in is positively respectable in this country so he has been able to make money from failed companies to his heart's content with no fear of disqualification. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dastardly and Muttley Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 There’s hope. Dale is saying he’s sold the club. Apparently to Alastair Campbell’s son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanburyRed Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 The EFL have shown themselves to be totally inept and not fit for purpose themselves over this case with Bury and that still ongoing with Bolton. Not exactly sure what they've been doing for the last couple of years, let alone months, when they could've been exacting and exerting some proper decisive leadership. Instead, the idiot Harvey and the rest of the EFL buffoons have merely sat back and watched this happen. Nothing short of scandalous to watch a club change hands for £1....irrespective of the debt that passes with it. Be like Mike Ashley stopping you in the street and asking if you want to buy HoF from him for a fiver.... Fingers crossed for Bury. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeRed Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 In all these cases the truth comes from the fans, a cross section of people from all walks o f life who are bound by one truth- a love of their own club and a desire for it's best interests above any self interest ( as in every club's fan base) To a man and woman they all blame and want the odious chancer and fraud Steve Dale removed from their club. The EFL should listen to and act in the best interests of those fans. Allowing Dale anywhere near a football club is a disgraceful act that shames our game. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hitler Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 5 minutes ago, phantom said: So what happened about last night's deadline? Do Bury still exist EFL deadlines are a movable feast; from the BBC website: Bury are waiting to hear if a last-ditch offer to buy the League One club will save them from being expelled from the English Football League. Owner Steve Dale told BBC Radio Manchester he had agreed a deal with analytics company C&N Sporting Risk, led by Henry Newman and Rory Campbell. The EFL said it had been notified of an offer being accepted by Dale. Bury had been given until 23:59 BST on Friday to prove their financial viability. Football Daily special: The day Bury survived? The EFL is now considering an extension to the deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the 2-2 draw for me, when a certain Paddy Kenney in the Bury goal made stunning save after stunning save.
