Apologies, should have said in all three communities!

Where have I said no action is necessary? I have suggested tighter monitoring and regulation re fit and proper etc. Exactly what can be done with regard to the Bury jobs, creditors etc? I suggest nothing as the horse has bolted. What the EFL need to do is try to ensure it doesn't arise again...

Presumably both but I'm guessing if the club goes into administration then the freehold will mean jackshit to him as it will merely be offset to pay creditors. The one thing that is in the clubs interest is that they could still be sold and prepare for life lower down the pyramid. Dale tried a...

Pubs and village halls are part of their communities but they don't have any protected status.

Football clubs are part of their communities but that is not dependent on them being in the football league or are you saying that those communities with national league teams (or leagues below that level) aren't equally the heart of their community. No one quite knows what will happen in Bury...

Not entirely sure I agree with your first assertion. As far as I can tell, football is run for the benefit of the tv subscribers. I'm not saying your suggestions wouldn't work just that for there to be change someone would need to vote for it and those that vote are the owners of the clubs...

The german model of ownership is, I assume, what you're leaning to and it may work but how would you introduce that. Existing owners/investors aren't just going to hand over control, especially if they are managing their finances adequately. The Premier League is never going to vote for a...

Then start listing some of the legitimate solutions that might avoid this happening again. As for the rest of your post, that's football, like it or not. There are plenty of teams with history playing in the national league, some have even bounced back others haven't. Or would you rather we...

What's your solution then? The sad demise of Bury will be an opportunity for another club, just as it was when Maidstone went and before that, Accrington Stanley.

Totally different. Your daying they have the choice to stay and play no football for the rest of the season in the hope the club get sorted and are allowed to play next season as opposed to their contracts now being cancelled and finding another club that actually pays wages. Dale is...

Agree. I also believe that for most of that time the bulk of the financial support was from TB.

And what is their playing squad going to do? Spend a season not getting paid or find another job.

I guess the EFL just want some evidence the purchase is credible so they can give a stay of execution to allow the deal to be done.

If only it were that easy.

The ep is a success only because it has the lions share of revenues. Epl clubs are not going to vote to dilute that share to the degree needed for the EFL clubs like Bury to survive.
