XXX Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 It’s clear to me that Steve Dale bought the club for a £1, has lost his own money during his ownership - to a point where he has no money left to go forward and now won’t sell unless his losses are covered plus he is financially stable too.

But new buyer does not. Also different stories being told to Football League. Local MP wants City and United to bail them out! But no way would they pay £6.5 million each. On 16/08/2019 at 19:05, eyesandears said: Yes, and he's not the only one. The EFL were asleep at the wheel when Stewart Day sold to him for a £1 back in December and Steve Dale glides in with no checks on his ability or willingness to fund the club. I have huge sympathy for their fans as their club is now on the very edge of existence due to the current and past owners' largesse and egos and a poorly governed governing body.

letsalldothebeattie Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Sad to see the club going through this trouble, would like to see them find some sort of resolution to this matter before end of the day but looking less and less likely. Cant help but think about us just a few short years ago and how close we came, thankfully we had Ann & FOH sadly doesn't look like Bury will have that same white knight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take my local club Middlesbrough - they're generally around the playoff zone, quite often in the Premier League, and have twice been in the UEFA group stages within the last 15 years including a final. Add in frequent parachute money and you would imagine they would be doing OK financially. The facts are that their losses are only kept manageable by the profits of the chairman's other companies, otherwise they'd be in a terrible state. The money coming into English football only goes on crazy transfer fees and wages without any increase in quality, and in the case of medium-sized clubs like Boro with an ever-decreasing possibly of any actual success on the field (I don't class mere survival in the Premier League as "success"). I just thank my lucky stars that I discovered Hearts. Pass the parcel is a good laugh till you get a jobby at the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesertDawg Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Doesn't seem like an isolated case. In fact, it's similar to some of the stunts that went on at Sevco. 1) Find a bankrupt business with a good cash flow from regular customers. (fans) 2) Borrow at high interest rates from an offshore entity. 3) Repay high interest loans from new cash flow. 4) Put business into administration when cash used up. 5) Get tax free kickback from offshore loan sharks. Oh, and transfer ownership for £1 to muddy the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
