Bury staff have hijacked their social media to announce an offer 19:07 - Aug 12 with 1441 views | Mullet | https://www.buryfc.co.uk/news/2019/august/statement-from-bury-fc-staff/ I'd heard last week (2nd hand from staff) someone in the local media had put up £1.6m, but I can't imagine that would be enough to buy anything or have substance beyond it being the figure needed to get them playing again. This would be massive if it's accepted though. I can see there being challenges at the end of the season as teams play different amounts of games, and against different strength opposition as players come and go from Bury and Bolton. The whole scenario is crazy and the EFL don't seem to have a handle on any of it, especially when you've got two different basket case clubs in spitting distance in this league. | |

Unless £1.6m is the ongoing funding - with gate receipts at something like the average for last season may just be enough to keep the club running, assuming some players are sold - and the purchase price is nominal. | |
