cant find the link but the FL have issued Bury with a put up or shut up type notice, wanting answers to questions and if they do not get them within 14 days from today then the FL share will be suspend, and the safety committee meet today as well and if they say its not happening then fixtures will be suspended.

I assume among other things Bury need to explain how they intend to pay the CVA and then the football creditors which they have to pay in full (assume not in instalments).

Interesting times there

They still have today to answer the questions, and if they don't then the 14 day clock begins

I don't blame the EFL for playing hard ball if Bury aren't answering the questions. Bit late for their concern though.

Shit times at the shakers.

Isn't that basically the fact they have to pay all football creditors, i.e players and clubs, once the CVA is arranged for the FL to be satisfied?   They are all protected by the FL rules, meaning they can withdraw the Golden Share.

And don't they have to put a 'bond' down as well and show where the money is going to come from for the next 3 years

Theoretically yes, but they were supposed to do that when the current clown took over and didn't quite get round to it, but somehow the League still allowed them to go ahead with the takeover

Is there a firm rule in place that the FL has to adhere to if a club actually folds - as in how the leagues are reformatted?

Both Bury and Bolton look unlikely to take the field for the opening games.

What a farce L1 is this coming season.

If they can't fulfill their fixtures then they should be ejected from the league, simple.

And the team that finished in 13th in L2 the previous season should take Bury's place. It's the fair thing to do.

Particularly if it's the first fixture!

I feel for the fans, but particularly with Bury, I think they should be gone. They won promotion with a team they couldn't afford to pay. If they had a team they could afford, they'd have been relegated. It's cheating, and unfair on clubs who live within their means (irrelevant of how those means are obtained).

It's also time to send a message.

Word. That way there is no arguing between the clubs that were relegated or failed in the play offs....just go straight down the middle of the table to replace them.
