How on earth did you - or anyone - spot that?

I didn't, someone picked it up with the author on his twitter feed and he confirmed it!

Bit rich of Phil Neville to complain about Bury's plight when he is a part owner of Salford who are paying wages above their league position and therefore inflating costs for other clubs trying to complete at the same level.

To be fair, that's not why Bury are fucked.

No, but given the Neville brothers' family history with Bury and their vast personal wealth, they could probably have solved the club's problems at the stroke of a pen if they had chosen to. Instead they'd rather spend their money on a vanity project. Their money, their choice, obviously. But don't then go whinging about it when you've chosen to turn your back*

* Obviously subject to being proven utterly wrong if it turns out they have been trying to do stuff behind the scenes, which they may well have been

This is a good summary of the shenanigans at Bury, also deserves credit for the effort in spelling out a relevant piece with the first letter of each para!

http://priceoffootball.com/bury-minutes-to-midnight/
And contains what may well be a clue to Dale's apparently extraordinary behaviour in seemingly wanting Bury to crash out of the League and into insolvency:
"Fearing bailiffs acting on behalf of creditor taking Bury’s assets is the reason that Dale has given for the creation of these companies, who apparently have had some of the football club’s assets transferred to them."

What's the betting that some of those assets are potentially valuable land/property that he can cash in on once there's no longer an inconvenient football club kicking around the place spoiling things?

Correction: Dale claims to have sold Bury. No guarantee other than his word that it has been done or will go through. Remember the Portugeezers?

EFL statement expected at 945. Almost certainly 48 hour extension to get everything over the line.

Prospective new owners Alastair Campbell’s son and some bloke who was interim manager at Barnet.

Run a small sports betting company.

What could possibly go wrong?
