Didn't Bury borrow £1m from a Wonga type company, at big rates of interest?

No that was Bournemouth with that Russian bloke!?

I do wonder of there is a degree of borrowing money from associated companies and acquatances here?

This did catch my eye.

Stuart Cook, spokesman for a concerned group of small Bury shareholders, said: “We are lifelong fans whose parents and grandparents attended Gigg Lane; we want a successful club but based on sustainable spending.

Don't worry mate, even if you do want that certain fans will still moan like hell about it and prefer a boom bust model!

No, the Russian is only charging around 6% interest.

Yeah it was Bury and reported in some places as 2 million. They were going for shit or bust this year. One is now looking more likely than the other.

Bolton dodged the bullet in the short term...

Delaying the inevitable. I'll be surprised if they don't fold, as effectively someone has to spend almost 200 million to get them even, as I cant see a standard administration being allowed. And no one will spend that amount on what is a relatively small team with little hope of making large profits.

The amount owed to the owner will be written off, a bit like Black decided, that he no longer wants to write any more big cheques. Apparently they are in discussions to sell part of the car park to developers for £25m. That'll will see them through to the end of the season...

I assume though that the debt outside that to the owner is only £3m with £2.2m of that to the HMRC, depends how much Eddie Davies wants back I suppose.

This might be "what's right with football" but the Bury (and other stories) are actually showing the good things in  not owning your own ground, ie we cannot be shafted by property investors, often penniless property investors.

Whatever Power may be up to in the medium term there are easier clubs to fleece than STFC Smiley

He's writing it all off as soon as he gets new owners. He just doesn't want to put any more money in.
