It's cheating. Plain and simple.
It really is. The FL/FA should do something, thats not sour grapes that is just cheating the rules. |

Or is it cheating within the rules? |

I think there is a massive amount of twisting the rules definately. |

I really don't understand how they could have done it within the rules - they must be using some dodgy numbers to achieve the % of turnover thing for wages? It looks like any funding they have had was a result of loans, not investment or sponsorship, and the turnover doesn't seem to cover the wage bill, let alone being a % of it. |

Bury should be deducted points or have a transfer embargo placed on them for at least the next transfer window.

The EFL are all over this shit, they said they were concerned about the finances, job done. Integrity of the league retained. |

Hope I'm wrong but don't think the governance will improve in EFL any time soon - Isn't it the owners of the clubs that would have to vote to change the system?
The turnover rule is too easily manipulated. Until there is strong governance over cashflows and related party/director loans then clubs are easy pickings.
For example perhaps season ticket monies should be held centrally in EFL segregated accounts and then released over 12 months or for certain expenses, so the owner cash grab is a little harder and will be spotted sooner.

Some poor press officer has been emailed that and been told to put it online. They probably support the club.
The best bit is that at the bottom there are related articles:
A message from the Chairman 25 April
Statement from the Chairman 10 April
A note from the Chairman 10 April
Statement from the Chairman 4 April 2019
Christ.

Well, that's a classic, but at least he's openly stated they cheated. The fact they are going to pay wages for the past few months, that the PFA have loaned, with next seasons ticket money. Pretty much admits they spent way more than they had coming through the door this season to get promotion, in fact, they couldn't even pay those wages that got them over the line. If I was Mansfield, I'd be after them. On top of that, what the fuck happens once they pay the back pay - they've got no money left for next season.
That's on top of the bizarre nature of the statement, which was a jolly good read I must say.
