Hopefully the ball boy has a set of GK gloves and the tea lady has played a bit at right back, guaranteed success.

The bury chairman seems to have exceeded himself again. What a nob

Quote
BURY FC are set to make a number of members of staff redundant next week, the Bury Times understands.

It is understood that between 10 and 12 members of staff at the financially troubled club have received letters of “potential redundancy”, subject to a consultation.

A range of club staff are believed to involved, including ground staff, operations, accounts and maintenance.

However, club secretary Jill Neville is not thought to be one of those involved.

When quizzed on the redundancies, the club's owner Steve Dale accused staff of "trying to extort money from the club".

He said: "If you read my past statements I indeed made clear that staff will be let go as we are overstaffed.

"That’s just commercial sense. What you should be asking is, these staff who are purporting to love the club, why didn’t they just go and find other jobs? But no, they are trying to extort money from the club."

Unbelievable quote!

Get John McGinlay back out of retirement for a season, he has to be younger than Kevin Ellison who has signed a new 1 year contract at Morecambe.

Not seen this although I only returned home a month ago and have been in Spain for a couple of weeks since.  I'll ask a couple of mates how things are looking for them, usually see one on Wednesdays.

Ask them "where has all the money gone?" Smiley

More background on the dire situation at Bury, including this little gem

"Capital and Bury agreed that 40% of the money being borrowed would never come to the club. Instead, Capital paid it to an unnamed third party, as an “introduction fee”. "

So Bury still owe £1.6m (and the interest on it) but never even saw £640k of that, it went straight out to some dodgy fixer.
