Possibly a glimmer of hope for Charlton? Danish bloke interested in buying them from (apparently) the two chancers who originally bought them from Duchatelet as East Street Investments. But the others two chancers who claim they bought ESI from the first two chancers but then got told to do one by the League are trying to block it. Of course, it may well be the Danish bloke is also a chancer but he talks a good game.

Read about this last night as Paul Elliott (specifically the fans asking him to fuck off) was trending on Twatter.

I think the root of the problem is that Elliott's lot have basically been funding the club for a while whilst they complete the purchase that has been blocked by the FL after he failed the FPP test (quite some achievement), after the original purchasers fell out and flounced about a bit, the fact that no one seems able to talk or sort out a simple deal suggests there is more crap behind the scenes.

That and the fact that Duchatelet still owns the ground and training ground and ESI Mk 1 agreed a £50m option to buy them as part of their takeover. Which is apparently proving a significant deterrent to lots of potential suitors, most recently the Barclay/Varney consortium which was apparently popular with fans.

Good news for Wigan, although one has to wonder why they were prepared to wipe these debts?

If anything, that and the fact that the current owner apparently enquired about putting them into admin the day before he informed the League of his ownership of the club, makes the whole thing even more fishy. Plod should be looking at this

Maybe we could a whip-round/crowd funding thingy and get them on a cheap transfer to TEF. They’d fit in nicely.

That is just so unprofessional.  
I understand of Course that events at Bury will have caused deep upset to many, many good people.  But it’s happened and moving forward hearts should only be worn on sleeves in private.  This statement shows that moving on isn’t really happening, whereas what is needed is a load of pulling together, rebuilding the club from the ashes of the past.  
It is worrying that someone thinks that this sort of amateurish outpouring will achieve anything, and having a pop at the football hierarchy is particularly likely to backfire.  And what on earth are they doing dragging in TV Licence and Prom Concert issues? I’m speechless.
I truly wish them well, but ......

This is happening, the new club had their first match the other night and are entered in some lower tier of the non league pyramid.

I assume a sizeable proportion of the fanbase have migrated to this new version

I'm sure that will give confidence to all the Bury fans who can now see that their club is in safe hands.
