We didn't need a rightback at the start of last season but somehow ended up with about eight and not one average leftback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_bro Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 18 hours ago, bozman said: I don't think the biggest issue here is the loans that Bury FC have been taking out. If those were getting out of hand they'd be in breach of FFP and the football league wouldn't allow them to continue on this spending spree. The main issue is the loans their owner is taking out in the names of his network of companies, which are secured against the ground and gifted to the football club. By doing it this way he avoids the FFP restrictions. I don't think anyone would argue that the football club alone could afford to pay the wages it pays from it's income. The issue is that he can't currently afford this. If he could he wouldn't have to borrow the money at extortionate rates of interest. So he's gambling that either Bury get promoted quickly or his businesses make a lot of money pretty quickly. One or both might happen, but if they don't he's in trouble and the ground will get repossessed. What happens if they get promoted? They will need bigger loans to pay the wages.

His gamble then only works if he decides to uses some of the extra revenue to pay the debts off and the club start to live within their means again. He doesn't seem like the sort of bloke who'd do that though. More likely to try to borrow even more for tilt at promotion to the Premier League.

Well aren't they making noises about a new stadium? If So I can see them taking out some much bigger loans to fund that. On the surface of it they appear to being quite reckless. However Day maybe paying these loans off. Who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knocking on but doesn't seem to miss many if you look at his stats - 59 games in 2 years in the Championship isn't bad given his age. A year or two more out of him back at our level seems feasible and he's exactly the kind of midfielder we need. I'd be happy with this if it isn't just more bollocks..

Hmmm...... always considered Douglas combative, as opposed to cute on the ball. Therefore I'm not sure I see the difference from Green... and we've got Fane? I was secretly hoping Shez might find us another young ball playing gem from League 2 as opposed to a fading stone from the Champ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent midfielder. If we didnt sign him because we have "i can tackle but cant play football" Fane Id want Shez sacked (and that is something I never want to happen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
