The winners and losers 03:01 - Aug 30 with 4269 views

I'm trying to determined who the winners are in the demise of Bury?

HM Customs and excise. NO
The town of Bury and wider community. NO
Sundry Creditors. NO
Bury football club. NO
Bury supporters. NO
Rochdale football club. NO
Rochdale Supporters. NO... although you might wonder reading the other thread.
The other 22 div1 clubs. NO
Division 1 in general. NO
Football in general. NO
The Football League, NO
The Game itself. NO
Tradition/History. NO

Did anybody win?

Stewie Day did. he trousered some cash both personally and for his other business's
Steve Dale will no doubt make a quid out of the carcass. Will he put anything back in? what do you think?

Have lessons been learned? NO it will happen again and again, has anybody emerged with any credit NO certainly not the EFL not fit for purpose is an apt description. Just what has been achieved by expelling Bury from the EFL? actually nothing has been achieved. The EFL have expelled Bury but not Bolton but will readmit Bury in a few years under another name containing the name Bury it mightb take a few years but it will happen. Could it have been done differently? of course it could, suspending Bury for the remainder of this season would have made far more sense than expulsion giving all interested parties enough time to unravel the mess to see if a solution could be found. The EFL have made a right pigs ear of this by setting a false deadline after deadline after deadline when the only deadline needed would be before the start next season say June 30th. Division one is now a complete shambles more so because of the Bolton fiasco that might see a resurgent Bolton take points off Rochdale or any other team that may cost them a relegation or promotion. Bury and Bolton should have received the same penalty suspension for the rest of this season. Bolton were allowed to start the season with kids and Bury weren't? only the clowns at the EFL know why.

This is not the time for bickering.
