    Quantuma are a joke. When Kirchner got to the first deadline and he couldn’t complete they should of told him to do one and not let it drag on. Feeling worried for our club now. Hope someone comes in soon.

    I could never have seen this happening, he worked so hard to get it over the line with board meetings at Revolution and the golf course.   Oh sorry, I did .  Chancer doesn't do it justice.

    The sun has aligned with Leo in the East, which signals money from the orient.  Look out for the hooded man by Wednesday. The colour Green will be important for your future prospects.

    Good luck on your way back up. 
    Obviously we have a connection through "that" FA Cup final. 
    In my view the governance of football needs to be removed from any club self interest altogether and be completely independent, doubt it will ever happen though

    Forgive me for barging in on your messageboard but I come in peace as a Bury fan. I have never posted on another club’s board before, this could be my first and last time. 
    Firstly, the very best of luck. In cases like this it’s the fans, the innocents in all this, who suffer. We feel your pain, we too have been through the mill and beyond. 
    Bury FC, the original club, were kicked out of L1 (having just won promotion) by the EFL in late August 2019,  about 3 weeks into the new season, our first half dozen fixtures were postponed so there was no record to expunge. The club was subsequently placed into administration. It remains in administration to this day but is effectively just a shell, awaiting ultimate liquidation with debts of over £12M. 
    If scenario 1 above had happened we would have been reinstated at tier 6 in the pyramid. It didn’t, scenario 2 happened, and a “Phoenix” club called Bury AFC was formed by the fans and funded by the fans. It was admitted into tier 10 of the pyramid, the lowest level under FA auspices. Last season, the first full covid free season, it won promotion losing only one game. The highest home crowd was 1,885, not huge but enormous in a league where 100 or so is the norm. We ground share with Radcliffe AFC, another non league club within the borough of Bury. 
    Bury AFC is not of course strictly speaking a Phoenix, but is referred to as such for ease of reference. It carries probably about 60pc of the original fan base. Not everyone has got on board but the majority have. The vibe is brilliant, partly as we are successful on the pitch of course, so never be afraid if this is your fate (it won’t be), you would still have a gas in “non league”, there are so many pluses compared to the EFL which make the match day experience highly enjoyable;  and with your fanbase you would quickly climb back up the pyramid. 

    A highly unexpected turn of events happened more recently when a very small group of Bury fans emerged from nowhere with no mandate from anyone, but having apparently got strong connections with the Conservative Party. With the help of a wealthy businessman-fan now living in the USA, and with the financial help of the government which has provided up to £1M of matched funding (“levelling up”?), and the potential help of the (Labour) council, that group of fans (calling themselves Est 1885, the date of the founding of the original club) managed to buy the ground Gigg Lane, which had been subject to a charge for a loan of some £3.5M, and had fallen into a state of some disrepair. So Est 1885 have a ground but no football club, and Bury AFC are a football club with no ground (of their own). Talks are ongoing between the two with a view to a merger down the line. 
    A word about the EFL. Yes as useless as a chocolate teapot but presumably facing the chop or severe reform following the government’s fan-led review. Remember the EFL is in essence the 72 clubs - it gets its power from the clubs, maybe it is useless because the clubs have only ever favoured light-touch regulation of themselves for obvious reasons, so have never given the EFL the powers it really needed to provide effective governance. 
    So the very best of luck and whatever happens - there is no need to despair.

    Indeed.
    In fact, if Team Mike Ashey wanted to engineer a situation where they were the only game in town expressly to ensure his low ball had to be accepted in the face of liquidation it would be entirly understandable and would neccessitate putting pressure on Quantuma by whatever means available to kick CK to the kurb sister.
    Presence of other parties could be a complicating factor for such manouvers, so we've already had stories (possibly true) that "well the other bids can't eaily be revived"
    There are now very serious games being played, and I'm not going to be foolish enough to suggest the Ashley camp are the only ones playing them, as it's obvious Q, the EFL and CK all are as well. All could've been avoided if CK actually had the money he said he had, if he'd paid for the club, all of this would be a non-issue.

    Good way of putting it. The EFl rules are completely distinct from the insolvency rules but they influence the behaviour of the buyers and admins at every turn. But I guess it’s no different in a number of other regulated sectors

    Exactly I went for "potential new clients" and "technical updates" as I figure didnt have to be my new clients and I do now know a lot about the insolvency rules. My timesheet pearshaped after the Dawes statement also !!

    Really hoped it would be sorted by now and did not want to go this to go into the working week. Some of us have got to fill in a timesheet and there is only so much admin time one can book to. Last week was very admin heavy and i blame Ed Dawes for that.
    and no i dont work for Q, in case you are tempted...
