Philmycock Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Didn't their old owner Gartside propose scrapping relegation from the Prem.... when they were are prem club? Feel sorry for their fans, and Coventry's, we don't know how lucky we are! Thanks Mel ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenBr Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Can the players who are still there leave if they want to? If the club isn't fulfilling their side of the contract I would hope they wouldn't be tied into contracts they can't get out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have thought with some of the issues stated in the players press release, the club are in clear breach of contract. My instinctive reaction, is that the players are holding off doing so, in the hope that new owners will fulfil in full, all outstanding contractual obligations.

GenBr Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 So there are going to be two clubs in League 1 next season starting on negative 12 points at the moment - pretty much only 2 relegation spots to be filled now. What happens if Bolton and bury both go bust before then? Do they just play the season with 22 teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bury on the other hand have so far had their first two games of the season cancelled by the EFL and have a 12 point deduction - it doesnt look particularly good for them.

Yeah I guess it’s slightly more short term for Bolton fans... Bury must be thinking their club is about done. Awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWC1983 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Got to feel for the fans of Bury and Bolton. They wont be the last. In an ideal world, Id love EFL clubs to live within their means and not feel obliged to pay big transfer fees and silly wages to players because 'everyone else' is doing it. Us fans are just as much to blame. We all want signings!!!! If the clubs were to collectively take a stand on wages, what could the players do? Sit on PL benches? Move abroad? Let them, PL clubs would soon get fed up of that. Ach, its a pointless discussion, we are too far down the line for anything to change. Unfortunately some clubs will fall by the wayside.

Clubs like Bury could just hire people from non league teams and pay lower wages. It doesn't necessarily mean they have to give up on staying in the league or promotion with players like Jamie Vardy once having played non league football. Peterborough seem to have a pretty good model going with all the extra money making clauses they have in the contracts of all the players they sell. Personally for me the plight of clubs like Bury and Bolton is down entirely to bad owners who make terrible decisions without any care for the future of the club.

SaintRam Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Boltons youth (the average age of their side was 19) managed to hold out against Coventry and secure a 0-0 draw. Well ducking played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oomarkwright Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Why don't teams like forest give them 4-5 players on loan to help them out? They won't play with 35 on the books! They could have Anya, wisdom and a couple of our kids too. Similar with Prem clubs. One fringe player from each team to both clubs. Problem solved.
