Bury's "bottom four" budget

[valeparklife]

Anyone seen this BBC article today? David Flitcroft is trying to say their budget is the 4th lowest in League One. After signing Pope, Leon Clarke and Peter Clarke (amongst others), surely this is a load of nonsense!

Totally agree with you.

Something tells me this is going to come back and bite him, Bury are doing fine in the league but not well enough to justify the wages they obviously pay, time is ticking for them all the time....

[Santa]

More ridiculous than his brother's haircut.

[Bea Smith]

More blatant lies from a pathetic little club that will not finish in the top half.

[old sage]

Another case of someone who can't count!!

Another example and indictment of what's wrong in football. How much evidence do these so called 'businessmen' need to prove that trying to buy your way to success (unless you have the funds of an Abramovic or an airline) is only a first step along the way to financial ruin? Looking at Bury's average attendances, I doubt that there will be such profligate spending again next season!

Regardless of where Bury's budget stands in the "league table" the deeply worrying aspect of it all is surely that:

 

"A Guardian report claims that Bury owner Stewart Day is borrowing £1m, secured on the Gigg Lane ground, at an annual interest rate of 138%. It means that after just one year, the amount owed would be £2.38m. It’s a worrying gamble particularly as Bury could lose their ground if it fails..."

Well, they're stuck with whatever Pope is being paid for the next 2 1/2 years.

 

Worryingly, some Vale fans would also like to see us spending even more out of our means than at present. Need their heads looking at.

He must be basing it on gate money and commercial,but not the wedge that comes from the money tree.If true ,it looks like Tom left for less money.

Maybe less than he was getting but more than he was offered

Or less than he thought he might be getting.If Bury are in the bottom 4,budget wise,maybe they'll finish in the bottom 4?

Heard the same thing. They basically have to go up this year.

Anybody know what Burton's budget is,based on their attendances they are seriously over performing.
