Whats Bolton got to do with the Hugill payments

 

My mistake thought he moved from Bolton not Preston.

Weren’t Bolton looking at Hannant lucky escape there.

How are these clubs going to survive through the close season without income.

Probably why Smurthwaite decided to leave.

Especially after the Christian Doige farce

Bury players also not paid amid financial uncertainty.

Crazy, crazy the FA have got to do something, the difference between the haves and have nots is getting bigger...but as others have said danny mayor and jay shea would have them anyday but I bet they would cost a pretty penny..

Always seems strange you budget for a season then struggle over the lean months, why not pay the staff the same but over 9 months when the cash is around either they have to then budget or get an adviser to put the extra they earn in an account either way the club has paid the funds

Reported that Bury haven't paid last months wages,never understood how they can pay big salaries on their gates.

They can’t, probably why they’re in the ****.

Owner took a huge gamble with their ground like 18 months ago maybe? That's why they started spending big, I did say on here in a Bury thread that it'd all end in tears, likely admin etc, looks like they could be heading into trouble now.

This has been coming for a couple of seasons.

Wasn’t it the reason they offloaded Pope.

[Warren]

I talked to the former finance manager at Bury circa late 2017. They were running an untenable approach signing highly paid players formally played at a higher level not committed to the club etc. I guess Pope signing was an example of that and how it doesn't work out. So at some point sense has to be restored. The owners convert loans to shares and take the loss, or it blows up into administration / sale etc.

 

I think Macc is different. They are inherently a good non-league club similar to Accrington. But they have got themselves in the league a couple of times without having the fan base etc. So their struggle is inevitable unless they either become Accrington or accept downscale to non league semi pro etc.

 

I like Bury and don't want to see them come to harm. Macc is a good local derby if they can stay up - not at the expense of Port Vale of course.

Here’s Bolton’s “Smurthwaite”statement

 

https://www.bwfc.co.uk/news/2019/april/a-note-from-the-chairman/

 

" I have accepted an offer of less than what I paid" I thought he'd only paid a quid??

[JohnJames]

He’s actually been banned as a Director once for inadvertently putting company funds into his own bank account. How did he pass the EFL fit and proper test is anyone’s guess

[Doha]

 

Doncaster are around £70 million in debt.

 

How the frig did that happen? The Keepmoat?

Pity Smurthwaite didn’t accept less than the 1.25 million he paid for us the greedy bar steward.
