The current and previous owner of Bury FC have run the club into a spiral of overspending and debt levels that are unsustainable for a club of our size.

The EFL's fit and proper persons test for ownership of a football club is clearly not fit for purpose. We have had one owner in Stewart Day run the club into unbelievable levels of high interest debts to be replaced by another owner in Steve Dale who is unable to take the club into a position of security and safety.

We are in real danger of losing contracted players as contracts have now been breached due to the non-payment of wages, the stadium to which the club has been located at since 1885 and there is a real danger that club as a whole may cease to exist if things are not changed.

As fans of Bury FC we are asking the EFL to investigate and for the current ownership to stand down from the club - as fans of football & citizens of bury we want to see the club be successful but also to survive.
