tomorrow can't come quick enough 14:17 - Oct 16 with 2193027 views | batman | Not for us, but for Bury. i was credit checking a potential customer and decided to nosey onto BFC's file and was (or maybe not) supprised to see a new CCJ for circa £22k lodged only Wednesday this week. looks like they are in need of a bumper crowd tomorrow to settle some bills | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

The debt that is in the public domain is that at 31-05-2014.. The next accounts up to 31-05-2015 are due to be filed no later than 29-02-2016 by which time a further 21 months will have elapsed. By that time the debt may be more than the £ 5 million you are suggesting and look what has happened to Swindon Town who last season appeared to perhaps have the same management plans as bURY. But yet again with sports organisations HMRC appear to have a different strategy as to that applied to other commercial organisations. It is illegal to trade in the knowledge that your company is insolvent. | ![](/images/avatars/1221.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
tomorrow can't come quick enough on 11:35 - Oct 23 with 9663 views | TTNYear | And when in the championship they will have to pay championship wages. For new and old players I'm baffled by it to be honest. Unless there is this mystery backer then I can only see one outcome, with a lot of shakers crying into their beer. One thing that I don't understand that the majority of shakers seem to ignore, that if this business model was sound then every club would be doing it. The increasing amount of CCJ's points to a lack of a money man at the top for me and a massive gamble on the roulette wheel. But even if their number comes up it will only negate the debt they have created since Day has arrived. What will they do if they have to fund a team of Chris Eagle's and Leon Clarke's in the Championship? That 5 million wont last long. [Post edited 23 Oct 2015 11:36]

tomorrow can't come quick enough on 12:22 - Oct 23 with 9576 views | D_Alien | The point of the whole exercise is to use Bury, and it's supporters, as a means of financing debt. Anything else is just hot air. Day will withdraw when the time is right for him with no personal loss, just a whole bunch of creditors and a bunch of mugs in the fans who believe in what he's doing; Flitcroft included, although tbf he's probably just making the right noises whilst being paid a decent whack. | ![](/images/avatars/1219.gif) |

As you say, Mr. Conn will write another piece on the Bury fiasco, but only if further evidence is forthcoming or if the situation can be shown to have changed since his report in the Guardian in 2014. I would suggest that a concerted effort from all 'interested parties' with supporting evidence where available to david.conn@theguardian.com may whet his appetite sufficiently for him to start typing again. If enough ammunition can be shown that things have moved on from the previously reported position, that may well be the answer and widen the audience sufficiently for a deeper look as to what's really going on behind the verbal claptrap emanating from Giggle Lane. | ![](/images/avatars/5895.gif) |

I think you're spot on, and I think that's the block at the moment. The CCJs are there but perhaps not enough beyond educated guesses on who is owed these monies. There are people working on supporting evidence but not always that easy to come by. Sometimes the focus on rumour (e.g. L Clarke missing appearence fees) over fact holds them back. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

In defence of DF, he may well have sought the assurances from all relevant authorities within the club, that all is 'above board' before he has been prepared to be part and parcel of it and having received those assurances has agreed to be a part of the 'on-going project'. Who knows who is saying what to whom and what assurances are being given ? At the moment, (to us outsiders) it's an apparent paper-trail of debt chasing debt with little in the way of any substance to support the obvious expenditure taking place. Few will playing or working for weekly IOU's or promissory notes. [Post edited 23 Oct 2015 15:16]

I really hope you're right SuddenLad, because like many on this forum I've always held Flicker in high regard, and under normal circumstances wouldn't have any issue with him being manager of a close rival - that's just football, and he's entitled to earn a living like anyone else through the use of his talents. I just hope he doesn't have cause to regret his time at Bury if other people end up losing their livelihoods further down the chain due to monies owed to businesses which then go bust. | ![](/images/avatars/1219.gif) |

tomorrow can't come quick enough on 15:19 - Oct 23 with 9084 views | D_BFC | Career wise, in some ways DF can't lose. He currently has last year's promotion on his managerial CV to go along with the success as an assistant at Rochdale and his relative success in keeping Barnsley up a few years ago. Having said all that, I've met DF - albeit briefly - and he seems a man of integrity. If it goes as predicted, he can walk away with the "I had no idea this was going on behind the scenes" talk. Statement expected soon according to Joy. Will it say a lot but tell you little? Probably. [Post edited 23 Oct 2015 15:24]

Great post. I admire Flicker for what he achieved alongside Hilly but I think he is batting on a very sticky wicket at bury. His support for Day is admirable and he doesn't strike me as being naive because he's involved in his own family building business, so i don't buy that as an excuse. Maybe everything is above board, Hilly is quick to jump on clubs who cheat the system by spending money they never had and he didn't mention any concerns or surprise regarding their spending last week. Maybe it's just us Dale fans who have misinterperated everything, the proof will be in the pudding. | ![](/images/avatars/1233.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

tomorrow can't come quick enough on 00:44 - Oct 23 by Sandyman | It seems that as of October 21st 2015 , bury fc's "DueDil Credit Report" rating is 6/100 and its "credit health" is "very high risk" , based on the clubs current financial position. The above report also states: "Negative Factors: This company has had multiple CCJs registered against them within the last 36 months which are currently still outstanding. The latest Balance Sheet indicates a negative net working capital position. The latest cash balances are considered to be low in terms of the overall outstanding creditor obligations. The negative debt/equity ratio indicates a Balance Sheet deficiency funded by creditors/debt. There has been a reduction in shareholders funds compared with the previous balance sheet." Looks like Chur is running the club in keeping with its famous financial history. |
Out of curiosity and in the interests of balance, what sort of things are on the Dale record? Similarly for some of the other stuff higher up the thread?
