The EFL has consented to talk about the issue of Bury’s possible re-entry into the Football League following their expulsion last week.
The Shakers were expelled from the league, losing their position afterwards C&N Sporting Risk pulled out of a takeover of the club.
However, there are calls for the body to rethink its decision, with an alternative option being the club to League Two.
An EFL statement released on Tuesday has said the organisation and with the remaining 71 clubs in the coming weeks concerning the situation of Bury will consult with.
There’s absolutely not any precedent for a team to enter the EFL directly via the application for admission or readmission after withdrawal of membership using it a”complicated scenario that raises questions of due procedure, precedent and equity as well as financial consequences”.
However, it goes on to state such a move would depend on”clear evidence being demanded of their club’s financial viability and its ability to satisfy its continuing obligations”.
Bury insist that a #7m takeover bid by a different party had been submitted prior to the deadline that is next on August 27.
The club’s general manager Scott Johnson said after Tuesday’s statement:”We think this is common sense. We think it’s quite favorable and we welcome the information.
“What we’ll do now is prepare and then proceed forward and help Bury Football Club’s application to the Football Association.
“When we were to be relegated to League 2 we would obviously still have the football league standing as well as my perception is that one of those buyers would still be ready to purchase the club”
“Of course, if We’re re-admitted it will set a precedent, not only for Bury Football Club but any other club which really does get into issue
“Soccer is extremely reciprocal, you can get promoted or relegated and fall into issues and it is necessary that everybody is cared in the soccer family moving ahead.”
Meanwhile, the Greater Manchester Police have launched an investigation after the expulsion from the EFL of the club.
In a short statement, the Greater Manchester force said:”On 18 June 2019, police received a report of fraud between Bury Football Club. No arrests have been made and enquiries are continuing.”
Sky Sports News knows that this investigation is not in relation to the current owner Steve Dale.
This report was made one month before Dale attained a company voluntary arrangement with the club’s creditors to reimburse 25 percent of their #9m they were owed.
But this deal depended upon the team being permitted to perform with this season, something the English Football League, concerned about Dale’s ability to finance those debts and the prices of the team, refused to sanction.
This led missing deadlines to prove he could fulfill his duties sell the club. The EFL hauled in the league and ran out of inspiration Tuesday.
No arrests have been made so far.
