Bury owner Steve Dale has called for a “private ballot” to reinstate the club in the English Football League.
In an open letter to supporters, in which he condemns the actions of the EFL, Dale comments for the first time since the decision was made to expel Bury on Tuesday.
Dale published the strongly-worded letter, which is over 1,000 words in length, on the club’s official website to offer his take on the positives and negatives of the club’s current plight.
“One of the first I gave them was on the stadium loan so it came as a shock they pulled out at the last minute for a debt they had known about for months.
“Another bid came in and, once again I have never seen proof of funds or heard from them since. We also had a handful of time wasters but nothing concrete.
“I am hopeful that the Serious Fraud investigation will see the perpetrators brought to justice soon and disclosures can be made, this will allow fans to see what really was going on behind the scenes that seriously added to our current situation.
“We need to clear out and start again, time and events have shown we have a handful of trustworthy staff who care for Bury but the rest need to go it’s time for a change, new blood.”
