The Bury summer signing uberthread. WARNING - Contains tinpot material

[Hurrikeen]

What are these rumours of Bury not paying the likes of ourselves, Rochdale and Millwall the money from ticket sales from our home games?

Are they just rumours or is there a serious cashflow problem at your gaff at the moment? Something about bounced cheques, non-disclosure of financial accounts (late at the moment, however as long as they are done so before 31-Mar there is no risk of points deductions.

Obviously there's been the countless CCJs issued this year, so something is amiss, but not sure how serious?

 

[T.A]

Your guess is as good as ours. We were apparently meant to go into a transfer embargo last week but then signed 3 players on loan. Personally I think more would have been said by Oldham,Dale or Millwall if we'd failed to pay them or even by the FL. Somethings not right at the club and lots of fans are 50/50 on whether they'll buy season tickets for next season. The club and its fans are so far away from each other it's extremely worrying but the lies and failed promises and lack of communication can only last for so long.

 

[stevie_howard]

The on pitch failings have certainly highlighted the off pitch ones. Crowds are falling back to the 'natural' level ... but the wage bill has not increased. Rumours of embargo... if true is it because of PFA loans or because of FFP?

T.A. raised an excellent point about the relationship between the club and the fans. Flitcroft has banned journos who don't ask his approved questions... there is no news from the board (other than the 3am pre scripted interview on talksport)... none of the promised improvements off the pitch have been made ... we have regressed on the pitch ... with a manager most wouldn't trust to manage their weekly shop ... Times are bad.

 

[stevie_howard]

So yet more evidence of Flitroft being a c*** ... El Abd far from happy with the coward. El Sackio then spat his dummy out and demanded that the Bury Times tweet about the incident was deleted.

If the rumours about him spiking El Abds drink with alcohol are true he should be sacked on the spot.

Wait, really?

 

[stevie_howard]

Nothing would surprise me with our idiot of a manager.

This bloke on **** central is normally pretty well informed:

Jessy -
The team were going on nights out and they thought it would be funny to spike someone's drink, they decided to spike El Abd's. On the night they did it El Abd went loopy and cheated on his wife. It's since come out that the physio spiked his drink and the management team knew about it as it was Flitcrofts idea to do it. It's resulted in up El Abd's marriage being on the rocks so today he's waited outside the physio room for and told him that he's going to get "sorted out".

And the original tweet from the local paper reporter:
Mikael McKenzie ‏@MMckenzie93 5m5 minutes ago

El-Abd kept shouting "You're a *** DELETED *** coward" towards Flicker. Other Gill players intervened and El-Abd made his way back down the tunnel.

Little bit of agro kicking off on the pitch at Gigg as the Gill players arrive. Flicker and Adam El-Abd exchanging words.

Jessy is very rarely wrong, this though?
If true he must be sacked, can not see it but from Jessy who knows?

This El-Abd scandle is also making yet another gutless defeat go un-noticed. Rose doesn't start yet again in favour of this Delfunso or what ever he is called. I think he touched the ball twice. Five loan players appeared on the pitch yesterday, what about all of our fantastic youth players that our manager really rates? 1-0 down and 10 mins remaining and Flitcroft takes off Pugh who was MOTM, leaves the dreadful Soares on (how is he captain?) and rather than putting one of our exciting yts strikers on to really go and try to grab a point he puts the crap utility man Reece Brown on, of course despite 8 mins of injury time we created fuck all. Burton away is a total write off.
Loans secured against the ground, a dreadful away record, just 3 wins during 2016, humiliated on the pitch by our local rivals, battered by Coventry, numerous CCJ's, failure to pay small businesses tiny amounts of money, wining up orders, court appearances, the youth team ignored by our fantastic manager, the club being ran like it is a dictatorship and now the el-abd scandle. And our chairman has the audacity to label fans who ask questions as 'the negative element' and then Flitcroft had the cheek to have a pop at fans as disbelievers. What exactly should we be positive about?
I am really scratching my head.

 

[stevie_howard]

Spot on Kev (I'm relieved that the #prayforblackwell seemingly wasn't aimed at the king) ... 'toothless' Flitcroft called it. I prefer gutless.

As mentioned on **** central ... Soares had his best form at Bury when played out wide (must have been a tactical genius to sign him (for free) and utilise him there).

Remember when people called me a backward manager? As I recall I very nearly kept a conference standard team in league one on less than a shoestring budget. Flitcroft could take down a team with a massive budget and a good team. The sheer incompetence of the man is mind numbingly baffling.

 

[King Kev]

The fact that people still back him baffles me even more.

 

[stevie_howard]

In fairness I think even Shaker Ryan is thinking about deserting!

 

[King Kev]

I doubt the twenty something year old virgin has the brain capacity.
I should add that anyone who thinks twatcroft and his methods prove that I am a 'backward manager' must be an idiot. Also he still seems convinced that Stewart Day is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

 

[King Kev]

Latest update is the prick has loaned one of our talented youth players out to the doldrums of Norway's fourth division. We have a load of half arsed loan players and useless cretins not good enough to be in the squad and the YTS continue to be ignored.
If we had suffered these injuries to the squad that we have and had continued to struggle but DF was trying to blood the youth to turn the form around I would hugely respect that. It would be an ideal chance to blood some kids but oh no, mr 'loves to blood the kids' refuses to blood the kids unless he is playing them out of position. Prick, and how that idiot and the chairman can make out we should be thankful, words fail me.

 

[stevie_howard]

Perhaps we expect too much? He is following in the footsteps of the man who gave England James Milner after all.

 

[stevie_howard]

mambo seems to think that next seasons keeper is already lined up, and even training with the squad.

Mambo also posted on my fan page claiming Bradford had sold all 2200 tickets and were requesting more before predicting a 6000 crowd.
I have had said texts regarding the keeper, Kong says Stef constantly links us to said keeper and puts 2+2 together and makes 11.

 

[stevie_howard]

He's not on about fucking Kirkland again is he??

Sorry for late reply Howard was away promoting my book, in case you forgot it is called 'Will there be a footballing rainbow: Kevin Blackwell dreaming of a better brand of football.'
The sex pest seems to think we are signing an ex dale keeper, the name eludes me.

 

[T.A]

Conrad Logan - hope he's lost that baby weight since we saw him at Stockport.

That is the one T.A my old mucker, I should add though this 'rumour' comes from the Daily Mambo who despite his enjoyable company and ranting that can make one deaf is unable to pass a sentence without some form of lie or fabrication. Word has it on the street however that he wants me back in the job, I would defo be interested in a return to gigg lane I just hope it is to manage the club and not save them from financial ruin this time.

 

[stevie_howard]

News of a charity match in May. A Bury XI side against a team of celebrities. We can look forward to the likes of Chris Brass and David Flitcroft once again wearing the famous white shirt. I assume they don't want to attract a crowd for this one then.

 

[TomPNE94]

You can have Kirkland, he's absolutely done. Moves like an arthritic pensioner.

 

[King Kev]

Mark Carter, Stant, Pugh, Deano, Rigby and Lucketti please.

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

Just another thought Kev, did you ever get near the hot seat at Cov, I think I remember you being near one time, but not for certain

I did but my references were not submitted in time. It was for the best though as I travelled the world instead scouting all kinds of international talent and thought up some great ideas of adapting new football methods. This became the basis of my book 'Will there be a footballing rainbow: Kevin Blackwell dreaming of a better brand of football.'
In case you are wondering since release the book has taken up 44% of book sales in the WHSMITHS in Kendal.

So Horwich are down with more than a little help from King Kev. Stand by for a Tuesday 12 noon kick off idea from GMP.

12pm ko and Bolton given 2000 tickets in the MRE. Home fans will be all ticket as well I reckon and half the SS will be cordened off. Despite all this the police will then release all the fans out at the same time. I am just praying that there is no thick policy like giving Bolton two stands to avoid trouble. The GMP are that thick though I really would not put it past them.

 

[stevie_howard]

The latest news from **** central is that I am a Rochdale (or fail according to the resident ****) because I dared not to vote for Peter Clarke as player of the season!

Will you be at the Millwall game Kev?

 

[King Kev]

Bit like that idiot George 2010 who accuses every Bury fan who doesn't support the board as being the same person.
I shall be out for the St George's Day massacre look forward to a soda and blackcurrant juice with you. However I will be going to Fairfield in the morning to meet some hospitalised Bury supporters on the children's ward and presenting them with a signed photo of me, it is good to offer support and hope to my fanbase like this so apologies if am late on the day but you know how important charity is to me.

Btw don't forget to ask the Sex Pest about his upcoming fictional trip to Australia, I don't think so much planning has ever gone into something as made up as this trip. He keeps posting about it on my fan page.
