Sort it by 5.00pm on Monday 29th (today) or EFL will suspend their opening fixtures
So 12 noon becomes 5pm. What's the betting that 5pm become noon tomorrow. The EFL couldnt run the proverbial in a brewery.
What have the EFL done wrong here in your eyes? They are being quite clear and thinking about all FL members as it affects everyone.
Because as per the statement further up this thread - the EFL have already pushed one deadline back for Bury (they initially had until 12noon today) so fully expect them to piss around and do it again
OK but they wouldn't have done that without good reason, what should they do then? Tell them they missed the deadline and throw them out of the league?
Seems like they are caught between a rock and a hard place

Its not about throwing them out the League though
Its about getting Saturdays game cancelled for each of them
Either stick to the original deadlines and cancel the game or dont - Dont piss about as there will be fans who'll be wanting to make travel plans
i.e. What about the MK Dons fans who are waiting to see if they need to book train travel up there or not as those ticket prices arent going to stand still are they?
Be frustrating for the away fans but wonder how much the clubs care about the fixtures being fulfilled on Saturday, they'll surely be re-arranged for a later date instead of MK Dons / Wycombe being awarded the three points
Any poor teams in League 1 could get really lucky this season, lack of players and points deductions for Bolton and Bury mean chances are only 2 other teams will go down

Basically AFC Wimbledon and Accrington could get another season at that level as those two surely have the smallest budgets in the League?

So have they not been given another 6 points deduction for failing to fulfill their last fixture of last season...??

At its meeting today, the EFL Board was appraised of the position in regard to the outstanding information requested in respect of ongoing matters at Bolton Wanderers.
The Board has fully considered the Club’s further submissions and is satisfied that they are sufficient to meet the requirements of the League subject to the completion of formal documentation.
As a result the EFL Board has opted not to suspend their opening day fixture with Wycombe Wanderers and it will remain as originally scheduled on Saturday 3 August 2019 at 3pm.
BURY
Following continued and comprehensive discussions with the ownership at Bury and other interested parties throughout Monday, the EFL Board is not satisfied it has received the necessary evidence in regard to the outstanding information it requires that demonstrates how the Club will be funded moving forwards.
As a result of not meeting Monday’s 5pm deadline, which had been extended on two previous occasions, the EFL Board feels it has been placed in an unenviable position and, regrettably, has opted to take the reluctant decision to suspend Saturday’s opening day fixture with MK Dons under the provision of EFL Regulation 28.2.
In addition, the EFL Board, if not in possession of the necessary evidence by 12pm on Friday 2 August 2019, will make a determination as to whether to suspend Bury’s away fixture at Accrington Stanley on Saturday 10 August 2019.
As has been the case throughout this entire process, the EFL will continue to offer its full assistance to the ownership at Bury, but remains clear that while the League is here to support the Club through some extremely complex and complicated issues, the outstanding matters can only be resolved with the cooperation from the Club itself.
This isn't looking good for Bury, has this ever happened before?
Dont even remember this happening when Luton and Portsmouth were in their darkest of days - Let alone the fact that Bury should be on a bloody high after getting promotion last term

Or even Blackpool when Riga was there and they had about 8 pros the Thursday before the season started.

Or even Charlton last season when we didn’t even have a full bench and there were posters on CL going into meltdown because we were going to be relegated...
Seems the PFA have recused Bolton by giving them a £2m loan which'll allow the takeover to complete and so allow Bolton to play against Wycombe on the weekend - Makes me wonder though why the same wasnt done for Bury???

Because I suppose they dont have faith that they will get their money back.
Not quite sure i understand the Bury situation. They obviously have players and can play the fixture, as they've been playing pre-season friendlies. They won at Port Vale at the weekend.
But the EFL call the game off.
Meanwhile owner Steve Dale has still not satisfied the League, according to its rules, that he has the money to run the club, which he bought for £1 in December.
So from that we can safely assume that the EFL didn't do any proper checks.
Now the EFL announce that Bury will face a disciplinary committee for failing to fulfil a fixture.

I THINK the Efl are worried they won’t complete the season so don’t want them playing any fixtures until they can prove otherwise.

Didnt the EFL admit that they let it pass in December as they didnt want Bury to fold and agreed for the new owner to send in the "fit & proper" papers later......which he still hasnt satisfied.

It's alright though because MK Dons will have their full name in the programme at Wimbledon this year. Shambles.

Whats the point you're trying to make here? making a club respect the name of an opponent is a shambles?

The point is instead of focussing on important matters like poor ownership, they EFL are more bothered by trivial matters

And because Bolton are a bigger club obviously. 🙂
Seems that Bury will also face disciplinary action for not completing the fixture this Saturday
Hang on, wasnt them that asked for it to be suspended in the first place!!
