So I count 9 clubs in the Greater Manchester area (plus a number more in surrounding Lancashire county) with a population, according to Wikipedia of 2.8 million - the same population as South London which has four professional teams (none the same size of the big two in Greater Manchester).Henry Irving said:

19 sides within an hour of me in top 5 divisions. I know of at least one person who goes regularly for every club except Salford.

I really hope both clubs make it. With so much money around at the top of the game, all this feels so wrong.0

Sky reported this morning that there were further takeover talks @ Bolton today
That came from the Administrator so hopefully the talks were positive1 -
It was a long time ago, but many of us of a certain age remember what it feels like to be in such a position.5

It's killed off clubs in the north-west before, the original Accrington Stanley went to the wall because it was too close to Blackburn/Burnley and other clubs in that area.se9addick said:

It was worse for us as we weren't in administration, we were going under and out the league.Also remember we had a game called off but our opponents didn't want a postponement as they had ordered the pies. Blackburn I think, lovely northerners.

Not so much Bury (who's glory days were a long time ago), but Bolton are a far more significant club. 6th in the top flight in 2005, only relegated from the PL in 2012. Even last season they averaged over 14600Rothko said:

got a link? Can't see it reported anywhere_MrDick said:SKY SPORTS NEWS: Bury takeover is off. Potential buyers have officially pulled outThe EFL Board has been informed that C&N Sporting Risk will no longer be pursuing their interest in Bury FC.
The League announced at the weekend that it was working exclusively with the Club and C&N in an attempt to finalise a change of control at the Club. However, following a period of due diligence, C&N have opted not to progress matters.
The League continues to be in discussions with Bury FC in advance of today’s 5pm deadline and will provide a further update as appropriate.

That's surely them gone then unless they get another extension? How are they going to find another buyer in the next hour?_MrDick said:SKY SPORTS NEWS: Bury takeover is off. Potential buyers have officially pulled out
Did wonder if the deal was off when i read earlier they had suddenly stopped selling tickets for Saturday's game with Doncaster.1 -
League Two teams could be delighted tonight
No one will get relegated from that League this season as Bury / Bolton are surely going to take their place now as well as two spots in the National League!!0 -
R.I.P Bury FC
Cant see them getting a new buyer now.
Still expect Bolton to by fine due to there history someone will come along, but cant see it with Bury.

Bury are gone, such a shame and horrible to see a club go the way it’s gone. They’ve got no chance with how the game has gone and how ridiculously rich United and City are, right on their doorstep.
The irony is Sky are reporting this as you would expect, but they’re one of the main reasons why these things are going to keep happening. Until clubs are run properly, until the game has a fairer distribution of the money pumped into, until people start listening and helping the smaller clubs, we are all in danger of this terrible fate.
So much about the game which I love, which makes it beautiful. But there’s so much which is ugly and I hate.10 -
So sad. Another team gone. Whilst I am not a Roland fan, at least he is trying to run the club on a (in his own) financial footing. To be honest with Bolton. Years and years ago. Gartside and his son were more than willing to do deals with players agents and take back handers with agents. How did Bolton end up with £160 million in debt when they didn't buy too many players when they were up in the Premier League? A lot of their players were out of contract and so must have involved in huge signing on fees. Wern't they in debt about 3/4yrs ago and went int administration. I don't want these clubs to go out of business but how did they get into this situation again after the last administration?1
