HOW long are things going to be allowed to continue like this at Gigg Lane? We are like a ship adrift without a rudder or a captain.

The "rudder" would be the stability provided by the cash investment of a prospective new owner and the "captain" would be the appointment of a manager adept and experienced in the management of a club of Bury's playing and financial standing.

If neither of these problems is addressed in the not-too-distant future, I foresee Bury disappearing over the horizon into the "Bermuda Triangle" of non-league football.
