Bury players tell owner: 'on your bike'

In a strongly worded statement unpaid Bury players have urged owner Steve Dale to sell up before the club is brought to its knees. A winding up order against the club will be heard in the High Court on June 19th: Walk away

Dale took over the club in December, but put it up for sale in April after saying the financial situation was worse than anticipated.

Non-playing staff were finally paid March salaries last week and received 50% of April wages on Monday. The Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) stepped in to pay 50% of money owed for March and April to Bury's players, who are members.
