I know there are those on here who have it in for TF, but he and other shareholders have 'done the right thing', stood by the club and (so far) carried the financial can themselves.
I heard an interesting programme on BBC 5 Live last week. One football industry finance specialist they'd approached said that, Bury apart, there were TWO other clubs in imminent danger of losing their FL share/licence. He said Bolton were a little over 2 weeks away from folding (subsequently general news as of yesterday) and one other.
He wasn't prepared to name that club on grounds of commercial confidentiality, but that it would become know in just a few weeks.
Next time someone pipes up in favour of getting new owners, just be very careful what you wish for.
I know that times have changed even since our days in the Prem, but I am sure that our owners must be very frustrated with how other clubs are dealing with promotion and relegation.
There is no doubt that we were in the wrong with how we approached gaining promotion, survival in the Prem and subsequent relegation and we were duly punished.
But have other clubs taken on board our experience? What did the EFL learn from our experience?
QPR spent a fortune to buy promotion. They spent a fortune once promoted. Thanks to managers, agents and daft owners, we had very little of value to sell once relegated.
We then tried to convert debt to equity to avoid punishment. Although not within the rules, it was within the spirit of what the rules were designed to protect against.
The EFL punishment would have put many other clubs out of existence. The real punishment is always on the supporters.
We are still paying for the crazy choices of the playing staff that saw freeloaders populate our club with no re-sale value. The punishment dished out is likely to be the highest for some considerable time.
But Wolves repeated our act of buying promotion and spending big.
Other clubs like Sheffield Wednesday, Derby, Forest and Villa have substantially overspent and then exploited a daft new loophole in selling their stadium to the owners. Allowable, but hardly within the spirit.
Fulham spent over £100m to retain Prem status, and fail - but have assets that they can sell (unlike QPR).
Villa have also spent big time - only 2 players from their Championship team in the starting line up. Sheffield United and Norwich's spend has been far more modest though.
So very frustrating for our current owners who have remained committed to QPR rather than call time on their own mis-management.
But as others have said above, the gap between 'the haves and the have nots' is now beyond belief.
The EFL has presided over ownership changes that has thrown clubs and communities to the wall.
It is also hard to understand the differing treatments of Bury and Bolton - especially with hindsight.
We may hate our current plight (although I am really enjoying seeing our current squad) but at least we are being made to conform.
By comparison, Bury signed Nick Maynard last season (and several others) on wages that they could not afford (Morgan said to be on £6k per week).
Bury bought promotion to the third tier with the current owner buying the club for £1, again with hindsight, where was the EFL scrutiny.
With administration comes the 12 point deduction and all that does is defer relegation for the season and make the club less attractive to potential purchasers. I am not saying that the club / owners should not be punished, but it would appear that in Bury's case the plan was to buy the club, buy promotion and then sell for a hefty profit. When that was not forth coming, the owner can just say that he is no longer (or able) funding the club. He is then able to ruin the club if he cannot recoup his investment.
Surely, with the money slushing around there should be a way to provide interim finance to protect clubs from their owners. Maybe from a transfer levy or from the imposed fines.
Maybe the EFL need to do far more on checking out potential owners. Maybe when owners acquire clubs they need to enter into an agreement with the EFL about the terms of any future disposal.
Maybe the EFL should request cash forecasts from every club on a quarterly basis - perhaps transfers should only be sanctioned when accompanied by a cash forecast and a Statement of Affairs.
Maybe there needs to be a process whereby clubs can be converted into community assets - albeit in the lower divisions.
But if the EFL do not sit down and form a strategy, Bury and Bolton will just be the tip of the iceberg.
Sadly, history shows that the EFL has not got a Scooby!
