All the way from Sevilla, Spain. Modern football is killing small clubs. Viva el Bury FC

[@JohnSmith-hk1lx]

Not modern football. It is called greed. And greed is not only killing football and other sports as well, it is doing much bigger harm. It is causing powerty in the world which again is the reason for many millions trying to leave their country. And this is only the start. As long as people do not even want to discuss the problem we are even further away from finding a solution.

Stephen Mason very true.. but it needs to be. If football wasn’t a business then people would have to get jobs and couldn’t focus on training and we wouldn’t have wonderful players to watch. So as unfortunate the whole money and business aspect is, it’s necessary but I think it got out of hand especially since Neymar but that’s just my opinion

[@craigwythe4581]

From an Ipswich Town Fan. My heart goes out to all the Bury fans going though an unspeakable reality. 130 years of existence only to be closed in a blink of an eye. Their loyal fans made Bury football club what is is, not a tinpot millionaire. I am hopeful that with a continued support, a new team will rise from the ashes in the very near future. The football club needed more time to find a suitable owner who loves Bury football club. Bury is a club who play good football, who beat all the odds last season getting promotion, and have won the FA Cup. But sadly because of money and poor management the club is no more! devastating.... What has happened to Bury, will happen to other clubs in the future no doubt. So what does the future of English league football look like? Will it consist of Premier League under 21 or B teams to make up the numbers? (Which would be a travesty) Who will be next, and can anything be done to stop this ever happening again? Let's be honest, without money where would Man City be now? Since 2008 Man City have spent £1.4 billion on over 70 players. Without the financial backing they would be in exactly the same position as Bury right now. I hope Bury can come back somehow, so their beloved fans can support THEIR TEAM once more with pride 😥

For those who are saying that the likes of Manchester clubs and Liverpool should have given them money and helped them. There are rules and regulations which disallow premier league club to give money to the epl clubs.
