Bury EXCLUSIVE: Owner Steve Dale asks fans and businesses to pledge £2.7m by TONIGHT to save club from EFL expulsion

In his latest interview with talkSPORT, the Shakers chief says any money sent in will be repaid in kind and again insisted he ‘only wants to save’ the League One club.

Bury have until midnight on Friday to avoid being expelled from the English Football League, and Dale says the club need to raise £2.7MILLION to prevent being kicked out.

The owner also remarked that he “could walk out and just say ‘I don’t give a s**t about Bury’”, but is committed to saving the club.

He told talkSPORT host Jim White on Friday morning: “Fans, anyone out there who will pledge money to come to us…

“If they come to us and say we’ll put £100 in, £1000 in, if the big players put in £100,000, £500,000, whatever it is, we want it pledged to the company.

“We need a pledge of £2.7m plus to save Bury.

“If the company, Bury Football Club, needs the money and needs to use it, they’ll put up shares and pay 2.5% interest on that money.

“We don’t need it, let me say that, unless the EFL pull another stroke.

“So what we’re looking to do now is go out there and say to local businesses – we’ve got massive firms in our areas, we’ve got the Boohoo boys, Together Finance, the old card guy Ron Wood, we’re got loads of people within Bury who will maybe look at it and think, ‘well it’s short change out of my pocket, I’ll pledge some money’.

“If we take any money off someone we’ll pay interest on it and we will secure it on shares in the club.

“Let me make this clear, we’re not looking for charity here, because we don’t need it. But the EFL want it.

“The EFL have made this ridiculous claim that we need this money, but we’re saying we don’t!”
