• C&N Sporting Risk cites mortgage problem and ‘overall state’• Bury and Bolton: two of oldest clubs face expulsionBury are facing expulsion from the English
Football League after 125 years of continuous membership because of the collapse of a last‑minute proposed deal to buy the club. Bury’s owner, Steve Dale, had been given a firm deadline of 5pm BST on Tuesday, after a series of deadlines that were not met, either to provide proof he has the money to finance the club and its debts or to conclude a sale.
On Friday C&N Sporting Risk, a data and analytics company owned by Rory Campbell, formerly a technical scout and analyst at West Ham, and Henry Newman, a coach and former joint manager of Barnet, confirmed it was interested in buying Bury, and the EFL set the Tuesday deadline for the deal to be substantially concluded.
