I hold an influential position at a neighbouring football club of similiar standing to Bury. My experience has affirmed that small local clubs can simply not survive in the current climate of professional football. I'm confident that your consortium will find my proposal to merge a number of local league clubs of interest.

I'm sure your consortium realises that the way forward is through mergers, as bigger is better. There is no future in Nationwide League football but together we can take on the Premiership and even into Europe. Supporters do not need to be consulted anymore - Money men such as your goodselves run this game now. I'll be in touch again soon.
