Well with our budget only just being decided and 10 or 11 players to come in assuming the other three who haven't signed yet,do it is interesting to see that Bury have already signed three players and two are players I would have loved to seen come to us- Jermaine Beckford and Stephen Dawson (from Scunthorpe). Of course Northern clubs have a huge advantage with so many more clubs at our level around them but the truth is we probably don't have the financial clout to get players from even say Exeter. Both those players would have been of the sort of quality that a side aiming for the Championship should be signing. I await with interest who our first signings will be but hope that we see some action in this direction soon as in my opinion the "late" signings are generally going to be ones who use us as a last resort rather than us being top of their list. The trouble we have is that if you want a player who has a good goalscoring record then they are going to be a) expensive or 2) have a lot of clubs interested in them.and this is true whether you are going for a striker or a goalscoring midfielder or winger. It may be a case of getting someone like Beckford who are on their way down but have the chance that by dropping down they are able to find the net regularly again.Sorry stevek192 but we have had too much of this in the past. And I do not believe that is DCs philosophy. There are good reasons for not rushing in because agents start with a 'hopeful' figure and as the new season beckons they become more realistic. Apart from which there are many reasons why a player might prefer a northern club - price of property for a start - you can live in a mansion in Bury for the same cost of a semi in Bristol area. (Rightmove) and living costs generally are cheaper. Also, I suspect you have no more idea than I do what DC is doing right now - it may surprise!

How the hell will they sustain this level of spending when they get such pitiful attendances?

If I was the EFL I'd be asking the same question, they lost £2.5m the season before last, probably similar last season, or top of big debts already, even if they went up they are unlikely to get substantially increased attendances, it's all v. odd what's going on.

And it's not like they're handing out 1 year deals either. I can see things going a bit Leyton Orient if the carry on.

I have a feeling Bury will underachieve. Lee Clark is overrated as a manager. Done well with Huddersfield when he had money but no great shakes since.
Bury seem to be flashing their cocks about and I'd much rather the way we are quietly but confidently, going about things.

Agree but I wouldn't really expect the EFL to do anything. If they did it would be a first! Clearly I know sod all about Bury but having followed their forum every now and again even their fans are questioning where the money is coming from. And according to some there is still an outstanding court order against them. One of their posters explained the finances about how the club is run which was an eye opener, it explained how they take out loans to buy development land and use some of it to finance the club. Very strange but as I said I really know sod all so it may be a regular way to do it. But I'm very glad that we seem to be doing it a different way. UTG!

Obscure fact: Bury and Blackburn Rovers, just 18 miles apart, have not played one another for over 37 years since their last meeting in the old Third Division.

Just shows how much we lost by the snake insisting on his release clause, and Vaughan is a few years older.

True, but Vaughan is a much better player. Bury remind me of what Gills did last season. Pushed the boat out, everyone's pre season favourite, but had a dog-dirt season. No time for little clubs like Bury splashing the cash which they haven't got. Relegation fodder in my humble eyes.

I read somewhere Bury have sold/are selling some of their youngsters for quite big money. That might explain some of the cash being thrown around.

Vaughan's had one decent goal scoring season in league football at 28 years old, how does that make him a better footballer than the snake, who had improved year on year for the last 3 seasons with us.

In the past few years they have sold Emeka Obi to Liverpool, Jacob Bedeau to Aston Villa and Matty Foulds to Everton, bringing in over £1mil apparently. There is another 16-year-old (not named) in their academy attracting interest from Prem/Championship clubs and Callum Styles has also been scouted by Prem clubs and could be set for a move in the near future.

To be fair to Vaughan he has got an average of a goal every 3.5 games at Championship level. Not too shabby.

Perhaps Bury already know that Vaughan will leave this summer ,and they are spending the cash in advance of his sale. So that they perhaps get better deals on who they sign ? Its the logical reason for Burys signing spree...plus they just avoided the drop so need to do something to make it a better season.
