The League Two club’s Board of Directors released a statement earlier this week aiming to appease fans and clarify the nature of a ‘loan’ created to help raise revenues.

The League Two high flyers added Rotherham keeper Scott Loach to their squad, before succumbing to their first defeat in 10 games at the JD Stadium as they lost to Tranmere.

Bury come into the Tranmere game having won nine in a row at home and will be looking to progress into the JPT area semi-final.
