Bought and paid for with a lot of someone else’s money. We are not going to get the same level or type of investment.

Ryan Lowe was appointed manager in May 2018. In December 2018 Steve Dale bought the club for £1 from Stewart Day who had presided owned the club during their previous 3-year tenure in League One. In the season 2018-2019, in which Bury gained promotion to League One under Lowe the players were not paid for two months and had other wage payment delayed on other months.
Bury's promotion was 'not bought and paid for' by someone else as wages were not paid and the level of investment in their promotion season was limited to paying off one winding up order demand. That an inexperienced and not fully qualified management team achieved promotion in those circumstances, whilst playing an admired 'brand' of football, was nothing short of remarkable.
These appointments make perfect sense from every angle IMO. However, I really hope there won't be a knee-jerk reaction from the fanbase if next season is not quite as successful as 21/22. This league seems to become more competitive with each passing year.
One thing is certain, Neil Dewsnip's responsibility as guide and advisor has increased significantly. Potential needs guidance.
And finally, on that subject, and without considering a direct role, I hope the club is taking seriously Neil Warnock's offer to help out with his knowledge of the English football landscape. He is not everyone's cup of tea, but hints and tips from him feeding into the management team (on a pull not push basis) won't be a net negative. I also hope we'll see him more in the stand on matchdays.

Agreed. Cooper is a quality player who just doesn't fit our system at all. I think he'll do really well in another team who play to his strengths.I don’t understand. Are you saying that Cooper isn’t quality
I think you may be right about that, such a shame for both sides about his injuries. He had a lot to offer.
I cannot share Mark Smith view on Warnock and keep him a country mile away. His ego is beyond measure with cash in his back pocket. We have a very safe pair of hands from our Director of Football downwards.
George Cooper might get his chance to shine at RM if the right bid comes in for Camara ..
There’s no need for that kind of comment for one of our players imo.
Cooper was excellent a couple seasons ago when he has the second most assists in the division I think and got himself the nickname ‘Assist King’ - you don’t get that sort of name if you aren’t any good.
He’s had injuries since so hasn’t had a proper run in the team.
Some would say it keeps costs down, buy cheap buy twice etc. Let's just see what happens this season. No doubt the club will be criticised if it goes wrong and receive no praise from the critics if it goes well.

PASOTI has given on many occasions to many good causes and this is just a very small way in which I can give something back. It’s not much but it’s all I have and I give it willingly and without expectation😇🙏

Bob Paisley was a very inexperienced manager when he took over from Shankly. But his judgement on assistants didn't turn out too badly?
