Bury’s troubles worsened this afternoon as club legend Nicky Adams revealed he is set to leave the club.
The Shakers a beset with financial problems and players have lashed out in the past about a lack of wages. Last night, a local MP claimed to have spoken to the owner who assured him all players had been paid. That doesn’t seem to be the case.
32-year-old Nicky Adams only signed a new deal a couple of months ago, but that’s been rejected by the Football League and he now seeks a future away from Gigg Lane.
“Very sad that I have to write this message but I’ll always deal with things head on,” Adams posted.
“I signed a new contract in March which I was buzzing about only for the Football League to reject it and send it back. What’s worse, is I was only told about this the week after the season had finished as no-one informed me or the gaffer until then.
“I spoke out the best I could about the chaos going on behind the scenes at the club and people’s families are the most important thing. Unfortunately I will be leaving Bury FC and going onto a new challenge. I just want to say a massive thank you to the manager and all his staff and my team mates who are friends for life for the chance to be part of an unbelievable season that I’ll never forget.
“We made history and no-one can ever take that from us. Shakers fans, all I can say is thank you. I started here as a boy and I’m glad we could all share some fantastic memories together. I’ll forever be a fan of this great club.”
As expected, fans have come down on the side of the midfielder, who helped guide his side to a second-place finish in League Two last season. The anger is directed at the chairman, a man who seems intent on taking the club down.
