Bury FC entered administration last month
AN investor at Ilkeston Town Football Club has revealed he has been in talks with Steve Dale to buy Bury FC.
However, in an address to the Derbyshire club’s supporters, David Hilton has said he “cannot proceed” with a deal for the Shakers, who entered administration last month.
Hilton, who has put funds into the Northern Premier League South East Division club, is a director of Nottinghamshire firm Maxwell Cohen.
He said: “I would like to offer clarity on a matter that has the potential to cause a little uncertainty or unrest.
“After receiving many messages and emails recently regarding Bury Football Club, I can confirm that I have participated in discussions over recent weeks about potentially purchasing the club.
