What the petition asks
The EFL confirmed on Tuesday 27th August 2019 that Bury would be expelled and become the first team to drop out of the league since Maidstone's liquidation in 1992. This decision was made despite claims of a potential £7 million take over offer from SJ Global International.
The offer to buy Bury came in late on Monday meeting the deadline set and the EFL were immediately contacted. This petition is to ask the EFL to consider the offer made by SJ Global International.
