MANCHESTER (Reuters) - One of English football's oldest clubs, Bury, face expulsion from the professional game if they fail to prove on Friday to the Football League (EFL) that they have solved their financial problems.

The EFL has said the club from Greater Manchester must prove it can satisfy creditors and show enough operational funding for the current season but the league has said it is frustrated by a lack of response to previous demands.
