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.

That would mean expulsion from the EFL and the only way the club could continue would be to reapply to join a league further down the English pyramid for the 2020-21 season. On Thursday, EFL executive chairman Debbie Jevans offered some flexibility by telling the Bury Times newspaper that an extension could be granted"if there is a credible option".

Bury joined the Football League in 1894, nine years after they were founded and they have always played at their Gigg Lane ground.
