As I understand it, the money Bury get from the Nugent sale is going to pay off debts and buy back Gigg Lane !! I don't think that Bury will be "splashing out" when it comes to signing new players. (and i'm not for one minute suggesting we will)
Not wishing to rain on your parade or anything, but the harsh reality is sides like Peterborough,Bradford and Shrewsbury have the cash "on the hip" so to speak. ( I believe that the Marc Pugh guy you mentioned left the Shakers for a better deal at Shrewsbury)
Whilst I'd wish Bury all the best(results against Stanley apart), at THIS level, It's a fact of life that when any club in the lower reaches unearths some young blood with talent, invariably the bigger clubs will come a calling. It's then down to the selling club to negotiate and structure a deal which will benefit them in the long run (i.e. sell on clauses etc. etc.)
If (and in Bury's case it has been proven) that serves to protect the immediate future of the selling club,then I'm sure most fans at this level realise that it's the only way forward.
