Shakers’ spreading festive cheer across Bury

Players, staff, and everyone’s favourite mascot, Peeler the Dog, will be out and about delivering gifts, match tickets, and festive fun this week. 




The week began last night with a visit to Bury Ballers, where the team joined our young players. Today, the Shakers head over to our partnership club Unsworth FC, sharing the spirit of the season with local grassroots players. Wednesday brings a special Sporting Memories Session, with ex-players Jason Jarrett and Wayne Entwistle joining the group for a Q&A.

On Thursday, the team will visit their neighbours at Bankfield Residential Care Home, spreading warmth and joy with residents and staff. The week concludes on Friday with a heartwarming trip to Fairfield Hospital, where players will hand out presents and spend time with patients and healthcare workers.

From football pitches to hospital wards, the Shakers are celebrating kindness, community, and everything that makes Bury FC special this Christmas.

Bury FC Club Statement December 14 2025

Bury Football Club can confirm that Michael Jolley has today been relieved of his duties as First Team Manager by mutual consent.

The Board recognises the strength of feeling expressed in recent days by supporters, staff, partners and players, and the very real impact the Board’s decision to appoint Michael has had on individuals connected to the Club.

Assistant manager Tim Lees will continue to manage the team on an interim basis while the Board undertakes a wider review of club operations. 

We will also be engaging directly with players, staff and stakeholders to listen, learn and ensure that appropriate support is available.

Our immediate priority is the welfare of our people and the stability of the Club and our community. 

We believe this step is necessary to help restore confidence, create space for reflection, and allow Bury FC to move forward in a way that reflects our values and responsibilities.

Bury Football Club remains committed to acting with integrity, transparency and respect. Further updates will be shared when appropriate.

Michael Jolley said: “I do not wish my presence to deter the board from its mission of returning the club to its rightful place in the EFL.  

“I would like to wish the board, the players, and the supporters, the very best for the future, and hope the club can continue its journey back to where it belongs.”

Bury Football Club appoints Michael Jolley as Men’s First Team Manager

We’re thrilled to confirm that Michael Jolley has been appointed Men’s First Team Manager at Bury Football Club following an extensive application and interview process.

Michael brings a wealth of coaching expertise and a fresh, ambitious vision to our club. A Cambridge University graduate with an MA in Economics and a UEFA Pro Licence, the highest coaching qualification in Europe, he combines tactical insight with a deep understanding of player development.
A Proven Coaching Journey
Michael began his coaching career in 2004 and has worked across some respected academies and clubs, including roles with Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest, Lincoln City, Crewe Alexandra and a significant spell at Burnley, where he led the Under-23s and helped nurture young talent.
Managerial Experience Across Europe
Michael’s first senior managerial role came in Sweden with AFC Eskilstuna, where he took charge in the Allsvenskan, the top professional division in Sweden. He then returned to England with Grimsby Town, steering the club through tough League Two battles before taking over as First Team Manager at Barrow.

More recently, Michael has broadened his horizons with managerial experience abroad, including a stint with Vélez CF in Spain’s Segunda Federación.

What This Means for Bury FC
As we embark on the next chapter, Michael’s blend of strategic expertise, coaching pedigree, and global management experience makes him the right leader to inspire our squad and unite our supporters. His ambition aligns with our club’s values, building success from the grassroots up and playing football with heart and intelligence.
