Former Chelsea striker Marko Mitrovic has revealed he was set to sign for Bury before they were kicked out of the Football League.
The striker's last club was Serbia's Radnicki Nis.
And he revealed to Fotbollskanalen: "I was 100 per cent positive that everything would be okay. We had already agreed on everything and I was just waiting to get to sign. I was ready at the start of the season.
"I thought the club would be saved and it also seemed that EFL wanted to save the club. I never thought it was not going to work out.
"It was really a big club. They had the old Manchester City facilities and the training facility is located near Manchester United's and Manchester City's training facilities in Carrington. It would have been a really good move, but this is how it sometimes is."
