In 31-year-old Chris Casper, Bury did have the League's youngest and most up and coming manager. Christopher Martin "Chris" Casper (born 28 April 1975, Burnley, Lancashire) is an English football manager In the past, they have been managed by Graham Barrow, Mike Walsh, Stan Ternent, Neil Warnock, Andy Preece.

Andrew Preece (born March 27 1967 in Evesham, Worcestershire) is an English former professional footballer. More recently Casper had asked Martin Scott to step in as the new assistant manager due to the departure of Ian Miller to Leicester City. PLEASE NOTE This section is the introduction Please do not add too much detail here During the close season former Lincoln City manager Keith Alexander was appointed Director of Football.
Following yet another heavy defeat at the hands of Darlington, it was announced on the 14th January 2008 that Chris Casper and Keith Alexander had left the club, the board terminating the pair's contracts simultaneously. A club statement said the pair had "lost the confidence of a large majority of the fans". Chris Brass, formerly the manager of the club's Centre of Excellence, was given the vacant manager's post on a caretaker basis. His first match in charge resulted in a cup upset, the Shakers knocking Norwich City out of the FA Cup in the third round. Despite this early success, results remained inconsistent, and a more full time solution was sought by the board.
On the 4th February, the club revealed Alan Knill to be their new manager. Knill had made more than 150 appearances for the Shakers as a central defender between the glory years of 1989 and 1993. More recently, Knill had been employed at Chesterfield, as their assistant manager and had had a spell in charge of Rotherham United. Although his managerial record before joining Bury was mixed, the combination of him being a former player and cheap to employ made him a popular choice with both the players and fans.
Their home, Gigg Lane, is owned outright by Bury F. C who rent it to FC United for their home games.
This season Bury finished 13th in the table.
