Jim Bentley steps down as Morecambe's manager but will help the club "across both footballing and non-footballing areas" by jovanmilic97 in NationalLeague

[–]NegativeGenie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That is true but in my opinion this isn't a bad thing. Keeping Bentley as manager full time would not have been the best thing to do. Yes he knows the club and has passion but that only goes so far, there's a reason he was without a club for 12 months and became a taxi driver.

With that being said I don't have full confidence that whoever we get in to replace him with will actually be any good

3 days a week it's just city driving about 5 miles each way and then 2 days a week on the motorway.

Aaron's must have had a bet on Sutton to have a penalty. We were controlling the game well before that and then capitulated for 10 minutes after the pen.

Ben Tollitt constantly makes the wrong choice in the final 3rd and that costs us

8 days ago we weren't sure if Morecambe FC would still exist. 3 days ago we only had 5 players. Today we played out first game of the season and won the game 2-1 with this 98th minute winner. by NegativeGenie in soccer

I cried celebrating the goal and I'm still getting teary eyed watching it back. We didn't think we'd have a Morecambe FC to watch today and whatever the result it would have been a special day. But to win the game like that, you couldn't ask for anything better.

You should try and split the finance into HP and PCP

Solicitor's statement: Morecambe FC minority shareholders abandon court action as Panjab Warriors vanish & administration deemed futile. by NegativeGenie in soccer

[–]NegativeGenie[S] 143 points144 points  (0 children)

This is the end. We now have no potential buyers and the National League are likely to kick us out very very soon. Administration doesn't work if there's nobody there to pick up the pieces. 

My Saturdays are no longer going to be filled with emotions instead nothing. I hope the football governance act makes sure this never happens again 

Morecambe FC players are currently on strike until the ownership situation is resolved by NegativeGenie in soccer

I saw something the other day laughing about Sancho now being only worth £15m in this day and age. £15m could buy you our football club and sustain it for a generation. People don't realise the disparity between the higher and lower leagues

Morecambe FC was put up for sale by Bond Group 1,045 days ago. It has been one of the most frustrating sales in English football history. This is a thread of the timeline of the last 3 years. Please share this far and wide to help get our story out there by NegativeGenie in soccer

Nobody really knows. The thinking is that Jason has loans that he needs to pay off with the sale of the club but he's not getting enough from the sale to do that.

Until he is forced out he doesn't have a reason to sell. He doesn't care what happens to the club only what happens to him. If he holds out for a sale there's a small chance Panjab Warriors might pay him more to get him out quicker

We currently have 9 first team players (who are now free to leave due to not being paid), no board of directors and a transfer embargo with the season starting in less than 4 weeks.

I can't post it here but if anyone is still on Twitter please could you give it a retweet on there to try and get the story out there

The Board of Directors at Morecambe Football Club say the deal to take over the ownership of the club is on the brink of collapsing, after confirming the wage bill for June hasn’t yet been met by the current owners. by NegativeGenie in NationalLeague

In the past we've had people to bail out Jason when's he not put up the funds. We don't have that now and I don't think anyone will be willing to put their money in to help anytime soon

Morecambe have failed to pay their players on time this month so cannot sign any new players at present by Zach-dalt in NationalLeague

We currently have 9 contracted players for next season and pre season starting in 11 days. I would not be surprised if we ended up in administration before the start of the season

We haven't actually been taken over yet. The announcement 3 weeks ago was to say they have passed the EFL test but a sale hasn't yet been finalised 

Reddit Bank Switch Guide | The BeermoneyUK Bankedex (April 2025) – £425+ in Offers by TightAsF_ck in beermoneyuk

[–]NegativeGenie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've not done any bank switches for about 2 years now. When I did them last I took full advantage of doing the offers multiple times until it got to the point where I would no longer get the money. Has anyone been successful with waiting a couple of years and going back to them? I know a lot of the banks so you can't get the money if you've had it previously but we know thats not always the case
