Change the record.
There is a difference letting a bigger club that has been tracking a youngster, coming in and offering a deal, and a player given a first pro-contract, then being TRANSFER LISTED, ie, 'not wanted' a few months later. You don't see the difference?

It is stay in League 1 at all costs for me but then again, you were happy for us to slide in to non league oblivion weren't you Keith?

I'm sure you can find where I've said that? As you are indeed stuck in the past, what I said, in defence of JB was I wanted to see him have a season with money & without off-field trauma, which I don't believe is something he ever had. Again, you struggle with understanding that concept. Do you really believe that Derek would have remained at a club, where he had to pick dog muck & glass up from the pitch before training could start? Or continued to hold the club together when players & backroom staff weren't getting paid? Perhaps he would. We know Stephen Robinson would have been off like a scalded cat under those circumstances, and I hope we're never back in a position to find out how Derek would react. Jim Bentley should be a hero in the eyes of every Morecambe fan. I find it amazing that this isn't the case.
As for Connor, I still believe that there are other ways to 'alert' bigger clubs that he'd be available, other than saying he isn't wanted. Hopefully he goes, and has a great career.
