We've only just escaped relegation! Let's take it a step at a time and not expect too much at this stage. That's half the problem with many of our fans (and the same applies at most clubs) instead of sensible attainable aims at the start of every season they expect us to be at least pushing for the play offs. I'd be happy this next year to finish about half way with the promise of more to come.

Good to see one of them on the pitch celebrating with the players and fellow Directors.

Hope that what he saw from the fans makes his decision to takeover even more convincing.

If I was nervous I dread to think what he felt like he could have been watching his investment half in value.

You just hope the more they get involved the more it gets under their skin and they start to see us as not just a business investment.

So that's 2 directors still on the board with no obvious interest in the club. They should invite Diego to join again for a full house.

I am sure in all this saga there is something we the fans are not being told. After all if two new owners have joined the board then what are Burnard and McGuigan doing still being board members? I am not convinced about any sale of the club etc. Time will tell and eventually the truth will out!

I agree. Still more to come from all of this in my opinion.

Jason Wittingham and Colin Goldring now both officially on the board after being appointed on 14 May.

Graham Burnard and PMG still Directors.

It's all gone very quiet again and no news of the fans forum yet.

The new owners said we would start to see some off field changes in the next couple of weeks but nothing yet.

Does anyone know if work on the pitch has started?

He may bollock me for saying but via PM he has told me he has decided not to post on here for the near future . Looking at it from the outside I think it is probably due to the personal vendetta a small number of members have had against him on here . You know who you are and I'm sure you are proud !

Yes , that is true and as you say it is probably just a couple of members who have posted nasty personal comments and one of them if you look at his record only ever posts to respond in a nasty vitriolic way to CC.

These are reasons why so few members post on here and increasing numbers are posting on the Face Book site for Morecambe FC. where there are no pen names , if someone says something to you they do it under their real name.

Is this the same CC that made comments about the chairman's personal life but ignored all requests to explain his comments? I was one of those involved but if someone hints at things, they should be prepared to be challenged and back up their comments with facts. I'd challenge anyone else in the same way, it's not a vendetta and it's certainly not character assassination.

Not everyone uses their real name on Facebook, it's no different to any other online platform.

Slightly worried that Colins legal specialism is restrictive covenant advice and Jason’s is buying and selling of real estate - let’s hope we have not got two in who think they can break the ground up and sell the land - an expert in legal covenant would have read all the info before investing maybe...
Neither have personal wealth to run a club with losses like ours - one of the Companies Mayfair Fin Ltd avoided being struck off in January 2018 and none of the Companies he has Directorships have money.
Maybe some people know far more than they are telling us.....
Love right now to be proved very wrong for the sake of our club and us the fans!

One or two people are wondering if pmg is part of the bond investment group.

There was no incident in general just a constant questioning or disagreeing about most posts he put on . I know the incident you mention was passed onto Neil by another party who's name he was not willing to divulge and rightly so . If you know it's wrong or think it is mr grills you should just correct the comment and not try to make a big thing out of it . I know Keith jumped on this incident eventually but some worse behavior is overlooked. I thinkhe should have stepped in sooner and maybe we wouldn't have lost yet another member .
