Didn't know anything about this!
Tyson Furys press conference.
Half the world of boxing, at Morecambe FC? the very idea!

Not a word about it from the football club though. A massive missed oppurtunity. The club should be all over social media with what is going on today.

Hmmmm.

Tuesday night Derek Adams is at The Mazuma.
Wednesday lunchtime, Tyson Fury is at The Mazuma.

You really couldn't make it up could you??!!!

And maybe - just maybe - there is some as yet hidden reason why the club have NOT been making a lot of noise about this.

Who knows????? Not me, that's for sure.

Tyson is presumably paying the club for use of the facilities, which is a nice thing for him to do, because he could take his business anywhere. If that’s the case, it wouldn’t be that cool to basically hijack his press conference and make it about the club really, would it?

Frank Warren could biy the Club with his loose change

Greg did ask but it doesn't sound too promising... unless Tyson can be swayed!

Doesn't matter who buys the club as long as they have money and are genuine

But it must be soon... Very soon

The club is on the edge of the abyss

Could very quickly go like Worcester Warriors just ask their loyal fans

Did it help us get publicity as it went world wide? Perhaps a Saudi Arabian outfit might take notice? Or the Chinese??

We've already been there and look how that went, maybe sell shirts to Shanghai. - oh hang on

And half and half scarves in our own Club Shop.......

I know of at least one person who bought a Shanghai Clever shirt from our own shop.

Well if Mr Fury is still even slightly interested in buying MFC, perhaps a bout could be arranged between himself and Jason. Winner takes all.

Think he will have to get to the end of the queue

Even if Tyson isn't interested in buying the club, could we please arrange a bout between him & Whittingham, just for the hell of it?

Massive coup for MFC and just shows that Fury has a soft spot for the club and is willing to help us out. Perhaps he doesn't want the hassle of owning us himself buy he's certainly a good neighbour

Or just a cheap option !

Just seen an article about Tyson Fury's upcoming fight. Apparently he is being paid £100million for the fight. Makes you think/wonder/hope!!!

The problem is if Whittingham thought that Tyson was interested he would put the price up !

Tyson could provide just a minute fraction of the interest on his savings to save our club and ensure that we survive until a person or persons offer to take over the club sometime in the near future.

I understand Tyson does not want to become the owner but could in the short term provide funds to see off Jason and Co and give some breathing space for a future owner(s) to be able to negotiate a buy out in a less hostile environment.

Wishful thinking on my part......

Very good 12 minute programme shown on TNT Sports recently about Tyson's life in Morecambe, partly filmed at the press conference and also featuring Carl Frampton...

Thanks for that John L. Well worth watching with my morning coffee.

And people question what he does for the area. The Council should be all over this as they should have been every TT season with McGuiness.
