jims tactics

[Christies Child]

after supporting the club for over 50 years, last night was the final straw for me.

I was screaming for him to get off his backside and give the team some direction.

in his interview last week these were his excuses

wind, dark nights, travel, weather, injuries, small squad, training, heavy slippy pitches, squad rotation.

sorry but Jim must go

Who with to replace Jim exactly?

After Jim & Ken signing new contracts I very much doubt it is going to happen soon as we have no money to bring anybody else in. Not many managers could work on the budget Jim does & keep us up season after season. He had no more money to play with even after selling Jack in the summer. We have to make do with what we have got. Unless we get new investment things will not change any time soon. Last night was unacceptable & frustrating for us all but it happens, nothing more we can do about it now, but move on to the next match. The mood will change if we manage to win 3 more games in the JPT. Onwards and upwards.

Totally agree.....but one revenue stream that appears to have fallen by the way side is sponsorship of The Globe. I understand that the areas largest employer has not even been approached. If true then those responsible need to be asked why.....

[mrpotatohead]

yes come on Heron House, why?

[quote="Christies Child"]A very close friend of mine commented after the game that Jim looked as though he'd had enough of it all and wouldn't be surprised if he walked. I'm not sure about that but I do know that I'm beginning to loose interest and that match days are no longer giving me the buzz that they once did.

Blimey CC if you are only loosing the buzz now you have done well I lost it years ago.

He must have been reading the Jim Harvey book of excuses

[George Dawes]

just wished the we'd been more patient when offering Jim & Ken contract, we had plenty of time.

where are stuck now, and crowds will get worse.

we will probably beat Barnet away from home, away form is not a problem, we look a different team, the home form is a serious issue, we can't afford to drop below the 1000 mark at home over the winter months

If you're so keen on getting rid of Jim Bentley, PLEASE send him down the road to OLDHAM
for he could have had that job ten times over for me!

and then just don't bother going to home games and getting a season ticket, just save all your money, and go on away trips instead, then its happy days.

Who is the area's largest employer CC?

[mrpotatohead]

The woman who has the wool shop on pedder street is a big lass, is it her?

[Freez]

She's also completely mental, and if approached will tell you no, she doesn't sell wool!!

[mrpotatohead]

The Sheepmoat stadium?

[mrpotatohead]

NHS? I wish our stadium was called University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust Arena.

that would put folk off,the fear of infectious illness.

As much as I agree with some of the posts expressing personal disappointment with the way the team were, I can't help but laugh my c0ck off at people calling Jim spineless and supposedly hiding in the dug outs



Sack Bentley, who do we get with no money....

Until Jim sorts out this horrendous home form I will continue wanting a new manager!!
KEVIN ELLISON STAND UP!!

[mrpotatohead]

Fuck that!

[seantheshrimp]

The obvious choice is a club legend is sat in the stands most games and commands respect. That man is the one and only mr drummond

I mean come on, it is pot calling the kettle

you hide behind a keyboard, calling for someone elses job

Jim will be as gutted as we are, he just doesn't come on here spouting sh!t

You expected an apology, moments later one was found on the BBC website.


Have any of you sent your complaints to the club direct, or do you expect them to find your comments on here and contact you.

One more thing, Ken McKenna is Jims taction (has been since the partnership got together)


Some of you need to change your username to "moaning Minnie", "Statler", "Waldorf".



Sack Bentley, who do we get with no money....

Totally agree. Some so-called fans on here need to get a grip, have a reality check, or tell Jim to his face what they think. Wasn't the world a better place before the internet came along...

funniest thing I have read for a while , that and MR Spuddy being dragged down the isle by a fat hairy moose

I suppose my frustration is that this is probably the best squad I've seen at Morecambe, especially given our budget. This squad also plays fantastic football like destroying Portsmouth for 45 mins, beating three League 1 sides away and at times playing some delightful football. As a result, for the first time under Jim's management it feels like they're under performing. There are some good excuses like Peter Murphy's injury but there aren't many others except budget.

This should be the season we pushed on and challenged for the play offs and done OK in the cups. Instead our home performances are clearly leading to a decline in our fan base that isn't sustainable. There's very little going on off the pitch to provide hope of new investment, new sponsors or new long-term initiatives. We can't afford to get into a home slump and have to turn this around, again at home, or you start to worry about the future.

I've got faith in Jim, Ken and the team but they collectively need to ditch the excuses and start thinking positively and battle together to get some decent home results.

[Jettyson]

You can't have a one size fits all plan.
We currently have one plan which works well away from home but not at the Globe.
Plan B needed (i.e 4/4/2 AT HOME)

Sorry but he would be no better than Jim or Ken. Why some are happy for Jim to go is beyond belief.
