If PMG can't sell..

[Kendalshrimp]

Then surely for the best interest of the club, he'll really consider jims future in the summer ??

The last thing PMG want is us starting next season off in the form were playing now. If no1 buys the club then the way we're playing now would definitely see us relegated next time round and make the club even harder to sell if we was relegated to the conference !

Surely it's in the best interest for him to do the right thing if he's guna be the owner next season and won't have 100% confidence in giving jim the budget again !

If PMG can't sell then I think whoever is managing the first team will be the least of our problems.

Why would it be ? Surely someone else experienced at this level wouldn't do any worse than Jim. If we start next season the way we're finishing this one, then we'll end up rock bottom of the league under Jim !

If we've sold off all the sellable clubs assets and PMG / the directors don't have the money to keep plugging the £500k+ a year losses out of their own pockets then I'd be more concerned with the club going bust than whether we should be sacking the first team manager.

There are a myriad of ways to start a thread with the theme of "Get rid of Jim", but didn't think of this one!

[mrpotatohead]

Yes , dunno why Jim loves a club supported by such a horrible bunch of slimy backstabbing ???? anyway

Edit: Behave Mr P!

Who cant control their language ,eh Mr king Edward

Oops sorry , should have edited the quote from mr potty gob first

[mrpotatohead]

I can control my language just fine, I chose not to on this occasion.

Well, I'd rather you did on the next occasion!

I think most importantly, Jim should be considering the club's future if there's no new owner and, in all likelihood, an even smaller player budget. If there's no money for the player budget he needs, there's no money to pay off Jim and Ken. If Jim really love Morecambe and wants it to avoid relegation/bankruptcy, and he's presented with an ever smaller budget that he knows won't be enough, then he needs to do the honourable thing and fall on his sword, by resigning along with Ken. All for the good of the club.

Bit extreme isn't it?

Don't say that, there will be a few excaliburs on Christie Way tomorrow

I've been saying this for ages. I've said before that my biggest fear is of us ending up like (the old) Darlington FC.

ie, move to a new ground, fanbase dwindles rapidly, owner deserts, loses Football League status, plays in Conference, club goes bang, starts again right down the football pyramid.

I'm worried about this scenario.........

NOW.

Would you give up a paid job if you didn't have to or nothing lined up? I certainly wouldn't.

We could do with the ownership issue resolving as soon as possible.

At the fans forum PMG said there was major interest from a potential investor and there were 2 or 3 other potential investors on the sidelines. He said there could be an announcement within weeks.

Then it was announced that he was putting the club up for sale so that the club could have a budget for the manager to work with in the Summer. Presumably this was to see if any other potential investors wanted to come in and raise the stakes. Has this move led to the other investor withdrawing his offer ?

Hopefully some positive news soon

[Shrimpy]

Or, as I've seen mentioned on here elsewhere. The deal PMG had lined up fell through meaning he was out of options and has put the club up for sale as a last resort.

Anyone else starting to get really worried about the lack of news regarding investors or a buyer?

Back in April, PMG was expecting an announcement "within weeks" and then said he was putting it up for sale to try and get a better deal. All in the name of a budget for Jim in the Summer. Well, surely Jim needs to know his revised budget NOW, otherwise he'll be losing Miller as well as Devitt and won't have the money to bring in like-for-like replacements for those who've gone, let alone better replacements. If the deal ever happens, it may be too late and Jim's targets may have been snapped up by other clubs.

How many times have we heard PMG suggest "deals within weeks", then more recently, it's been mid-may, then end-may, now mid-june. Is anything actually happening or is it wishful thinking?

I'm starting to think that they were empty promises just to get people to renew their season tickets so the club can pay the wages/overheads over the Summer.

After all, a board member supposedly denied that the 14/15 season made a £900k loss which then turned out to be remarkably close to the truth!

I really hope I'm wrong.

[Gone_Shrimping]

Is there any date yet for the AGM or EGM ?

The amount of broken promises / misleading info we've had to swallow from the board of directors since the ground move is staggering.

You've mentioned a few above and you can add the development behind the back of the home end, the whole Chinese / Shanghai Clever thing. The "we'll be breaking even in 3 years" promise which ended with us posting a £800k loss and I'm sure many more that I've forgotten about.

[black morse]

Talk of Jim getting like for like replacements for Devitt (and Miller if/when he goes) is a case of 'in your dreams'. It's beginning to look as if a sale is not going to happen

The thing I can't understand is that if the playing budget is really being slashed from a low budget to start with how have we ended up with Windess? He was offered terms by Accy so we must have capped that.
