[Christies Child]

Give these guys a chance. Come across as being genuine. Don't appear to be glory hunters

[bill ding]

The interview says there are doubters on here..... Really, cant be lieve it

[black morse]

Sounds a genuine guy to me. I think a win or a draw tomorrow will be the start of new chapter for The Shrimps. Certainly hope so and I'll be delighted if, by this time next year, we are all thanking these guys for helping us turn into a 2nd division club that, at the very least, is not threatened by relegation every year.

I agree with CC we must give them a chance and a bit of time.

[Bare Grills]

We gave Diego a chance.
We gave Abdul a chance, with all the fluff about 2 years support.
We gave Burnard a chance.

All promised 2 year's stability and there's been 3 changes of majority shareholder in less than 2 years.

And they wonder why we doubt everything.

[BerlinWaller]

Diego was the con man. Abdul never wanted it and Burnard was just the hired help. Cala and his goons are whining all over twitter about the club so it could be a lot worse. These lads are saying all the right things so far.

We all know what they were, I'm just stating what was claimed at the time of each handover which is being repeated this week so excuse me for being somewhat cynical about anything.

We are all cynical but I am not sure what else they can do to prove to us that they are the real deal. They have chucked money in and made an effort to communicate with the fans. Another plus for me is that unlike Diego, Abdul and the horrible Cala, they haven't pinched a club tie!

+1 common sense prevail seem genuine to me

[seasonsinthesun]

They should be given credit for showing their faces.
At least they are not the " mystery men" in the shadows, wheeling and dealing secretly.
We are all understandably cynical, but for now they should be given the benefit of the doubt, till proven
otherwise.
Let's hope they are genuine, and follow through on their promises.

Respect is a 2 way street. After the initial shock and poor communication, the new guys seem to be starting to do the right thing. If they carry on like this and their words turn into reality, and we have some channels for meaningful communication, they'll earn the respect and goodwill of the fans pretty quickly and we'll all reap the rewards.

[Zippy]

Wishing the new investors well, and hope that The presence on the board bears fruit for the club.
Having plunged the club into a period of huge uncertainty, personal view is that there should be significant change in the board composition - selling out to lemos et-al is a result of poor assessment and management of risk - time for a refresh in my veiw .

[P/T Indie]

Like the way he says about bringing in people to help with ideas off the pitch and there will even be some changes from next week!

Also they want to do a lot around communication and communicating with the fans and community etc.

He was saying the right things so far my concern is that £1 million is a lot of money just for a two year investment.

[marky No.1]

Nice to hear positivity, fully with what Jason says to be honest. You are obviously making note of social media etc.,Jason, you can be assured that Morecambe fans will be behind you if you get it right.

[fulwoodshrimp]

I agree with Zippy there needs to be change at board level. In my opinion the chairman that led us into the chaos of Diego and all that followed shouldn't be part of the rebuild of the club.
