Unless there were other, more personal reasons for not doing so previously? They may have included the mess referred to by the current owners regarding sorting things out such as who actually owned shares in the first place? Anyone with some inside knowledge at that time may have decided it wasn't a safe investment, in that they may have paid the wrong person? Now, it may be safer to return? I'd certainly be delighted if a local consortium of business men (or women) came along who have the club in their heart.
I also think that the town of Morecambe is on the up generally, which can only make owning the club more attractive as time goes on.
