Obviously don't talk to the people that used to come to watch a game of decent football then dropped off..
Captain, Player.. yes... Manager? Get a grip.
Christie the Cat could have done what he has or hasn't.
It's shit, accept it and accept the fact that is why people don't come any more, not because the town doesn't support their team, it's because when they do turn out... it's shit!
I (and many others) stopped coming when they renewed his contract.
'Oh he's done a great job of keeping us up...' no, there have just been shitter teams than us. Change should have come years ago, but no... now we are paying the price.
Not all down to money, yes, it plays a massive part, but if the tactics and football are shit, it's no wonder the gates dropped.
A breath of fresh air instead of the same old shite?.... yes I will start attending again.

I came on here to pay tribute to the legend that is Jim Bentley, I did it purely because of my own personal feelings towards his standing and what he's achieved over many years of service.
A mark of respect! It's not 'arse licking' for I have nothing to gain, it comes from the heart.
Looks like you and a few others on here have finally got your way, hopefully the next man who comes in, will be able to work to a very rigourous timetable, zero backing from the owners or the so called 'fans' and with the same empty purse,
woe-be-tide he lose a few games or set the team up differently to your opinion, for he too is destined to failure straight from the off and will no doubts receive the same shabby treatment off a select few on here.
The man deserves better and we'll leave it there.

I don't need your permission to say anything and I've no doubts been in Morecambe longer than yourself to make an opinion,
You're correct, that I had more than a little excitement at the prospect of one of the best midfielders in the game becoming manager but as was proved on that cold Tuesday night at Boundary park, he was out thought by a better manager of a smaller club, punching well above its weight, with far less at his disposal.
The reality is, you have a man who is Morecambe through and through, done more than was realistically possible and will be remembered long after you and your bunch of merry men have turned to dust.
Time you started to enjoy your life more, it's shorter than you think!

I'm sick of this argument. Budget is not the be all and end all of where a side should finish in the league.
It's fair to say that up until this season at least, Bentley has done an admirable job but there's no defending him anymore. He simply needs to go before it gets embarrassing.

A true hero and no amount of thanks will ever cover what you've done for this club and town.
I just wanted you to know this...................It's been an honour.

Agreed , Macclesfield won the Conference 2 years ago with no player earning more that £400/£500 per week. Identify the right hungry players and just like Accrington you can have success.

Agreed. If Jim does move on it would be great if funds could be raised by whatever means possible to have a statue on the forecourt of the stadium. Statues are usually done after somebody has passed away but there are exceptions like Jimmy Armfield (before he died) and Dickie Bird in Barnsley. This guy deserves no less after 17 years services as player , captain and manager.

I was going to say this myself but I'd used up my full allocation of arse licking
Wonderful idea and tell me when you want to get this project off the ground.

At the very least a stand should be named after him in thanks for 17 years of outstanding service, but it's time for Jim and ourselves to open a new chapter as much as it hurts all parties. JB deserves our respect and thanks. I often don't agree with his tactics but that's football but everything he has done has been in the best interest of the club that has and will always be his first love...with Everton a close second.
