On Stockton - we can't offer him enough money to make him want to turn down a Championship club for financial reasons. He may see it as a gesture from us and appreciate that, but it will not be more (I doubt even that close to) than what Championship clubs can offer. Stockton seems quite happy currently and grounded by his previous experiences - hopefully that will guide him in seeing out a successful season with us. I think it's a fair assumption that with more time to weigh up his options over summer, he's more likely to land a transfer that's more right for him.

Jordan Slew left the Shrimps at the end of last season, and now plays for FC Halifax Town in the National League. His last Morecambe game was in March 2021. A lot has happened since then.
The 'Cole of the Season' competition is going to be some viewing this year..... his value to the team continues to increase. Surely somebody will enquire about his services in January if they are not doing so already - and if we get bids in excess of £1.5m+ (a number that I keep increasing!) for the divisions top scorer (joint with Michael Smith from Rotherham = 12) can we afford to listen to them at this time? We stand a much better chance of surviving in League One with him at the club than we do without him IMO - how much is that worth to the club? He is a very important player for us. Nice problem to have where we hold all the cards, assuming there are no buy-out clauses in his contract, and with Cole seemingly very happy to be continuing his development here for the time being.
Also worth noting that Cole has at least another season on his current contract, but the way the club have diligently been putting deals together recently - we might have further options to extend this(?). Purely speculation on my part, but when you look at Wildig and Toums extensions last season - we enacted these with no real knowledge by the general fan base that such clauses even existed. It wasn't always this way, both in terms of having these options and also the retention of club information - long may that continue.
