New signings?

New signings?

Postby redrobo » Sat Jun 15, 2024 1:10 pm

Hopefully in the very near future we will get news of new signings as well as additions to DA's back room staff.

It's still a number of weeks away to pre season but otehr clubs are already assembling squads for the new season.

IF our budget is less than last season then there could be problems in the recruitment process.

IF and WHEN any new owner takes over a reassessment of the budget should be the first priority.

Any news on JJ returning or is he on his way elsewhere... :?: :?: :?:

How big of a chunk will Edwards be taking out of the budget? He is a player that agreed terms pre Derek and before any budget was agreed for the upcoming season. I can't imagine that he is cheap and wonder if he is a Derek type foitballer. Will he fill the Carlos role on the wing, chipping in with vital goals or will he be able to put in the work rate required by Derekball?

Love and Bedeau were still on L1 wages so that should help

Surprised that to date only Bedeau has secured a new contract with a new club.... :o

Is it because very few of our former players are not that attractive to new clubs OR are they waiting to see who took over at the Mazuma and now that the King is back will be seriously considering signing a new MFC Contract.... :?: :?: :?:

Hopefully both full backs will sign a new contract and that Slew and JJ will also be in red once again.

Of the others I'm not that fussed if they sign or not..... :!: :!: :!:

Might be hoping to sell him at some stage, dependant on how he does? That's up to DA but you must have seen enough of him last year to form an opinion. If he's the top earner we will see but for myself he's playing at least a league below himself, so that's good for us.

Love was a top player and got injured!! Let's hope that doesn't happen.

Any of the above would be more than welcome but I fear our reduced budget means that such players are out of reach..... :( :( :(

I remember when a Thomas Brolin starred for Sweden in one tournament and he was quickly snapped up by Leeds Utd and he was absolutely pants after signing
One tournament doesn’t a player make

I think Brolin had put on about 6stone and well past his best when Leeds signed him

Pre Season training starts 2 weeks today so I would think that the King will have made some progress on signings or at least setting up some signings.

We have made an offer to JJ so presumably it was increased terms meaning we receive some compensation if he moves on.

DA will have to find around 20 new players before the start of the season...preseason preferably.

No doubt amongst those will be a number of loanees including possibly the lads from Bolton and Wigan who our previous manager (who jumped ship because he couldn't cope with the pressure) had already spoken to their respective clubs about taking them back for at least the first part of the season.

I'm sure fans would welcome an update on the player situation.

If you are referring to former player and manager Ged Brannan, I think not being paid on time and a lack of clarity regarding the forthcoming seasons budget might have forced his hand (only confirmed towards the end of May, a month after Geds departure) - rather than the conclusion you have drawn, which seems harsh. Given the absolute shambolic running of the club over the last two seasons in which we have ended the season being unable to offer out of contract players a new deal, can you really blame him?

The team under GB played much of the time with a defence that resembled the Keystone Cops. Some of the games we won under him were of a freaky nature like the 3-2 wins at Crewe and Tranmere.

If that is a criticism of the BoDs.....then I'm sorry but I have to disagree. They have run our club to the best of their abilities despite the actions (or lack of actions) of the owner. Any issues about the control of our club rest firmly at the feet of the current owner who still seems unable to negotiate a sale that it is claimed :?: he is eager to complete.

Our BoDs have remained loyal to our club when many in a similar situation would have walked away.

Any criticism of our excellent BoDs is totally uncalled for and is directed in the wrong direction.

Regardless of the difficulties that the board have faced, trying to run the club with one hand tied behind their back, you surely have to admit that the last couple of seasons have been "shambolic"? The VAT issue, leading to an embargo (sorted yet?) is unlikely to be Ged Brannon's fault, and definitely gets filed under "shambolic". Players and staff paid late is "shambolic".

You're happy to jump on Brannon for leaving, yet most of us, faced with a similar situation, with the opportunity of a stable job, that pays on time, or a job where the employer's company could cease to exist, would put paying the mortgage and feeding the family first.

I have no doubt that without the dedication of the board, and the fact that they are led by true Morecambe FC fans, is the only thing that has kept us afloat, but let's not kick the ex-manager for doing what was best for him and his family, or hide from the fact that we were, and still are, "shambolic", and will be until Whittingham is gone from Morecambe FC.

ALL the issues of late concerning our club can be blamed only on one person......the current owner.

Very few BoDs would have continued under the conditions that they have had to operate under and it is credit to them that they remain loyal to our club and for that we should ALL be thankful.....not criticize as some are only too quick to do so.

And as for the players and staff getting paid late.....the contracted date for payment fell on a weekend. They got paid on the Monday which as far as I'm concerned was NOT late....

Quite how you infer criticism of the BoDs from RRW's post I don't know; he's obviously referring to the ownership issues, whence all budgetary issues have arisen. It's like putting 2 and 2 together and getting 22 :o :lol:

Who runs our club....the BoDs or the owner..... :?: :?: :?:

The owner has no involvement in the day to day running of our club.

RRW implied that it was the running of the club that was shambolic.....

I suspect that we will continue to disagree on this issue. :(

So the VAT/embargo situation was whose responsibility? Would you consider that to be "shambolic"?
Is it resolved yet, or are we still owing HMRC money?
Do we remain under an embargo?
Whose responsibility was the late payment of wages? Was that "shambolic"?

You appear to have blamed Brannon for leaving and don't think there are any concerns regarding the running of the club? I don't think the late salary, VAT or embargo are Brannon's fault.

A day late is late! How can it be anything else?

Were they paid early? NO!
Were they paid on time? NO!
Were they paid late? YES!
