Personally, I agree with that. I think the entire club on and off the pitch has become stale. New eyes are needed for all areas. Of course, that doesn't mean the existing board, dept managers and staff need to have their noses pushed out of joint. Any decent new owners should want to build on what we have, what works, etc., and bring in new ideas to improve what we have and knowing some of the people at The Globe, I'm sure they'd be amenable to sensible suggestions as long as they're backed up by either resources or other support to make it happen. At the end of the day, a new pair of eyes can work wonders - with the best will in the World, it's very easy for people to become blinkered.
Your points re Cala are interesting - what he said, I thought was about right, i.e. making more of the facilities, the state of the pitch etc - obviously, the way he was going about it was completely wrong, i.e. handing out redundancy notices!
With Jim's move to Flyde, I was looking at their website and was pretty impressed with their website and the facilities they offer. I've always thought our website was pretty poor, hard to navigate, not really a "showcase" for the facilities etc. Last night, I enjoyed listening to their live audio (free) link from their excellent Twitter account. Morecambe could do so much more, very cheaply with social media etc rather than treating it as the enemy - that's the kind of new ideas we need.
