Not on Faceache but have heard what's being said...let's hope it's just that... rumours. Regardless it's yet a other sad day in a long line of sad days...

It would be nice just to hear something positive about our club...

For those not on FB, hope it's not right:

Some rumours about the club surfacing tonight.

No staff have been paid, and potentially, the players refusing to play tomorrow.

Hopefully, this isn't true, but with no pre-game interview being published, it makes sense that something is going on!

Anyone from the payroll on this forum or anyone know anyone on the pay roll, give them a call.
Please post A.S.A.P. All very disconcerting so we wait for confirmation.

Surely the 125% would have been deposited at the beginning of the month! But not hearing this wasn’t done, that isn’t surprising with the usual silence from the Club.

If these rumours are true, we hope there not. The hole we are in is heading to towards being a black hole.

Still know Ged interview on web site!!!

Radio Lancashire Sport said the club haven't made him available for interview today, so it doesn't look like you'll see anything on the website. Concerning and annoying.

If we are playing tomorrow will he be in the dug out?

Sounds like Baz is off as well, could be the academy lads playing tomorrow

Worrying thing is theres nothing on mfc web site to quell the rumour

NOT A RUMOUR ANYMORE!

Players not being paid is hardly surprising tbh
Look at the last few weeks/months at the club, the silence is deafening and as per my previous post, we as fans should never have been persuaded to change the march to that of support instead of protest.
Many people have sat back and watched our club deteriorate and anyone who spoke up for what they believed in and any way critical were shot down by those thinking they know best.
Maybe the players will be paid Monday, I'm sceptical as anyone being honest, knows that the vibe from the club has been shocking the last few weeks. BOD missing or jumping ship and some may say have a part in our demise.
its best the club goes in to administration, our only hope is that we don't follow Bury and Macclesfield.
Players who refuse to play tomorrow wont do themselves any favours when looking for new clubs neither, those will say who blames them, but lest be honest their a team, a close team weve been told for months so team mates don't down tools

Statement on Club website now.

Ensuring Players will play the final game of the season!!

Or Is that £199 down the drain?

At least they've managed to form new clubs. I'll take that! The worst case scenario would be if we don't have a club at all to support and socialise at.

Well said ispyshrimp! Too many 'do gooders' who are close to board members and unwilling to rock the boat,we should have gone on the pitch last week!Administration is the only way out now.

What a sad state we're in.
For me the Board should stand down. If no one is running the club for Jason he will be forced in to doing something.

Sadly a phoenix club starting afresh might be the only realistic choice.

Thanks, iIm sorry but its right, far too many people have defended the club and BOD, it was a massive mistake not protesting against Wrexham with their media following, Massive!!!!

This is probably the best time for this mess to happen, the club are safe with nothing to play for this season so we have a number of weeks/ months to get out this mess.

There is interest from various groups in a takeover, including one from Asia I believe, Wrexham may have Disney an Hollywood backing them, but who knows…maybe we’ll be getting ready for pre season in Hong Kong this time next year.

Good to have you back kendalshrimp

Shrimps Trust have just issued a statement...just received an email...

Let's be honest about this situation, we've lived over our means for a number of seasons purely to stay in the EFL. Why?

For me a retrun to non league, living within our means and playing in a geographicl area that doesn't requre too many overnight stays.

We wouldn't need as many security staff or top heavy admin office staff and it's not that important to me anyhow if we return to part time and start off in the Northern Premier League assuming that they woulod have us.

Gates would fall way BUT just supposing we took a new league by storm and started to win almost every game, gates would increase to an average of 1750 of that I'm sure.

So for me a return to non league, get rid of Jason and start to live with in our means.

Doubt many will agree with any of the above but for me as long as we have a Morecambe FC then that is good enough for me.

We were living beyond our means in the conference PMG was writing off losses of 300k a year. Really we were no different in size to Northwich, Bromsgrove and the likes and looks where they ended up.

I also wouldn't be bothered by a return to non league it's always just been a struggle to survive in the league and that makes the fun go out of it.

I just hope we don't have to do it as a phoenix club because I don't think we have enough about us to create one, we can't even agree if to protest or not and have slept walked into this.

Sorry I cannot understand people who just want to go back to where we came from without a fight!

.....but a fight with who

The only person responsible for all this is the current owner who with loans having a huge interest charged on repayment is not in my view serious in his desire to sell our club. After all he's making money out of our demise.

I don't blame our BoDs they have tried in every way to resolve the selling problem but i suspect that the owner keeps moving the goal posts. OK they have made a mess out of the VAT situation and the statement issued by one of the Co Chairman didn't fill may with a sense of hope.

As for what we can do is for me to continue to support the lads on the field and in particular whoever takes charge in the coming weeks because I for one don't envy their role in putting together a new team irrespective of what league we find ourselves in.

I want to fight but just to survive, we are so laid back and sleep walk into things I don't think we have enough about us to get organised and do anything about it.

Wonder if Jason even reads this forum ..And if so does he even give a toss

What a real sad sad time to be a fan

It looks like Worcester Warriors Groundhog Day.

Can I go back in the morning and ask for my money back?

we moan and pontificate, philosophy, rant and rave, let off steam, have our say, hope against hope all when we are just helpless supporters of a team.

The person who owns the Club, just doesn’t care about what he is doing to Morecambe FC.

We were warned we were warned!
