Mr McIlroy maybe but that doesn't scan well. To call Samuel Baxter McIlroy "Sammy" displays some kind of idea that I personally know the chap I'm talking about. I don't, so I won't.
Well if we go of your interpretation of what a legacy is " legacy being the stuff a new man or someone else can pick up and run with " then that surely applies to being in the football league, that's what you call a legacy.
As to us having a budget of a league one club well that's just speculation.
No, football league status can be taken away from Morecambe in a season (as we may well see).
I don't think you are getting my point. Mr Samuel Baxter McIlroy has done an excellent job getting our club where it was until the end of last season, but at this venture given the club that we are, we need a different type of manager that someone who is a coach and motivator. We need someone who wants to take full ownership of the club and install the following.
-A strong link with local sides lower down the pyramid
-A youth system bringing in first team regulars sold on for a profit
-Links with local Premier League and Championship clubs, affording us first pick of their players that don't make the grade
-A scouting system using lots of volunteers watching youth team/res games/non league games almost daily to try and unearth the best local talent
All that's in place yes? Samuel Baxter McIlroy has not done this, in fact if anything we've gone backwards from the Harvey era on all of the above. He has gone stale, and with every passing 3 nil drubbing is another bit of good faith prestige and history getting rubbed away. SBM deserves more than that, Morecambe deserve more than that. It is the time to part company on good terms rather than sour ones with no send off.
