I'd say signing Rene Howe this week is pretty good news.

Last season we got by as 'the new kids on the block'. We are now part of the pack and need to adapt our playing style accordingly.
Last nights starting 11 included only ONE of the squad that Sammy inherited from JH. That shows to me that Sammy has finally created his own squad made up of players he wants around him.
The managment team will live or die by results.
They have to decide if players who have served us well would be better for their own careers to move on. Certain actions will not please, that's the nature of football management. I hate to see the likes of Mr T and no doubt others leave, but it's happened before and it sure will happen again.
Don't be suprised if other favourites move on or are loaned out for the season.

The manager is doing his job, mate.
He is bringing in players that he thinks are more capable of performing well at this level week in, week out.
Twissy has been one of my favourite players from the last ten years at Christie Park and I still harboured a hope that he could show us again what he is really capable of. I would still play him - but I'd play him up front as our main striker. I can't honestly say, though, that I'd prefer him up there to Howe or O'Carroll this season (or whoever else Sammy may have in mind).
I also like Yatesy but, as others have said, we have McStay who can play right back and Parrish, to me, looked excellent last night. McCann is also in that mix so we're not struggling at that position.
Sammy has warned us that he may need to offload a few - and that some of those may be fans' favourites who have served us well in the past. But he stresses we are moving into a different era now.
If he gets an interest from another club for any of our players he will sit down with them and say something like 'look, this club has made an approach. As far as I'm concerned next season you'll be a squad player who may get a run out off the bench, you may get in the first team if we have injuries or suspensions. Now do you want to stay here on that basis or are you interested in a move?'.
I think Twissy probably fits into that category. Sam may get approached about others and his talk with them will be different, like "I see you as regular first choice in that position next season whereas this new club that wants you already has good players in your position and you may not be a regular starter".
We may have our own individual reservations about players being brought in and others released - but I do think that from what I've seen the overall effect looks like it might just be a 'net' strengthening and a team likely to give us more consistency.
The truth of that is, of course, still to be seen.

At last some common sense!
Football is about football and is now a business first + foremost. We did excellent in our first ever season in the football league but looking back at performances it was obvious that some of our favourites would be moving on as we were getting too predictable. Twissy, Baker, Thommo are all Morecambe legends but clubs do need change and 10 out of 10 to Sammy for not holding any of them back. £50K for Twissy with 12mths left on his contract seems about right to me and we certainly won't get more than that.
Good luck to you all and thankyou for wearing a Morecambe shirt
