If nothing else its head honcho is (or at the very least was) a close business associate of the previous 'buyer' who didn't seem to have a pot to piss in in reality...

As I said, Mr Frying Pan may I introduce you to Mr Fire....

Still not sold up, admin being appointed in the morning if he doesnt sell overnight

He doesnt want to own it so just sell the bloody thing!

Considering this isn't the first sporting club he has brought down I'm surprised someone hasn't had  a quiet word (or at least a paint on a drive) as yet....

I really feel for the Morecambe fans - it is just odd the owner does not want them and their was a deal on the table just needed final sign off and who paid money upfront (more fool them)  - you suspect the owner now wont sell, will stop the fan directors putting the club into Admin, and then will just leave the club bobbling along, then the ones who wanted to take them over will issue court proceedings for their money - this ends one way sadly probably with a phoenix club being created

Reading some of the stuff knocking about from fans up here on SM, the likely outcomes are either a) some of the creditors (which include unpaid players etc - coincidentally including the SM person who is having to put these various statements out) get together (possibly with HMRC) and get the club into court sharpish with a winding up order or b) the league will just boot them out entirely as they haven't paid the players etc.

I'd be surprised despite what has been said if the prospective new owners have put much in as they don't appear to have much themselves.

This one baffles me. Doesn’t Tyson Fury have a gym in the stadium? Amazed he can’t prop them up or put together a consortium.

It all seems to be a bit of a grey area, he does apparently have a foundation (albeit from google it seems to have a very limited public footprint) which has some space in a building on the ground site (although its not clear whether this is open to the public from what I can see), and did have minor sponsorship a few years back. Like so much with him, what he says (and the media report getting him publicity) and what he does seems to vastly differ, plus he is from Morecambe when he is talking up Morecambe, and then from Manchester when he is there etc etc. Locals seem very split on him TBH.

He's always implied he has no interest in buying the club, and who would blame him, albeit with his habit of saying one thing and doing another the next day there is no reason to doubt he may end up taking over tomorrow!
