Throw in a hot headed manager who could explode and leave anytime then you are living on the edge following STFC.

You never know with Morphoney. He’s essentially an absent owner, Gary Gormless supposedly in charge day to day.
We only ever see the turds when they spill over the porcelain.
There’s got to something either putting any new owner off or something Morphoney et al dare not let see the light of day.
Just enjoy the football while we can.
Audrey, the pessimist in me keeps thinking this could be our last season wth all the rumours circulating. I hope I'm wrong

I think 'last season' is a bit dramatic, but I guess Morecambe wouldn't have thought so this tight last year either.
Unpaid bill rumours aren't great, but as far as we know wages are being paid and we are current in HMRC payments.

Don’t know whether it’s an age thing, but the whole ownership saga is just grinding me down. I can’t see a good, healthy end-game happening from our current predicament. I’m not sure I’d care that much if we collapsed into oblivion - and I’ve had a season ticket every year since 1983. I’d probably just watch Chippenham until the inevitable Phoenix club rises & I’ll start supporting them in the Southern Premier or wherever we start. There, I feel more positive now.

I think the biggest issue if there was a chance of a sale,would probably be this lot would not want any potential new owner to see the books and do due diligence imo.
I’m not sure any serious businessman or consortium would ever buy the club blind.
So the club potentially when the times right for Morfuni gets passed to another dodgy chancer or potentially another Morecambe situation.

Exactly. Let’s not kid ourselves that the sun-drenched uplands are just over the horizon. Morfuni will probably just sell to the next member of the ‘shadow cabinet’ and so it will continue for god knows how long. Liquidation would be a mercy killing

Fuck me, end of June this was made clear to the club.
I imagine the “and” crew will be like “it’ll be sorted by Saturday. Why’s this news”.

It sounds like they got away with it last season as things didn’t just deteriorate during the summer break.

Why are the club putting out 'statements' via Morshead?

Making a statement to the local press seems fairly normal, no? You'd think you'd also put it on the club's website, but it's still featuring news about a vodka sponsor in March prominently so perhaps they've lost the log in details.

All that excitement just seven days ago, has been evaporated and now we don’t even know if we can attend Saturday. It is so draining

Seen the first, it’s a “nothing story” tweet. Unbelievable, it really is .
