RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted October 24, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 24, 2017 As I suspected, Phil Neville has put his name forward for the vacancy at Goodison. After his time at Valencia, sorry, but I am not convinced! Ryan Giggs also being mentioned. No, we need someone with good solid Prem League experience at this stage.

RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted October 28, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 28, 2017 OK, I'm not an England supporter. But you have to be impressed by the performance of the U-17s in their World Cup final. Took Spain apart! The fifth goal especially, was as good as anything we will see in the Prem this year. Just hope that the Prem clubs will know how to bring these players forward. Too many good young players have disappeared in the pro game. These guys could represent an amazing future for English football. 2022 may be a bit soon for them but they really could be a force in 2026 if the clubs don't mess it up. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohmisterporter Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 The future is looking bleak for Morecambe this season. They usually start the season with a few wins and those points stand them in good stead at the end of the season; not so this year. They have had a very poor start and without a drastic turn around they already look doomed. There are things going on behind the scenes that are not helping, I hope the players are getting paid regularly now, not a lot, but getting paid.

An excellent display by both the U17's and U20's winning their respective world cups. Time to shift the disinterested deadweights, team and manager, from the Russia 2018 squad and replace with some of these lads who look like they enjoy the game and never give up on a lost cause. Lets face it, we won't win the world cup, so what harm can it do? Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However good these lads are, putting them in against experienced pros with much greater physique could be very damaging.

It would of course assume a degree of protection from referees against the tricks the older pro's get up to, so no chance really. Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

devonseasider Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I hope it doesn't have too detrimental an affect on your club. Shouldn't have any negative effect. Judgement states specifically that money is not to come out of BFC coffers (not that a great deal remains therein!). Judgement is against Karl & Owen Oyston personally and also Segasta - a "holding company" they set up to make it easier for them to re-direct money from "the football side of the business". Looks as though all of the unsecured, interest-free loans made by Segasta to other Oyston-related companies may have to be recalled. That should be fun . . . . Apparently tight controls imposed on payment terms with some/many/all Oyston assets being frozen to prevent them disappearing from the face of the earth. Seems that the judge is very aware of the Oystons' previous behaviour and their skills in the field of avoidance! With luck this could effectively see them forced out of the club, and not before time. May also be that they no longer meet the "fitness for ownership" test (or whatever it's called) although whether the FA/FL will see any need to act is another question altogether. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know the terms yet, whether just until end of season and then review. Hope I'm proved wrong and we stay up, but it's not a suitable long term answer.

But then nor was Big Sam. These days the owners are just worried about the money not the club's traditions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
