Morecambe FC Update

[Habbinalan]

I'm particularly impressed with the abilities of Jim Bentley (and Gary Bowyer at Blackburn and Blackpool) to field and motivate well organised and effective teams with all the ownership shenanigans going on in the background.

Apologies for the Sun link. New (Italian-American) owner, wages not paid on time again.

Poor bastards. Still plenty of time for them to join us in the relegation zone.

Has he bought you?

In an erratic period of basket case owners, and potential owners during administrations, Cala was up there amongst the 'best'.

Known down here as the fuckwit who was proposing to build an underwater casino in the harbour, as well as buying the football club.

Like all the others, he had no money.

I don't think they signed a single player this month, feel for them. In just as bad a position as ourselves.

The saga continues. Italian-American "owner" told to sling his hook.

In an email sent to Bay News after the court hearing, Mr Lemos said: "I am delighted the Court has made an Order preventing the sale of G50 Holdings Ltd’s shares in Morecambe Football Club without first engaging with myself. As I have stated all along I am the owner of G50 and the Club.

"I am the rightful owner of the shares and I will be returning to the UK to resolve matters. I am very pleased to have been advised by my legal team that Mr. Burnard stated in open Court there was no agreement with Mr. Cala [sic] in respect of the sale of G50's shares and that Mr. Burnard has been notified by the Football League that The Football League would not grant their approval for Mr Cala to become the new owner of the Club in any event."

They even managed to troll poor old MorecAmbe in the court order -

This has the potential to rival the CS Șoimii Pâncota Thread.........and today's owner is

Actually, not a laughing matter if you are a Morecambe FC fan or employee........or, I would suggest, any true football fan.

Someone needs to take Mr Cala for a walk across the Bay and leave him for the fishes.

Christ i wouldn't wish this crap on any team, after all a shark could potentially ruin any of the clubs we support. Any potential takeovers should be liable for an enforced look at what they are offering and must show they have the money not hope to have it in place.

 

[The Terminator]

It makes our owners look competent in comparison.

Feel for them, its worse when the players wages aren't paid..............

 

[George Reilly's Hairpiece]

Once again this just shows that the fit and proper test only highlights that the Football League aren't fit and proper to vet potential new owners.
