Nothing fishy about this whatsoever, just a competition organiser with impeccable integrity making a statement that is in no way linked to any form of financial incentive or pressure from those with a vested interest in preventing the regulator from being introduced.

This has been something we’ve been keen to have for years, and it’s taken a fair bit of effort to get them. If the cause is one you believe in and you’re a Shrimps fan then please get them for friends and family, as we’d like to be able to stock them every year! #UTS

This is really good news. Rob was the standout candidate from a hugely competitive process, and he brings fresh and energetic eyes to everything we do off the field. Welcome to the Shrimps Family Rob! #UTS

A very Merry Christmas to every Shrimps fan, every wonderful member of staff and player at the Club, and everyone out there in football rooting for us, be it loudly or quietly. 2024 has been challenging at times, but we don’t give up in Morecambe, ever. #UTS

If you support Morecambe FC and want the best for it, join the Trust. It’s a force for good led by thoroughly decent people. #UTS

We can’t remove every frustration (many of which we share), but we can at least communicate as openly and transparently as possible and try to share a greater understanding of what’s going on with all. Merry Christmas everyone. #UTS

To every Tory peer currently attempting to sabotage the Football Governance Bill: Shame on you for disregarding the sustainability of the clubs that form the foundations of our great pyramid. We need a regulator with teeth, not self-interested friends of the rich and powerful.

Huge thanks Fair Game and Graham Miller for shining a light on MFC, and to Lizzi Collinge MP and Dave Salmon for the unwavering support. Regulation to fix what is fundamentally broken will come too late to help us overcome our challenges, but it must happen to save the beautiful game.

I share all the frustration, and understand just how much MFC means to every single one of us, but let’s not turn on each other, trade abuse, or disrespect one another’s opinions. If we do that then we really are lost, and any damage done will take longer to repair. #UTS

So, we have an ever-expanding Champions League that’s already only made up of c20% actual champions. I’ve got an idea: make the Champions League for champions, have a Cup Winners Cup, and then have a decent 3rd European competition for all the runners up. Dead simple really!
