It will indeed be interesting - this guy is no mug, I have a friend who used to work with him and rates him highly. First he has to build a team - and then he has to get them to play for him. It's not going to be easy. But although this may appear as left-field he is no random pick.
I do think that NL has screwed this up though - it does appear to give a very unfair advantage to those teams playing them early in the season. Having said that, I'd rather see Morecambe survive and there be a little imbalance in the league than to see Morecambe fold.
They could well issue a points deduction yet. Let's see what happens next. They need to show some consistency with how they treated Southend
The BBC seems to suggest that more games will be postponed as they only have 5 registered players and can't even train as yet. Not sure the National League will be too happy about that - although better that than Morecambe going under and we all lose two games.
Don't think Morcambe are out of the woods yet. Some monies have been paid, last month's wages possibly. Panjab Warriors need a bit more time to pay all outstanding debts including HMRC. According to "the price of football" this morning they remain under a transfer embargo so I am presuming the two signings they made must have been free agents. They will be able to play Altrincham on Saturday but I suspect it will be a long hard season. Even if you end up in National North next season you would take that over extinction.
Fair play to Morecambe. Alty looked good at Spotland but their last couple of results since have been disappointing. I’m sure the crowd helped Morecambe as well, the emotions must have been running high.
