It's a sideways step initially, that can't be denied. But as I said earlier if he's being offered more money and if he sees us as having more immediate potential for progress then he may take it as moving sideways now to have a better chance of moving upwards in a year or two, he's still only youngish.
And your statement about us not having the money shows you know absolutely nothing about our off-field set-up and our board. Our chairman and at least one of our directors have been involved in very major company takeovers within the last year, the chairman having sold personal shares in Umbro that were worth many, many millions of pounds - and they are all genuine Morecambe fans first and foremost.
We're very careful with it and will only do a deal if it's a sensible one - but it IS there.
