I see that Morecambe have released the Irishman from his contract after 10 years. With McIllroy leaving the club today too, who will take up this post with the Shrimps?
Anyone having a punt on Coleman?

I knew harvey was out... I had followed that one from when he first became ill.. I wasnt aware Mcillroy was out.. seems a bit silly losing him..
Not as silly as suggesting coley for the job though.... bit of stirring there TM ?
Yes he has a background there but I wouldnt have thought it was that strong and the accy background is now stronger IMHO

I'm not saying McIllroy won't return, but he officially said goodbye to people at the club today.
As to the Coleman connection... why not? Now, where's me spoon?

Ahhhhhhhhhh... I can't help but claim some role in this major development.
Maybe I should become an agent if, within minutes of my 'speculations', the club offer the management pair a new deal?
Where's my 10%??
Good stuff, long may they be at the helm.
Im putting the "Morcambe Vacancy" and "Stimson Free Agent" together here .............
That's harsh, considering the job he was doing before he fell ill
..actually Diesal you are so far off the mark with that one.
Our Board has at least personal collective fortunes of £20million.
Still, all the money in the world can't bring promotion....as we and others have found out.
I seem to recall Eric saying that Coley had 3 years in which to achieve promotion to the league otherwise he'd be out. Sounds to me as though to be successful you have to have a bloody mean streak. Maybe my lot have not been that in the past.

One thing I do recall is my statement a few months ago that Morecambe had stagnated under Harvey and they'd never do anything with him in charge. I also recall being criticised for my view by Morecambe fans who listed the things they'd won under Harvey (a couple of tinpot cups, etc), but it seems that the Morecambe board have finally come round to my way of thinking.
I sympathise with Harvey and totally agree that the timing of the move is not the best, but football is increasingly a cut-throat world and sometimes tough decisions have to be made.

Whats with all the manager sacking's all of a sudden, Westly going from Stevenage (no big surprise, really, they shopuld be in play off's every time)
Harvey leaving Morcambe, which is a bit harsh, as i have already said
And Stimson leaving because he didnt achieve promotion 1st time, thats a really poor reason, surely he wasnt expecting to walk the Conf at the first time of asking ... ?

I also hear Bury are on the verge of signing Thompson according to Shrimps board, i rate the guy, pace pace and more pace along with a few tricks and scores his fair share of goals..Anyone else like to see him at the fraser eagle stadium next season playing for us?
