But ?..and I say this in all sincerity Diane !..somewhere in your mind's eye can you not see Kevin making a contribution to the search for the missing ingredients in t'Stanley's current non-striking strike force ?.
Just ignoring his apparent dislike of standing water on the playing area, if you were buying some January dead-legs or maybe a wide-eyed and fresh-faced ex-academy babe, would you not think "Hey !...Kevin Ellison just might be the one ! ".

Trusting you are well .

Funnily enough Alan, Mr Ellison would definitely not be the first player to spring to mind in the quest for fresh legs . . . . . . . . wouldn't even be the last tbh :rolleyes:
I'm well thank you - currently in transit on way to the great metropolis otherwise known as Crewe, letting the train take the strain:)
 
On twitter just now !.


Club Statement regarding PMG Leisure Ltd
The Morecambe Football Club Board of Directors wish it to be noted that PMG Leisure Ltd is owned by Diego Lemos and entered administration under his ownership and not, as reported in certain sectors of the press, by Peter McGuigan.

Despite numerous assurances from the businesses owner, Diego Lemos, that funds were available to pay its creditors. Once again such funds did not materialise. We are told that the businesses main creditor tried to contact Diego Lemos on numerous occasions without success. The first we knew of the problem was when the administrators were appointed and arrived on site the next day.

Discussions with the administrators have been very positive with the Community Staff and Development Centre able to continue to operate without any break in services or delivery. The pitches are available for the Clubs scholars to use and the control room is available for Matchday.

We would like to thank all of those fans who have called the Club today expressing their concern at this turn of events. The Club will be working with the PMG Leisure Staff and the administrators to manage the transition but the message is that it is definitely BUSINESS AS USUAL and we look forward to welcoming both the Development Centre players on Friday and all ‘shrimps’ fans to the Club this coming Saturday as we entertain Notts County in yet another huge game for Morecambe Football Club.

All other areas of the Morecambe Football Club Ltd business remains unaffected. The Players, Staff & Board would also like to thank the fans who have taken the time to write to the Club directly since the news of the troubles broke just before Xmas. It has been very positive to read all of the good wishes.

Watch this space?.
 
no, it is the building with the scoreboard on it, and the plastic pitches to the side of the ground that's in admin
 
That's right Lemur, as far as I can gather but the main worry now according to someone on their forum is that Morecambe Fc have a loan from Barclays which is secured against PMG Leisure - whatever's going on it's an absolute mess & will take some sorting out, best of luck to them
 
Yeah the 3G pitches and also the security control room they use on matchdays that is owned by PMG Leisure...Which I believe is Peter McGuigans company, He's Morecambes ex chairman who sold his Morecambe FC shares to Lemos!

Very very complicated to try and work out, after trying to read Morecambes message board!

But the Morecambe statement says that PMG Leisure is the company of Diego Lemos, not Peter McGuigan.

Not including their loan players they only have 16 first team players so they can't afford to Keep any but they also can't afford to lose any

heard morecambe manager saying cole stockton going back to tranmere and was on about bringing new faces to the club so obviously there,s no transfer embargo but is he just saying what people want to hear.

They're allowed loan deals I think but only if they don't promote any youth players
 
This is where the FA should step in with the club and administrators. It would be an absolute tragedy if Morecambe go out of business. The FA have failed in their duty to the fans of the club by not being far more thorough on researching the new owners, This should be compulsory for all clubs owners or majority shareholders.

fit and proper person etc. they,ve got in in place but seem only to use it against british people. a couple of years ago a guy who was the previous chairman at doncaster along with louis tomlinson out of some famous boy band wanted to take the club over as they were deemed not fit and proper people.

I seem to remember it was more a case of being unable to raise the readies, I don't remember them being deemed unfit to buy

sounds like were back to morecambe owners. do think you,re right however about the doncaster situation but it does seem funny to me that a lot of clubs owned by foreign investors just bring hassle to their fans and nothing more.

We seem to be on the same plain, Lemos must have convinced the FA that funds were available for them to give the sale the go-a –head to buy the club but it now appears Lemos is only interested in the leisure & hotel facilities that was part of the sale
