We were in for A certain Crawley player but he held out or Crawley. That football. We wanted him but didn’t get him. I respect you and your views as I’ve said previously but it’s a bit out of order suggesting JR talks ****. You could have put that differently that’s all

Not true.

We could have signed A certain Crawley player before Crawley was even an option.

Agreed, we need to move on from him, he may have never clicked at us, or he could have been the dog’s bollocks, but we haven’t got him.

Onto the next one.

Indeed. There for every Ollie Pearce there is a Dan Mooney.

You say not true I’ve been told something else. Let’s just move on

 

[bluesfansince1952]

Or could both versions be right ie we were in for him, could have signed him but then heard something that made us hesitate?

Maybe, but the A certain Crawley player affair is now history. Still plenty of fish in the sea though.

I think Austin is a better bet than A certain Crawley player. We wouldn’t have needed both.
Maybe we delayed on A certain Crawley player as there was unexpected progress on Austin.

These things are never clear cut, so please just move on from a target that we never got, I am sure there are many we don’t hear about as well.

 

[RHB]

Robbie Savage has resigned directorship at Macclesfield.

Fully expect him to rock up at FGR next week.

[annie1954]

I think every player someone else has signed it’s been questioned if we were looking to sign them

If true we sure would have a big squad

Or shrimps perhaps....

 

[Barling Magna]

Or shrimps perhaps....

Let's hope Morecambe survive.....

 

[Barling Magna]

it's great to be able to talk about transfers again. This from Morecambe revives memories from earlier summer breaks.....​

​

​

The Board of Directors of Morecambe Football Club wish to make the following statement.​

Bond Group Investments Limited, despite agreeing a sale with Panjab Warriors, giving the Board assurances for more than a year that they intend to sell to Panjab Warriors, and working with Panjab Warriors to enable them to gain EFL clearance for the acquisition to proceed on 6th June 2025, now appear to be considering reneging on the deal and attempting to engage with alternative buyers, on the same day that they have failed to provide the funds required to meet the Club’s June payroll, despite understanding exactly what that requirement is.

They have also, at the last minute, informed the Board of Directors and Panjab Warriors that they are not actually in a position to transfer their shares to a buyer without consent from an unspecified third party.

Bond Group Investments Limited are playing with people’s livelihoods, threatening the very existence of this proud club, and risking serious damage to the community it serves.

They have consistently proved to be deceitful, and the Board of Directors call upon them to, for once, do the right thing and sell the club immediately to Panjab Warriors, the only potential buyer that has passed the EFL’s fit and proper test and proved willing to engage properly with a sale process that has now been ongoing for over two and a half years.

The Board of Directors have, once again, considered resigning, and only remain in post to attempt to protect the interests of the club, staff and everyone associated with it.

Given we already have Parillon it seems to me that we wouldn’t have gone for both A certain Crawley player and Austin given how many midfielders we have.

I don’t know if Austin was first, second or third on the whiteboard or where A certain Crawley player was. However, Austin is proven at this level and L2 level and A certain Crawley player is not. So if we were to get one it would for me be Austin.

 

[Magnum PI]

Think he is trying to dig out LS. But he reported on Slav, so surely it’s 1/2?

Some of us were reporting on Slavi long before we let LS in on it.

I'd rather have had Austin over A certain Crawley player anyway

For all the reasons you said

If the rumour about A certain Crawley player came out alongside talk of Austin, I think alot of fans would have said the same

 

[AlfaShrimper]

On a slight different note? Any news on outgoings? I'd be shocked if there wasn't interest in KAF, Gus or Taylor?

 

[fbm]

Can we have a ban on talking about A certain Crawley player please?

It's irrelevant.

 

[Barling Magna]

Yes, no mention at all of Cash man from me.

Oh, bugger........

 

[Richard Hearn]

So, just to be clear, it's A certain Crawley player that we are no longer supposed to mention, is that correct?

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

Yes it’s A certain Crawley player

 

[Richard Hearn]

Yes it’s A certain Crawley player

A certain Crawley player?
Right, got it.
Clear now.
A certain Crawley player, right.
Never heard of him.
