    And that's the point, isn't it? They have no right to be there because they are spending money they don't have or can sustain.

    Notts have been just as guilty in the past

    Hopefully someone local with a bit of clout will buy them, as I don't see how they would appeal to somebody outside Morecambe unless a footy fanatic.
    It’s what asset strippers do (sorry.. asset management Co.)…. they move other peoples money around, set up new companies, transfer assets, indebt them and hey presto… £25m in “their” bank account.

    Same pattern… over and over again.

    I think he meant to say:

    "order the not right but in necessarily."

    Don't they have a new stadium? Or was new a few years ago

    He'd invest, then he wouldn't invest. Then he'd go on twitter and pledge millions and then he'd do a TikTok with an unfeasible deadline before officially retiring for football ownership.

    I remember 7 mill. Which no doubt steadily increased in the Trew years?



    ''Trew found £7 million worth of debt, even with Eriksson writing off much of what he was owed, alongside what were described as “unusual” payments on the books totalling almost £200,000, many going to Bahrain. And the mess is still being cleaned up''.
