Perhaps check their geographical reach before giving the impression of being another person who denigrates local success?

Geographical reach? They sell a franchise for a few grand such as Morecambe eats. like another poster mentioned, compared to the current owners and their business acumen, the “eats lot” pale into comparison, only way we can show the owners we want an EFL club is by turning out in numbers, 12 games left, if we get none league attendances for those 12 games ( as it’s all a accumulative) makes a huge difference to the “pot” the club have and sends a clear message about the interest of the town.

Surely it's pointless asking for people on here to watch our club THIS has to come from the Club if they're struggling then they should let the community know!

It means to me and others that no decision has been made yet. Evening mail might well be late but as it stands.. he is our Interim manager

Well known Sam Cunningham pulled out of Barrow and has instead pumped his money into the rugby after being treated poorly by the BOD , it’s relegation sadly confirmed.
Business is business and if Mr Cunningham has chosen to back the rugby then fine, it's only the same as when Mr Wilkes joined us..

I just think sometimes people like to stir the proverbial for some strange reason.. would you just rather we didn't exist and didn't have a club no more
FFS.. mind boggles it really does sometimes

How much money they putting in ? Money put into the Rugby I suspect would go a lot further than into the Football

The selection of the next manager is the biggest decision in the clubs history

Not do the directors want to keep funding the club when fans are not going ?

People don’t want to go and watch that awful football. I won’t be going again until it improves 👍🏻

I know of one manager that has applied for the job and is yet to receive a reply. Previously in league one, Not sure what’s happening but doesn’t seem to be much of a plan in place.
