Offered a contract by Morecombe today - let's hope we don't wait too long - so much is in speculation at the moment! - I hate not knowing!

CP I really wish you had not posted that link, as It looks like Craig will stay with Morecambe, which will be a great loss for us. >:( Mcilroy has been an unpopular (with the fans) manager for quite some time now and just when we wanted him to stay for a few more weeks, (Enough time for Stanners to sign for us) he goes a leaves!! :aww: Just our luck. :-/

I also asked him if it made any difference with the situation at Morecombe changing. He said he doubted it very much and they hadn't been in contact with him at all.
If they haven't ... then it sounds very much as though they will ......

Just wonder who ever is in chrge next season will offer him a contract.
Yeah, but before McIlroy left there was zero chance of his ever going back to Morecambe (and who can blame him, I woke up on Morecambe beach once after a particularly rough night and though the place had been nuked); now that there is a new manager one of the biggest impediments to him remaining has been removed. I still think it's more likely that he'll move one, but what I'm saying is that we come even more appealing if we're in a higher division. And from what I've heard of Stanley, he's a player who could step up.

That's right, Tommy & CP Gull. That's the other "thing" that I had forgotten about, could depend on Bucks. I know Stanners is going to be at Shrewsbury, on Friday, and that can only be encouraging news for TUFC. Stanners did say, on Twitter, the other day, that he had "Been down to the gym and getting ready for hols". No mention of anything else.

I believe he is planning to be at Shewsbury on Friday night for the second leg so that can only be good news. Could all depend on Buckles future, though.

I'm your biggest fan I'll follow you until you love me, Su-per, Su-per Stan-ley.

Now, with McIlroy gone, does that mean that Stanners could be back in favour at Morecambe? Also, Morecambe annouced yesterday, that they will not be offering new contracts to 9 players. They listed the players names, on their web site, and Stanners name was NOT amongst them!! Intresting.
Yes, it is isn't it. :whistle:

Spotted in the Gulls Nest 20 minutes before kick off, so I'm gonna stick out my neck here and suggest the OP is correct in his assertion.

They (Morecambe) have released nine players today - so plenty of scope you would think within their playing budget to offer him decent money.

I still think we have a reasonable chance of signing him though - our cause would probably be helped though if we were to get promoted and/or Paul Buckle were to stay. That said, you do get the feeling that he has gotten on really well with this new teammates down here and by the sounds of it he does seem to like the area.
From what I understand he is highly popular amongst the team and would agree with you. I am not so sure that he is quite so keen on the area mind you! Whilst there is undoubtedly a great team spirit at the club you can't help but think that may be somewhat undone should Buckle (and 1 or 2 others move on). It also appears as though our slow pace of life down here and lack of (relative) night life / things to do isn't to the liking of all the players and therefore the lure of city life (Bristol perhaps?) might be more attractive to some including Stanley maybe...

I hope I'm wrong though..
