TSFFS S2 EP 21
We begin the show with our usual feature on the NWCFL, covering all the highs and lows, and the key movers and shakers.
Lower Brecks captain Connor Millington attributes the club's success to unity. "They are going that extra 10 per cent for each other," he says. But what has happened at Bury, who've moved their manager upstairs and are currently seeking a replacement?
Radcliffe has confirmed that an approach was made regarding Managers Anthony Johnson and Bernard Morley, and wishes to clarify that it has been formally rejected. One assumes this was for the vacant position at Bury. We ask, what kind of manager is the right fit for the club?
In the controversial section of the show, we examine Prescot Cables' decision to forfeit their game against Lower Breck in the Liverpool Senior Cup, without a goalkeeper fit enough to compete.
"Rules set by the County FA state that, as this is a rescheduled fixture following an earlier postponement on 17th November, only players registered with the club on the original match date are eligible. The FA has rejected our request for dispensation to register the emergency loan, which leaves us facing the farcical prospect of playing without a goalkeeper."
Are the rules more of a hindrance than a help?
Morecambe have hit the headlines again, not long after it had all gone quiet. This time, one of the key figures involved in Morecambe's summer takeover and ongoing management has been sanctioned by the UK government, suspected of links to terrorist organisations in India. Shock or storm in a teacup?
If you can't offer a balanced critique to a referee face-to-face, is it fair to do so on a public forum? The refereeing fraternity thinks not, and they're not backwards in coming forward with their opinions. We discuss our latest experience with a referee at our level and pose all kinds of questions.
We finish the show with our usual predictions and expert analysis.
All that and more.
