What about the EFL Owners and Directors Test and its historic failings? The chokehold the Premier League has the EFL in? The disproportionate power dynamics that favour external investors who have little stake in the long-term security of football clubs?

Yeah, let's hope so. A good idea to ping Matt an email I think, especially in a moment when there's another influx of movement across from Twitter. Hopefully engagement & even that starter pack will help convince them - feel free to add my name to it!

Thanks for making the account! Hoping that the club might pick the official account back up again sometime. Shame there's been such little demand, though I guess the same could probably be said for most BlueSky audiences.

Obvs the main point is celebrating multiculturalism and progressivism, undeniably a huge success. But eg warning the govt to not adopt tax policies that 'drive away the wealthy' actively reinforces its socio-econ superiority - at the expense of the rest of the country, much of which is on its knees

These being the words of Will Orr-Ewing, who is the founder of one of the biggest tutoring companies in the country, who profit massively from the cultural hold of the eleven-plus!

This is a disaster not merely for Morecambe but for the whole of football. Yet another club brought to the brink by an entirely unsuitable owner acting without any regulatory constraints.
