I don't think it's a surprise what he says about Cook, more so if that's really our playing budget. While Harvey was a great player at our level, and very unfortunate with the timing of his heart problems just as he'd put Morecambe in a position to get them into the FL, his subsequent management career has been disappointing and not on a par with Micky's.

Micky is a better manager than Harvey and our wage budget is £1-1.1 million, not £2.3 million. There has been some inflation since Morecambe got promoted. Mellon is probably the best manager we have had since Mathias or earlier, when all factors are considered (communication, rapport with the supporters).

Jim was a good player mind.
