Jim Bentley - officially appointed. on 14:51 - Aug 29 by ArthurDaley | A couple of years ago ( or longer ) didn't Jim get fined by the EFL for something . A couple of grand and the Morecombe fans had a whip round to pay his fine. |
During Morecambe's 1—2 defeat to Cheltenham on 17 December 2016, Bentley was sent off from the dugout, after reacting to Alex Kenyon's dismissal. He received a £750 fine with £250 costs and a two match touchline ban[6] from the FA after a personal hearing. At the following home game, a 4—1 victory over Notts County, Morecambe fans held a 'bucket collection' and raised the £1,000. From Wikipedia | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Some of our crowd can turn toxic quite quickly, though. Be prepared for a rough ride if results are still poor after half a dozen games or so. Sorry, I should be more encouraging but results have been bob for a good number of seasons, now. Good luck. Hope you can turn things around - particularly at home. | ![](/images/avatars/1530.gif) |

Interesting observation, Mike, about the crowd. I think that is a societal issue, though, associated with the "age of entitlement", rather than an idiosyncrasy of an RAFC crowd. I know you weren't suggesting the latter btw. | ![](/images/avatars/17584.gif) |

Yep, great to see, and plenty of happy faces in the sunshine We can now look forward to Hendo breaking the goalscoring record, something that was beginning to look like it might take an age | ![](/images/avatars/1219.gif) |

Jim Bentley - officially appointed. on 14:37 - Sep 2 with 2246 views | 49thseason | I was just thinking its a relief to escape the tedious " coaching- speak" we have endured since before Hill was sacked. ... get the ball, pass it forwards, score goals sounds like a simple plan compared to some of the word-salad of recent years ,,,, " possesion - based, recycling the ball, turnovers, and all the other nonsense. Long may it be so! | ![](/images/avatars/1190.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
