Chester's bid rejected for Twiss

Morecambe Football Club received a bid this afternoon for the transfer of registration of top goal scorer Michael Twiss to Chester City Football Club for the total sum of £50,000.



The bid has, this evening, been rejected by the Morecambe board of directors.



Twiss who has scored 16 goals this season was given a free transfer by Chester and joined Morecambe last August. Mark Wright was manager at that time.



Morecambe manager, Jim Harvey, was delighted that the offer had been rejected by the Morecambe board. He told the official Morecambe Website, "Michael has done well for us this season, his football and confidence are improving all the time and I feel he will play a pivotal role in our assault for a play-off place in the Nationwide Conference. I spoke with Michael this morning & he made it very clear to me that he did not want to move from Morecambe.



Michael Twiss himself said, "I am very happy at Christie Park and enjoying my football more now than I have for quite some time. We have a great set of lads and the atmosphere and team spirit at the club is superb, we are in a good position to be in the play-offs and I am certainly not looking for a move from here at all.
