Lee Tomlin and Raheem Conte

Thu Aug 21, 2025 8:55 am

Lee Tomlin becomes assistant manager for Non Lesgue Morecambe who have hardly any players and has brought in Raheem Conte ex Cardiff Defender.

Lee Tomlin is mainly remembered for his troubles off the field, but he could of been a class player and had one brilliant season out of four for Cardiff City.

He was amazing on his day. Shame mental health got to him. He single handily won us a few games. That assist against Leeds to come back 3-3 was outstanding.

Assist was superb and he was brilliant on his day but how can he tell his team about work ethic and the importance of keeping fit is beyond me. :?:

Andrew, Tomlin was as big a disappointment as I’ve seen at our club. Hugely talented, he could change a game whilst stood still with a magical pass. Sadly, he struggled with injuries and fitness, and whilst w most were angry with him for going missing so often when really needed, it now seems his body was declining rapidly through no fault of his own

I wish him well at Morcambe and hope they all come through this tough time! :ayatollah:

He single handedly carried us to the play offs that one year. Show some respect on his name

Really?

He took very high wages for the next few years and never kept fit and showed us and Our Club NO RESPECT at all.

I didn't like him when he was with us. Yes he had a few good moments but on the whole was lazy and argued with fans on social media.

But because Morecambe fans have had a horrible few months and nearly lost their club, I wish him well.

Just hope his work rate has improved.

Watch the goal and assist in this game. World class touches. If he had "the right attitude" then he wouldn't have ever played for us as his skillset was way above Championship.

We knew exactly what we were getting when he arrived. He showed moments of pure class; and also the polar opposite.

I like him. Throwback lunatic/genius 'Dave Jones type of player'. Damaged goods :laughing6:

I dont think it was a case of him showing us disrespect. He had his personal issues which got in the way of his football.

Yes I can't see him being a good Manager. You need a strong positive attitude and good work rate, can't see either as a strength, I doubt he'll make any sort of success at it, but wish him good luck anyway.

Yes not the best attributes, for a Manager.

Just read again, only assistant manager not as important then, more of a coaching role, maybe the start of something good for him then, time will tell if he has the work rate and can make something from it.

I like tomlin. Clearly a skilled player and is always very positive about us on his socials.

Wish him well. And hopefully conte can kick on now.

Another free loader wonder how he will manager those who dont keep.fit, drink , eat badly , like the safety of high wages ,big reputation,keen on the treatment table , if one keeps fit ,eat and behaviours well tends to deliver a full season commitment to the club and fans paying your wage .
