Morecambe chairman Peter McGuigan insists he is only interested in ensuring the Shrimps stay in League Two this season.

Sammy McIlroy's side are only six points away from the final play-off place after 16 games of the campaign, their first in the league following last season's promotion from the Conference via the play-offs.

However, McGuigan is remaining cautious, saying: "We've had a great start to our first season in the Football League, and staying here's the priority now.

"Morecambe are really moving forward, and remaining in the league is key to that progress and development over the coming years.

"League Two is incredibly close, and I'd like to think we should be looking at a mid-table finish.

"There's a lot of spirit and endeavour in this squad, and Sammy has really motivated them."
