McIlroy prepares for Lillis exit

Morecambe assistant boss Mark Lillis
Lillis signed a new 18-month contract in December 2007

Morecambe boss Sammy McIlroy has told BBC Radio Lancashire he is not happy at the prospect of losing his assistant manager Mark Lillis to Hull City.

Lillis is a candidate for an under-23 development role at the KC Stadium.

And McIlroy told BBC Radio Lancashire: "I'm not happy about that but there's nothing I can do, especially at this stage in the season.

"Until it happens we'll have to just get on with the job, I can't stand in anybody's way."

McIlroy and Lillis have worked together with Northern Ireland and at Stockport, Macclesfield and Morecambe.

Meanwhile the Morecambe boss said the club have rejected an offer from Stockport County for star midfielder Carl Baker.

"They did make a bid for Carl but from what I hear our board said it's not what we wanted, I don't want Carl to go, he's a fantastic talent."
