Excerpt:

Rumours have been rife in recent months that the vocalist, who grew up in Moss Side and Stretford, is ready to return to live in Manchester, and the petition organisers hope to show how much he is missed.

Carl McDonald, 38, who is himself returning home to Manchester later this year after spending four years in Dublin, says the idea came to him after a discussion with other ‘Moz’ devotees on the internet.

“We were talking about the wonderful changes in recent times in Manchester and how the one thing missing from the city is it’s most famous and most talented son,” he said.

“ We discussed ways of tempting him home, such as promising to force all butchers’ shops in a five mile radius of his home to close down.

“But we settled on the Internet petition idea so that fans from all over the world could join in and help to end this terrible situation.”

    they had him for long enough and was treated like an old toy that they outgrew. it's too late for remorse! we in america (or at least, the people outside of the loonies of LA) deserve him.

      Is anything less likely to bring Morrissey scurrying back to Manchester than the prospect of a thousand eager petition-signing fans waiting on his doorstep?

        This is a nice idea - but isn't up to Morrissey where He lives? He isn't some sort of ornament.

        Is that a joke? (Score:0)
        Why is it important where he lives? Where he lives shouldn't be the fan's domain. If you have opinions about the music, have at it. But I can't imagine by what end wanting him to move to Manchester is motivated. Do they just want to be closer to the man, or is it a matter of overdeveloped hometown pride? Where someone makes their home is a pretty personal decision. Please tell me they are kidding with this.

            Oh, dear, how pathetic. I might point out that Morrissey being the difficult person he is would stay in LA precisely because he was asked to come back to Manchester by fans from darkest Peru who did not know it existed. I might also add that although I would like him within driving distance, LA is awfully romantic... anyway...

                Anyone else heard anything? or is this all bollocks - based entirely on the fact that he happens to have been spending a bit of time in the UK since finishing touring here.
