Just look at them!
Morecambe board give Tuesday afternoon deadline for owner to complete a sale
Two hours to go, and I haven’t heard anything.
This isn’t liquidation, Morecambe will still exist if the sale doesn’t happen in time, but the points deduction will make a hard season even harder. (the bookies current best odds for promotion are 6-1, compare with Carlisle United’s best of 19-20)
Following further discussions with Jason Whittingham this afternoon and evening, it is apparent to the Board of Directors that he is, for some reason, stalling for time and attempting to drag out what is a truly horrible situation and decision for as long as possible.
We must emphasise that this is without providing the Board with any substantive or convincing reasons for us to responsibly delay triggering the administration process.
The Board of Directors have, this evening, informed Jason that administrators will be called, at the earliest opportunity, tomorrow morning.
Jason still has the chance to do the right thing, agree to sell his shares tomorrow morning, but that opportunity expires once and for all after that.
Rod Taylor,
On behalf of the Board of Directors
Going into administration to force the sale of the club is an option of last resort, with a 10 point deduction in the National League, but Morecambe are financially fucked if they don’t do this.
Public Statement on behalf of Bond Group Investments & Jason Whittingham.
There is no doubt that the Club is in a precarious position and is at a crisis point. We also appreciate the stress this is causing for all connected with Morecambe FC.
As majority shareholder we are making every effort to resolve any issues that have arisen and are working to protect the best interests of the Club.
Bond Group Investments has started the process to dismiss the Board of Directors with immediate effect in order that we can take control over the situation giving us the required additional time to ensure that the Club has the best chance to avoid Administration.
This is really bad. Morecambe might not survive this.
Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest results: Joey Chestnut claims 17th win with 70.5 hot dogs after 1-year ban
He’s the Michael Phelps of his sport.
Such as it is.
Oh I certainly know the name. That’s just my reaction to the hotdog eating contest.
The National League Cup is more hated than the EFL Trophy. Nobody wants to play against the Premier League U21s. Nobody cares. 3,062 people went to the NL Cup final between Leeds United U21s and Sutton United last season. 38,600 went to the more prestigious FA Trophy final between Aldershot Town and Spennymoor Town.
“And secondly Brian Lara is a legend, let’s be real.”
Morecambe have been put under a transfer embargo
FFS Jason, just sell the club while it still exists.
