Morecambe FC: further statement made over future of the club
Bond Group Investments and Jason Whittingham have today published comments about the situation facing the Shrimps
Another public statement over the future of Morecambe Football Club has been issued.
This time it is on behalf of the Bond Group Investments & Jason Whittingham who are the current owners. They deny they are trying to delay a sale. It says:
"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."
Yesterday a number of statements from the Board of Directors were made which indicated administrators would be called in today.
It's after talks over the weekend to try and complete the sale of the club from the Bond Group to Panjab Warriors did not reached an agreement.
However today's statement on behalf of the Bond group says:
"Our focus today is to work to find solutions to resolve the matter of staff salary and the Sale of the Club to avoid Administration at all costs.
"The staff, players and management team at the club have all been notified as have the National League. We will be communicating with the Supporters Trust.
"We are deeply sorry for the distress and uncertainty this is causing. Our next communication will be tomorrow morning to confirm the outcome".
Morecambe suffered relegation from League Two at the end of the season and will play in the National League next season.
