Morecambe FC directors write open letter over ownership
They claim there could be a "catastrophic outcome" if a new owner is not found
The directors of Morecambe FC have written to the owners of the club, warning that there could be a "catastrophic outcome" if a new owner is not found.
A meeting was held yesterday between the board and the Bond Group.
In a letter, published on their website and social media, they said: "Sadly, your future funding assurances have now failed to come to fruition so often that, in the absence of substantial funds from Bond Group landing in the Morecambe Football Club account, they come across as meaningless, and we must take them as such in order to be responsible.
"As for the Middle East-based potential buyer you first told us was interested in buying the Club approximately a year ago, you have provided no tangible evidence or introduction during this time to enable us to consider them serious or credible."
"You have one apparently serious offer on the table from a US-based potential buyer which, based on what we know, is the most credible which has been made since you placed the Club up for sale over 20 months ago.
"Please accept this second offer now, so that there is a chance that a sale might be completed, and a catastrophic outcome be avoided."
The Shrimps finished in League 2 in 15th place, but were deducted three points for failing to pay their players on time earlier in the season.
Manager Ged Brannan also recently left the club. They have also released 16 players following the end of the season.
