New interest in purchasing Morecambe FC has emerged this evening according to owner Jason Whittingham.
Who or whom that might be isn't known. And what about the Punjab Warriors offer? Haven't they already put money into the club?
Bond Group are pleased to announce that agreements will be signed this evening in relation to the sale of Morecambe FC.
A last-minute bid came through from a UK Buyer after learning about the club’s situation. That buyer has worked over the last 24 hours to turn around a payment to his solicitors for wages to be paid and agreed contracts pending approval of the sale by the National League.
He has already started preparing documentation for National League to give their approval for the sale and confirmed his financial support for the club this coming season, provided his takeover is approved.
This buyer will make their own statement shortly to introduce themselves and set out their plans for the club over the coming seasons.
Further announcements to follow tomorrow.
Jason Whittingham,
Bond Group Investments LTD
