The Shrimps Trust have released an update about the situation at Morecambe:
“The Shrimps Trust understand that ‘Jonny Cato’ and consortium haven’t been introduced to the National League
“And evidently due to lack of update from Bond Group, a deal wasn’t signed as promised, yet again.
“Tomorrow never comes with this man, it is always false promise, at convenient moments, to cause more delay, whilst our club slowly dies.
“Every tomorrow that goes by, is another unpaid bill for our club staff. It’s another reminder letter from someone they owe money to, through no fault of their own.
“The only person to blame for that is Jason Whittingham. The knock-on effects of this for the staff at the club are huge.
“No more nonsense statements for the benefit of Sky. No more dangling wages being paid in the cruel way you have over the past 3 weeks. Sell the club, Jason.
“We have been in touch with the EFL, NL & FA over the weekend.
“We urge all parties to move on matters as quickly as possible, especially after the Panjab Warriors statement over the weekend.
“We are meeting with the NL on Tuesday and will provide an update – we have worked with Lizzi Collinge MP over the weekend to urge the need for expedience from the regulating bodies.”
“We were pleased to see PW statement yesterday.
“As per our previous statements, we have been working with PW in relation to their legal action and will continue to support their needs in these matters.”
“Having made some enquiries, we understand that the fixture on Tuesday has been cancelled as the players as a group have decided not to play until the current ownership position is resolved.
“The players along with club staff have not been paid for nearly 4 weeks. We support their decision.”
