Leaving Morecambe 'Most Difficult Decision' Said White

One of Morecambe players has posted that he is leaving the club for all the wrong reasons.

Tom White joined the club 13 months ago but has decided to leave. 

"I've had to make the most difficult decision of my career and I have decided to depart for reasons that should never occur in football,"he said as reported by the Carlisle News and Star.

"What has happened to Morecambe, Bury, Macclesfield, and many other clubs is a catastrophic failure and a failure caused by negligence, arrogance and a lack of knowledge.

 "From the gaffer and Danny [Grainger], to my team-mates, staff behind the scenes and the fans, the solidarity, heart and empathy you've all shown to one another, while trying to find positives in the most horrific situation, will stick with me forever.

"Morecambe Football Club is special; I’m aware that I’m at risk of using all the clichés under the sun. I can’t put into words how much you have all impacted my life and restored my faith in how I see the game.

"I’ve never played the sport for money or status, I play it to be able to represent my family and the people of the club. And I could not have picked a better set of people to represent. 

"This institution needs to survive, and I’m praying it does. Keep fighting and hopefully I will see you all soon.”
