The sale of Morecambe has not been completed as of 9pm this evening, so the Board of Directors has released a further statement.
The Board of Directors of Morecambe Football Club wish to share the following update regarding today’s statements.
Following further discussions with Jason Whittingham this afternoon and evening, it is apparent to the Board of Directors that he is, for some reason, stalling for time and attempting to drag out what is a truly horrible situation and decision for as long as possible.
We must emphasise that this is without providing the Board with any substantive or convincing reasons for us to responsibly delay triggering the administration process.
The Board of Directors have, this evening, informed Jason that administrators will be called, at the earliest opportunity, tomorrow morning.
Jason still has the chance to do the right thing, agree to sell his shares tomorrow morning, but that opportunity expires once and for all after that.
Rod Taylor,
On behalf of the Board of Directors
