Another day at Morecambe.
It's started with a statement from the Bond Group Investments and Jason Whittingham.
There is no doubt that the Club is in a precarious position and is at a
crisis point. We also appreciate the stress this is causing for all
connected with Morecambe FC.
As majority shareholder we are
making every effort to resolve any issues that have arisen and are
working to protect the best interests of the Club.
Bond Group
Investments has started the process to dismiss the Board of Directors
with immediate effect in order that we can take control over the
situation giving us the required additional time to ensure that the Club
has the best chance to avoid Administration.
We hope the The
Board of Directors put the interest of the club before any personal
grievances and during this delicate time of negotiation to save the
club, refrain from their propensity of issuing negative statements.
The
notion that Bond Group Investments is stalling is not true. Bond Group
Investments need to ensure that any transfer of shares, in a sale, is
done in a way that holds no recourse for either the Club or Bond Group.
The safety of the Club’s future is paramount.
Our focus today is
to work to find solutions to resolve the matter of staff salary and the
Sale of the Club to avoid Administration at all costs.
The
staff, players and management team at the club have all been notified as
have the National League. We will be communicating with the Supporters
Trust.
We are deeply sorry for the distress and uncertainty this
is causing. Our next communication will be tomorrow morning to confirm
the outcome.
Thank you.
Jason Whittingham,
On behalf of Bond Group Investments
For the record readers may remember Whittingham was involved with Worcester Warriors when they had financial problems.
