Morecambe cease all football operations as owner urged to complete sale

Jason Whittingham claims to be in talks with consortium Panjab Warriors had received takeover clearance in June Morecambe’s prospective buyers have implored the owner of the crisis-hit club to sell up and announced that all first-team football operations have stopped there. Morecambe were suspended from the National League on Monday after a deadline passed for Jason Whittingham of Bond Group Investments to outline how the club would meet its financial obligations for the 2025-26 season. Whittingham had claimed in a statement released the previous day to be working “with the consortium led by Jonny Cato” on a deal to acquire the majority shareholding in Morecambe. He also claimed Bond Group had been unable to contact Panjab Warriors, the London-based investment company who received clearance from the EFL to purchase Morecambe in June.
