You love to see it.

Nice to be outside the Morecambe FC stadium with a smile on my face talking to BBC Lancashire. Really appreciate local and national coverage, especially from people like @uglygame.bsky.social who have been on it for a long time.

Disappointing to see the BBC getting the basics wrong, here. Kuljeet Singh Momi is neither the majority shareholder in Panjab Warriors nor Morecambe - he's not even the largest shareholder in PW. PW have bought about 76% of Morecambe. Momi owns 42.5% of Panjab, giving him about 33% of Morecambe. 1/

While this sounds hopeful, it was never in doubt that the group that had EFL approval would receive it from the National League. And so nothing has actually changed - indeed, nothing will change until the deal is completed. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

Late afternoon, Monday 11th August, Jason Whittingham: "We will be appointing an Interim Board imminently to facilitate the final stages of the sale process." As of now, no directors have been appointed.

Goldring doesn't own part of Morecambe and has no right to act in a directorial or ownership capacity. He has no entitlement to be part of those negotiations nor approval of the relevant authorities. Which leads one to wonder if facts about Morecambe's ownership and finances have been concealed.

Jason Whittingham is perhaps the worst owner in English professional football. Morecambe deserves not just better than him - that's a low, low bar - but an owner set up to rebuild the club and then help move it forward. To my mind, all we really know about PW is they aren't Jason Whittingham.

Pardon my french, but look at this bullshit. Effortwise, this is maybe 1.5 out of 10 for magicking up a global company. It's frankly disrespectful to Morecambe fans to yank their chains like this. simha-group.com

With two months wages unpaid, outstanding Vat liabilities, and no communication between the owner and any prospective buyer, it seems hard to imagine what assurances financial or otherwise Jason Whittingham could give to the National League. And given that, the NL's options are limited.

Well, if anything, it makes Monday and even bigger deadline. Any assurances he offers will be worthless if he can't show he's not going to miss payday two months in a row.

People's lives are being ruined because Jason Whittingham gambled and lost, but doesn't have the gumption and decency to admit it and to accept the consequences of his actions.

I'm not lawyer, so I have no idea. I don't think he could afford to buy them out (he owns 80%) and nor are they objecting to any specific buyer - they just want it done. As to the delay, you may well be right.

Today in Morecambe: -the players, who've had only 1/3 of their June pay, have decided (rightly) to down tools until the club changes hands -the Supporters Trust say that the supposed new bidders have not been in touch with the National League and, essentially, accuse Jason Whittingham of lying

A brief history of Jason Whittingham and Bond Group announcing the sale of Morecambe FC... 1/

The first official communication from crisis club Morecambe in a week: the team's next pre-season friendly will be played behind closed doors. Presumably, because the club can't afford security and other matchday staff to allow the fans to be present.

Evening read

To people who think that small clubs don't matter or that no one wants to know about them: this piece has the most reads in the first two hours of anything I've written since I broke the story of Man City's fake crypto partner in 2022.

For context: the cost of the Club World Cup trophy that Trump stole, necessitating the creation of a new one, would clear Morecambe's outstanding player wages and Vat bill. What is no more than loose change to the top of football would rescue clubs at the bottom.

🚨 Exclusive 🚨 “We have only days left, literally days.” In their first public statement since resigning, I spoke to two former directors of Morecambe about the madness of the last month and their fears for the future of the club. theuglygame.wordpress.com/2025/07/14/w...

The future of a precious football club is hanging in the balance. Unless something changes, it could simply vanish at any time in the next week. Please share the piece as widely as possible. theuglygame.wordpress.com/2025/07/14/w...

Exclusive story coming shortly.

No news is bad news. On Wednesday, deadbeat Morecambe owner Jason Whittingham claimed he'd found a new buyer for the club and that there would be more news the next day. The only news that followed was the previous bidders, jilted rubes the Panjab Warriors threatened to sue. Since then, nothing. 1/

"Morecambe is being held hostage - a move that threatens its very surival. We believe the undisclosed mention of so-called investors at this late stage is misleading and potentially fraudulent." Morecambe's prospective owners come out swinging. (Via @mattsevern.bsky.social)

And, per @morecambefcfeed.bsky.social, the club has still not unveiled, let alone started selling, this season's kit. Jason Whittingham can't keep delaying endlessly; eventually it will destroy Morecambe.

Had I not drawn it to their attention several months later, Goldring might still have been a director now. At all levels, then, the Morecambe story is one of administrative failure on an epic scale.

Yesterday, Morecambe's prospective owners blamed delays on Jason Whittingham and on Colin Goldring, the former co-owner. Goldring was a lawyer who was struck off by the SRA "for the protection of the public" after £8m of a foreign prince's money vanished... theuglygame.wordpress.com/2022/09/02/s...

Interesting one, this. Panjab Warriors, the corporate vehicle that took ten months to get EFL approval to buy Morecambe, has just filed paperwork showing it's sold 15% of itself. This might suggest what was long suspected: that buyer Kuljeet Singh Momi couldn't get EFL approval on his own... 1/

For it to happen on the same day that manager Derek Adams is rumoured to be leaving looks like a bit of a mess, to put it mildly.

ICYMI Derek Adams is set to be sacked by Morecambe tomorrow, as per Pete O’Rourke.

Having received EFL approval to buy Morecambe, Kuljeet Singh Momi's consortium has launched a website. It reads like it was written by an AI trained only on LinkedIn posts. panjabwarriors.com

Morecambe fans are fund-raising to help the next stage of their campaign against Jason Whittingham, the owner who's destroying their club. If you can, please consider helping.

Some sort of War of the Worlds action going on at @morecambefcfeed.bsky.social today ?

Part 2 🙌

On Tuesday, I revealed that the mystery bidder for Morecambe is Kuljeet Singh Momi, a former business partner of the last bidder. Today, I’ve tried to answer the age old question about a prospective owner: Is he well-off or is he actually “football rich”? theuglygame.wordpress.com/2024/11/29/m...

Excellent work from Martin again on our club’s situation.

🚨Exclusive 🚨 Morecambe’s prospective new owner is a man called Kuljeet Singh Momi, a former business partner of Sarbjot Johal, the 22yo entrepreneur who attempted to buy the club last year but was unable to pass the EFL's Owners and Directors Test. theuglygame.wordpress.com/2024/11/25/m...

And welcome to Bluesky to @morecambefcfeed.bsky.social - the best source of news for what's going on at this (sadly) troubled club.

A new buyer was imminently about to complete about three months ago, identity undisclosed. Since then, Whittingham has regularly assured the supporters that it's just about to happen, often suggesting it was all very advanced. But the weeks tick past with no deal, nor any reason for the delay.

After having been for sale for over two years - always with the false promise of an imminent sale - Morecambe fans are protesting on Saturday against Jason Whittingham, the man who refuses either to fund the club properly or sell it for what it's worth.

Good evening to everyone on this app. Yes, this is the same account as you’ve seen elsewhere, just on a much cleaner app :) Let’s grow the Morecambe FC community on here. #UTS #MorecambeFC #EFL 🦐
