When Bury went under, everyone agreed this must never happen again.
Six years on, and less than a week after the Football Regulator Bill was signed into law, and it's about to happen again.

Morecambe's final pre-season friendly was supposed to be tomorrow against Lancaster City. It has now been cancelled, which means Morecambe may already have played their last game.

Desperate to force deadbeat Morecambe owner Jason Whittingham out, a group of fans is planning a "minority shareholder action" to get a court order to compel him to sell the club.

- £2.2 billion?

How much money have shareholders extracted from the English water system since the 1980s, which is facing 'an almost epic collapse in quality and competence'? @mrjamesob.bsky.social can't believe the figure.

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.
🚨 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.

Holy moly, having spent two-and-a-half years trying to sell the club and having found a buyer, got EFL approval and taken their money, Jason Whittingham is tonight claiming to have sold Morecambe to a last-minute mystery bidder. There will surely be lawyers.

🚨Morecambe board have stepped down🚨
Companies House is now showing the entire board has stepped down. Given that Whittingham would not yet have been able to hold a shareholder vote to authorise this, I assume they have done so voluntarily.
As of now, I think Morecambe have no corporate officers.
