Not the Super Bowl? Texans win AFC Championship then 😉

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.

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.

Great timing, you’ve just said this!

Yeah it’s surely way too late for the courts to help us, but it’s a decent clutch at a possible deterrent to Whittingham just letting us rot.

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.

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.

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.
