Nandy Urges Immediate Sale of Morecambe FC to Avoid Closure
The Guardian
|August 02, 2025
The culture secretary, Lisa Nandy, has called for the immediate sale of Morecambe football club to avoid the "heartbreaking" closure of the 105-year-old institution within days.
Shareholders at the National League club said it would "officially shut" and face "total collapse" on Monday unless the owner, Jason Whittingham, agreed to sell up.
In a statement, the prospective buyers, Panjab Warriors, and minority shareholders said the club had "£0 in the bank and no cash on site [meaning] operations cannot continue".
The collapse of the century-old club, known as the Shrimps, has added urgency to plans for a new football regulator after similar crises at Bury, Macclesfield, Sheffield Wednesday and Bolton Wanderers.
