10:53am, 2 August 2025【Football】

August 1, August 1, Morecum, a 105-year-old "Big Prawn" announced that the club will close next Monday due to financial problems that have not been resolved.

Mockum and its potential buyer Panjab Warriors issued a joint statement saying that the club's youth training academy will be closed on Friday, the club will be officially closed from next Monday (August 4), all club insurance will be invalid, and the bank account funds will be 0.

This joint statement reads that Morecambe Football Club is on the verge of despair

We issue this joint statement with deep sorrow and urgency to elaborate on the critical situation facing Morecambe Football Club. Without immediate action, our 105-year-old club will completely collapse within days.

1. Youth Training Academy will be closed this Friday. Before this weekend, the club's youth training Academy will cease operations:

-No insurance coverage;

-Players and staff are unable to bear the basic travel expenses;

-Parents and player agents are demanding immediate termination of contracts to leave the club;

Losing our youth training Academy will be a devastating blow to local children and aspiring football players, a heavy blow to the community.

2. The club door is closed - funds are exhausted since Monday, August 4:

-The club is officially closed;

-The bank account balance is zero and cashless, which means that operations cannot continue;

-After working hard to maintain the club operation for months, senior staff made a heartbreaking decision to stop work;

An institution with a 105-year history of pride has now completely stagnated.

sports investment firm PanjabWarriors has been in talks with Morecum owner Whitingham on the acquisition of the club for more than a year, and in a statement reiterated that they were “ready, willing and capable” to take over the club. In the statement, PanjabWarriors called on Whitingham to sign the agreement "immediately".
