A statement has been released from Jason Whittingham on the ongoing Morecambe takeover saga, Panjab Warriors and MPs.
It reads that Bond Group Investments are actively working with potential buyers to secure Morecambe Football Club’s future, expecting a sale to be finalised soon.
He claims that despite recent interest and provided support, some parties, including Panjab Warriors, have made unhelpful and inaccurate statements.
Bond Group has invited Panjab to a mediation meeting, but received no response, and also criticised uninformed comments from others, including MPs, have negatively impacted the sale process.
Key stakeholders are regularly updated, and an Interim Board will be appointed to oversee the final stages of the sale.
Jason Whittingham has decided to issue a new statement, regarding the sale of Morecambe FC.
He mentioned that Panjab Warriors are making statements that are not true to reality, and that there are a number of other potential buyers in talks.
An ongoing mess. Sort it.#UTS 🦐 https://t.co/DKOJ7pbF5N

“Our advisory team” is funny. The advisor is called Wason Jittingham?
“Interim board” will never happen, or it will & it wouldn’t make any difference.
We will not be sold and we’ll be expelled in 9 days. Don’t allow yourself to even be half-fooled by this pathetic individual. https://t.co/dSz6I35RGF pic.twitter.com/6BunfAsVBJ

STATEMENT:
We continue to work with a number of potential buyers to secure the future of Morecambe Football Club, all of whom are aware of the urgency of the Club’s position and fully expect this process to complete this week.There has seen a flurry of interest over the last month, and each potential Buyer has been given the required information and support in order to finalise their intention and plans toward the Club and the Community.
This includes Panjab Warriors who, unfortunately, continue to issue statements that bear no relevance to actual events, are unhelpful and quite frankly bemusing. That said we have agreed to a Mediation meeting with Panjab, for this Wednesday, and await them confirming final details. Despite Panjab’s recent comments it was Bond Group that formally invited Panjab to Mediation but received no response from them.
Those not directly involved in this process choose to make uninformed statements for their own self-promotion, including Members of Parliament. None of these people have made any effort to contact Bond Group in order to discuss the situation directly but instead use their platforms to spread inaccurate information which is irresponsible and has affected the sale process.
Key stakeholders of the club are regularly updated, as we along with our Advisory team engage with Buyers and remain fully supportive of the process.
We will be appointing an Interim Board imminently to facilitate the final stages of the sale process.
More to follow.

Here’s how fans responded to the statement from Jason Whittingham on the Morecambe takeover, Panjab Warriors and MPs…
@LRbix: Stop fucking lying and sell the club
@SSE_LTFC: Just sell the fucking club you wankers
@SBJJC97: It’s the governments fault the sales not gone through now
@adammfc123: Welcome to the board Havva Goldring and J M Kennedy
@HarrisonRey88: It’s not even stalling at this point, it just feels like he’s taking the pure piss. Just fucking sell my club man.
@rooobellis: Still no apology to staff and another “this week” nonsense statement. See you lads in 9 days sadly.
@thomas_obeirne: No mention of the National League suspension, staff still not being paid and barely any players left. He is killing the club and calls everyone else liars!
@DanTaylor22: Oh so… Jason is the victim and it’s everyone else’s fault and those meddling MPs and media outlets need to stop lying because it’s scaring away Mickey Mouse and his consortium. 🤥
@AndyJamesMack: Not a single ounce of accountability. You haven’t paid people in months yet it’s everyone else’s fault. Get out of our club.
@stormcloud25: It’s all bollocks, no one believes a word. IF you wanted to get your side across why didn’t you speak with the BBC when they were on you doorstep last week??? Does your ‘advisory team’ get paid???
@cllrdclifford: There they go using that word imminently again, we all know what that means. We have exactly 9 days before the NL expels us, do they really think they can complete a sale, recruit players and staff and begin the season. Absolute tosh peddled by people who have never told the truth
@JackHolroyd19: So fucking boring, stop talking utter shite for once
@stormcloud25: More BS from Whittingham where everyone else is to blame for ‘delays to the sale’ from Panjab to a variety of MP’s. The BBC were on your doorstep an you refused to speak with them. There is photographic evidence of this. Where is the evidence of your claims?
@bennymac1994: you’re and absolute disgrace of a owner don’t think you’ll ever realise what a football club means to a town/city stop fucking about and leave the club hope it gets sorted cause i can’t imagine not watching my hometown club every saturday
@cooomber: This isn’t even a statement to reassure fans about the clubs future this is just a backlash to people who have said stuff about him. He has shown he clearly doesn’t want a sale and continues to put out utter bullshit about prospective buyers. The guy needs to be hung!
