Former EFL side at risk of being KICKED OUT of National League and set deadline to fix ‘serious financial problems'
MORECAMBE are in danger of being booted out the National League amid huge financial problems. The Shrimps were relegated from League Two last season as they fell out the EFL for the first time since 2007. 1 Morecambe owner Jason Whittingham took over in 2018 but has been looking to sell for the last three years. Despite bids to buy the club, a sale has still not gone through and they are in danger of administration. After transfer bans, point deductions and unpaid wages in recent years, Morecambe now face further punishments and being kicked out the league cannot be ruled out. A statement from the fifth tier read: "The National League continues to have serious concerns surrounding Morecambe Football Club and its compliance with National League rules. "The National League met with Jason Whittingham earlier this week where discussions regarding the club's ability to meet its financial obligations for the 2025/2026 season took place. "The National League's Club Compliance and Licensing Committee wrote to Mr Whittingham on Thursday 24 July 2025 to outline terms that must be met by 12 noon on Monday 28 July 2025. "The National League's Club Compliance and Licensing Committee will reconvene on the afternoon of Monday 28 July 2025 to discuss the matter again and discuss possible further sanctions." It comes after a group named the Panjab Warriors had a takeover bid approved by the EFL in June. The board threatened to put Morecambe into administration to force through the sale. Whittingham responded by sacking the entire board before later inviting them back to oversee the final stages of the takeover. Then just a few days later they resigned when control was still not relinquished by Whittingham. The owner then said a last-gasp bid was made by a group led by Jonny Cato. Fans are still waiting for a sale and legal action is being threatened by a group of minority shareholders. Rugby club Worcester Warriors were expelled from the Premiership under Whittingham's management in 2022.
