Morecambe FC new Panjabi owners issue a statement:
Panjab Warriors are delighted to become the new owners of Morecambe Football Club.
A special mention to all the members of staff at Morecambe (both playing and non-playing) and to all players for showing true integrity and togetherness over the past few months during this difficult period.
We would like to thank the local community and all our incredible supporters of Morecambe FC, whose passion and resilience carried the club through some extremely difficult moments. It was truly great to see these fans represented with such professionalism by the Shrimps Trust, firstly under the leadership of Tarnia Elsworth and now under Patrick Stoyles a true example of how to channel all the different voices into one very strong robust voice that has been very instrumental in achieving this historic outcome.
We are truly proud of the response of all, both young and old that have collectively shown such amazing strength of character in the face of such adversity, all at Panjab Warriors deem themselves very fortunate to be given this opportunity to integrate with such an amazing Fan base.
We would also like to thank the numerous MPs, including the Prime Minister and Lisa Nandy MP, Secretary of State for Culture, Media, and Sport but Lizzi Collinge MP for her tireless support of the club, including raising its plight in Parliament, and her unequivocal support of the club throughout this summer.
We can now move forward and pursue our objectives of building a football operation that is on par with the best of modern standards across clubs in England. Morecambe spent 18 proud years in the EFL. It is where the club belongs, and we will do everything we can to get there again.
Our initial aim for this season was to immediately challenge for direct promotion back to League Two, but we understand that due to the events and circumstances of the last couple of months, it will be difficult to achieve that objective this season. The priority for this season will be to ensure that we have a competitive team on the pitch, and rebuild the foundations.
