🚨❤️🤍 BREAKING: Eberechi Eze to Arsenal, here we go! Verbal agreement in place between all parties.
Crystal Palace to receive package in excess of £60m as Eze preferred #AFC over Spurs.
Arsenal win race over Tottenham, been in advanced talks for days but never sealed.
What’s happening to Morecambe is a disgrace. Terrible owner, unpaid wages, only 10 senior players, pre-season games cancelled, first three NL games postponed, expulsion a possibility, club’s 105-year existence in grave doubt. Huge credit to their fans like Shrimps Trust and players like Tom White who’ve fought on in such challenging circumstances. Morecambe’s owner, Jason Whittingham, is primarily culpable for this mess/impasse. He needs to sell but hasn’t.
Authorities have let this situation drift despite constant alarms raised by fans. Echoes of what befell Bury. Morecambe’s plight is also echoed elsewhere with unfit owners damaging certain clubs and the national game. If we tolerate this, another club could be next.
Is Whittingham a fit and proper owner? Clearly not. Would others like him get through even a tightened Owners’ and Directors’ Test? Possibly. Even if they pass are the checks on their financial viability frequent enough? At least with the Independent Football Regulator coming in there will be more robust and regular checks. And much needed.
But will the IFR, the fans’ friend, this new body to protect clubs from unfit owners, be too late for Morecambe? Fans meeting @shrimpstrust agm Thursday. Good luck to them. Like Tom White, they’re fighting hard to keep Morecambe alive. Football needs more people like them - and less like Whittingham. #Shrimps 🦐
Morecambe FC has zero directors, less than 10 senior players and staff & players still haven't received their full June wages.
Two former directors of the club, who resigned last week, say that we are "days" away from being thrown out of the football pyramid.
Please share our current issues and check the replies below for a deeper look into our situation.
There's a good chance you haven't heard anything about this. We are not being covered in the national media. We have loved the support from other fanbases so far, but we need more.
Morally and emotionally, I find it difficult to accept how Arsenal has approached the Thomas Partey situation.
Even if you make the argument for Arsenal being wary of the legal ramifications of suspending him, what can be made of their apparent desire to extend his contract beyond this summer?
Arsenal have long led the way in championing the women’s game, and have traditionally been held up as a club that “does things the right way”. Yet they have acted in a manner that raises questions about the sport’s moral compass and how it really views allegations of sexual assault towards women.
Partey denies the claims but they are serious. And Arsenal have acted in a way that has left many fans feeling uncomfortable and conflicted.

Jason Whittingham, the unreliable and untrusted owner of Morecambe FC, is now attempting to remove the board of directors. Appalling behaviour from the man who liquidated Worcester Warriors rugby club. Leopards don’t change their spots https://t.co/8hbQ2inE34
