One of the figures at the forefront of Morecambe’s summer takeover and continued running has been sanctioned by the United Kingdom government, which suspects him of belonging to terrorist organisations in India.
Gurpreet Singh Rehal, referred to as the director of marketing and communications of Morecambe’s owner, Panjab Warriors, is believed by the UK government to be involved in terrorist activities that range from recruitment to financial support and weapons purchasing for the Babbar Khalsa and Babbar Akali Lehar groups.
A statement released by HM Treasury on Thursday morning revealed that Singh’s UK assets had been frozen and that he had been disqualified as a director, which means he is banned from taking part in management at UK companies.

Derek Adams on the last stint at Morecambe:
“We played four pre-season games, singed only nine players from the last season who were under contract.
“We’d signed four players at that time as well, but the owner, the board, wouldn’t register the players. We had four players in the building for a two-week period who would’ve added to our squad.”
“We didn’t get paid in May, we didn’t get paid fully in June.”
“What I tried to do was try and keep the place together. We wanted to keep these players because I think they would’ve been hugely beneficial to the football club, but there were other sections who didn’t want that to work.”
“All of a sudden, the buy-out took place, and it went to a consortium who didn’t want to have me as their football manager.”
Morecambe have been suspended from the National League until the middle of August as the club’s ownership uncertainty continues. All players been told to go home until further notice. #UTS
Morecambe fans are fighting to keep their club alive.
Jason Whittingham has less than 2 days to sell the club. After that, Morecambe FC will cease to exist.
There has been little media coverage of this, despite the outrageous actions by Whittingham.
Morecambe fans need your support and solidarity.

Don’t let Morecambe be forgotten.
