A statement on their official website read: “Panjab Warriors and Bond Group Investments Ltd are pleased to announce that an agreement has been reached in principle for the transfer of majority shareholding in Morecambe Football Club Ltd.
Why it matters for Morecambe
The agreement reflects the willingness of both sides to compromise in the best interests of Morecambe FC, its supporters, and the wider community.
It paves the way for continued stability and a positive future both on and off the pitch.
