What a mess our friends on the coast are in - there were rumours earlier that neither players or staff have been paid & that some players were refusing to play tomorrow. There is now a statement on Morecambe's website confirming this & saying they will endeavour to put a team out at Swindon (possibly academy players?)
The consensus on their forum suggests they are heading for administration - we might have our troubles but it seems they are in a much worse state
 
There's an interview in the Lancaster Times where they ask Ged about his future. He says they've got one player contracted for next season and an embargo on signing, that they could put out a youth team for next season but asks who will get sacked in they get thumped for the first few matches. He then says you've got to ask yourself what the best option is for a person in his position, adding that he's loved his time at Morecambe. I certainly don't think he's staying there.
 
I feel sorry for the players and fans and Ged at Morecambe, it's a terrible way to end the season. Even after having a poor season at the Wham I am still looking forward to August and the start of the new season, unfortunately I don't think that will be the feeling for many at Morecambe.

One thing that our lads never did.....

This is what happens when a club has a parasite owning them. Be thankful that Accrington are owned by a fan.

I have a feeling that if we survive , Ged will be at Accrington and we will be managed by either Derek Adams again or Coley !

Which league do you expect to be surviving in?.....And what happens to all the points earned if Morecambe go bust?

I think the points stay where they are. Any points deduction will be from next season if the club goes into admin.

Hoping for a new owner and EFL2 even with a minus 10 point start.

Yes, good news for the staff & players but they were paid late which could mean another fine &/or points deduction due to their owner breaking the agreement with the Efl

I believe the wages, etc were due at the end of the month so, technically, there may not have been an infringement.
Perhaps it was the players’ expectation, maybe because it usually happened, that wages would paid on or before the weekend that caused the latest kerfuffle.

According to one of their fans on Shrimps Voices, wages are due on 28th of each month - in March 2023, they weren't paid until 31st which led to the fines & eventual 3 point deduction. They might only have been a day late this time but it depends on how the Efl view it
