Morecambe Football Club parts ways with manager Derek Adams
Morecambe Football Club has parted ways with manager Derek Adams. This came the day after Panjab Warriors officially bought the Shrimps from Bond Group Investments. Morecambe have been in crisis since being relegated from League Two last season. Adams, 50, was in his third stint in charge of the National League club having been appointed in June 2024. The Scot had previously managed the Shrimps from November 2019 to June 2021 - guiding them to promotion to League One via the play-offs - and from February 2022 to November. Adams had remained with Morecambe during a chaotic pre-season amid uncertainty over the club's long-term future. However, he leaves after 14 months in the job during which he oversaw their relegation from League Two. A Morecambe statement said the club gave "its sincere gratitude" to Adams for the "leadership and steadiness he brought to the club" throughout a "testing chapter". "His return instilled direction and purpose, helping guide Morecambe into League One for the first time in their history [in 2021] and stabilised the team under immense pressure," it added. "As the club enters a new era, a strategic transition in leadership has been made with respect and appreciation for Derek's services." It was announced on Sunday that Bond Group had sold its majority shareholding to the investment company, after the club had been up for sale for almost three years. Also on Monday afternoon, staff were paid outstanding wages for June. The club also announced its suspension from the National League had been lifted, and said outstanding July wages would be paid to employees by the end of Wednesday, as well as money owed to other football creditors including HMRC.

Brutal Morecambe SACK manager just hours after dramatically avoiding extinction
MORECAMBE have sacked manager Derek Adams just hours after avoiding extinction. The club have been in crisis since being relegated from League Two last season. 1 They were saved following the takeover by Panjab Warriors Ltd. And their first act has been to fire Adams, who was a popular figure in the dugout. Adams has spent the past few weeks working for the club without pay. He has had three spells in the dugout at Morecambe and led the club to promotion to League One in 2021 - the highest level the club has ever played at. The club thanked Adams for his contribution in a statement saying they want to move in a different direction. A statement reads: "Morecambe Football Club can confirm that we have parted ways with Derek Adams. "Morecambe Football Club, now proudly backed by Panjab Warriors would like to extend its sincere gratitude to Derek Adams for the leadership and steadiness he brought to the club during a testing chapter for the club. "His return instilled direction and purpose, helping guide Morecambe into League One for the first time in their history and stabilized the team under immense pressure. "As the club enters a new era, a strategic transition in leadership, has been made with respect and appreciation for Derek's services. "We wish Derek Adams every success in his future endeavours." Morecambe have been restored to the National League but their fixtures against Brackley Town and Boston United were postponed. The Shrimps are due to play their first National League game of the season at home against Altrincham FC on August 23. If the 105-year-old Lancs club was not sold by August 20, they faced being kicked out of the league and potentially going extinct altogether.
