Morecambe suspension lifted as takeover approved
The Shrimps had been forced to postpone their opening three fixtures after they were suspended from the league.
But a meeting of the National League's Club Compliance and Licensing committee on Sunday said the suspension would be lifted as soon as the paperwork was received from the sale.
The club's transfer embargo will remain in place until all football creditors, including players, staff and HM Revenue & Customs, are paid and payments made from the takeover.
Morecambe are due to host Altrincham on Saturday.

UK CEOs Get a Pay Boost, Eroding a Key Draw for a US Listing
Compensation for UK-based executives at the country's largest firms is rising, narrowing a pay gap with US peers that has contributed to an exodus of companies from London. The median salary for a chief executive officer of a FTSE 100 company grew by 6.8% to £4.6 million ($6.2 million) in 2025, the highest on record for the third year in a row, according to the High Pay Centre think tank.

Soho House to Be Taken Private in $2.7 Billion Deal
When Soho House went public in 2021, the operator of private members clubs told investors that it could become a successful publicly traded business. Now the company is going private again. Soho House, which is based in London, agreed to sell itself to a group of investors at a valuation of $2.7 billion, including debt, the company said on Monday. The transaction is the latest chapter for the company, which helped popularize a new generation of clubs where members spend thousands of dollars a year to eat, drink and socialize with similarly deep pockets. But Soho House has also battled a number of challenges over the years, including the pandemic and, more recently, investors who have questioned its business model. The company has lost money for most of its existence as a public company, though it reported quarterly profits this year. Its stock price ended last week down 45 percent from its initial public offering price. Its critics have long pointed out that, as a public company, Soho House is obligated to pursue growth — it now has 46 Soho House locations, as well as other branded clubs, work spaces and hotels around the world, and more than 270,000 members as of June 30 — but that strategy threatens its image of exclusivity. Last year, the short-seller Glasshouse Research, which was betting on a decline in the company's stock price, argued that the club operator had a 'broken business model and terrible accounting.'

UK Mulls Ditching Stamp Duty for New Property Tax, Guardian Says
The Treasury is examining the possibility of replacing stamp duty and introducing a new tax on the sale of UK homes worth more than £500,000 ($676,000), according to the Guardian. Officials have been asked to model the impact of a new 'proportional' national property tax, which would replace stamp duty on owner-occupied homes, the Guardian said, citing people it didn't name. The value of the property would determine the tax paid.
